Centre-back

Bit of a long shot but I would love us o have a go at getting Daniel Van Buyten from Bayern
Knows Komps very well (through Belgium) and would be equally good partnering Vincent in Nasty's absence or leading the defence when our skipper is out. He's done the lot at Bayern and his experience and mentality would undoubtedly benefit the side and young Nastastic over the course of the season.
Whether he is attainable is another question but he's done all he can at Bayern and may well relish the opportunity of helping to build City. He also appears to be a very level-headed guy who would fit in we'll o the team philosophy we are building. Also, given his age, he wouldn't break the bank.
So for me, DVB is the way to go!

To old and makes javi garcia look fast
 
The longer we leave it the more we will pay I think. Deadline buys are nearly always expensive. I'm hoping the delay is because we have money coming in, to go towards whoever it is , from the sale of Sinclair and possibly Garcia (our last minute buys from last season ironically!)

We've done really well with the quality and speed of our buys but a centre half should have been first on our shopping list. If we thought we could kill two birds with one stone by playing Garcia there we must know by now that that isn't going to work.

I really think it will be the difference between us having a better than evens chance at winning the league and very little chance. Kompany and anyone look pretty good but once he's out the difference is huge.

Mascherano, anyone? Argentine, versatile (DM or CB), proven PL quality and unsettled at Barca.

Get rid of Garcia and possibly Barry and he would be a fine choice to replace,i'd still want a specialist centre half though.

While I agree, about Kompany, in reality the one position outfield that dosn't get rotated when fit very much is captain and centre half, so the better the centre half we buy the more likely he will want a regular start. Any incoming player will know he is 2nd choice to Kompany especially if we keep Lescott to rotate with Nastasic on the left.
 
What about vermalen? Proven in the premier league and champions league. Out of favour at arsenal. Ticks all the boxes for me. Doubts over his fitness but there always is with arsenal players
