The question for City and the advantages we have when signing Spanish players is that we AREN'T Barca or Madrid. What sorts of advantages would City have in signing Martinez, Muniain or anyone for that matter:

1) We are outside of Spanish politics.
2) We can offer yearly Champions League football.
3) We have Silvaaa.

Get it done.

Unfortunately Bilbao is the only club in Europe's top leagues were loyalty and tradition still exist.

I believe he did ok tonight?

Incredibly talented footballer, I think he could be priority #1 or #2 (behind Hazard) this summer for us.

Heh. Yeah, not too bad.

Thread title really does say it all. Sign him now.

I think Spain is where we should be doing the majority of our shopping.

Hazard or Lavezzi to compliment......

How did he look? My stream was utter garbage.

Like the player we need, can play as CB, DF and attacking midfielder. He´s a very good player, going to be 24 this year and 6 ft 3 (190cm). Very mature in his game. If we were to sign one player this is the one i would want the club to sign, he´s a big talented youing lad who can play in a lot different positions.

Some very very good stuff, some very very bad stuff. Gave the ball away too much in dangerous situations & on another day or against better strikers would have cost the match.

Some nice passes but nothing to merit dropping any of our players.

On his day or not he is better than Milner Barry Hargreaves DeJong Savic and kolo, whether he plays CMF, DMF, box to box or CB. We could sell DeJong Savic and Kolo, release Hargreaves, Pizzaro and MJ and buy this guy saving a massive amount on wages and collect over half the transfer fee from sales and still have a better squad/ first 11. This makes even more sense when you look at FFPR. As previously mentioned this guy and Hazard should be the first 2 signings without any hesitation.
