The more I think about it, our squad really just need one signing, providing our four regular strikers stay.
That's Martinez.
He'll complete the midfield and make it stronger.
He'll be a fantastic back-up for Joleon or Vinnie if out for some reasons.
He can play in Yaya's position, Barry's, De Jong's, Kompany and Lescott's... and even if required step up the pitch to play as an attacking central midfielder.
He's s costly I gather, and maybe some other team is looking to secure his services, but is this not the kind of player who's simply worth whatever the selling club is asking for? Still very young and will have a fantastic re-sale value in five years time, when he'll maybe want to move back to Spain.
I think he showed in his last Spain game what he's all about: great defending with a fantastic passing range, as well as almost playing as an attacker at one point.
He oozes with class and composure, and we really need to bring him here.
