Martinez but it looks like he's going Bayern. Anyone know of any others, which would fit into our team well and look realistic to buy ....?

There are only 2 defensive midfielders in the world who are better than De Rossi. Alonso and Busquets. No point talking about either of them.

Is Alonso really that heard to get. I heard he's refused to sign a contract or that Real haven't offered him one?
 
A good shout on Moutinho and not an impossible signing. Alonso is a long shot even though they are not extending his current contract, they will still use him for a number of games. Sahin is a very good player but I don't think he suits Roberto's profile of a midfielder.
 
Moutinho and Witsel strike me as the two who would probably be available, but would be expensive. Not as good as De Rossi though.
Khedira or Sahin would be good enough alternatives I suppose but in terms of all-round midfield play, Moutinho and Witsel are ahead of the two imo. Khedira probably unattainable as well.

Moutinho.

I thought he was more an attacking MF not the versatility we need to slot into CB when Yaya goes in Jan for 4 weeks.
have you never noticed that Yaya hasn't played centre half for us?
Actually he did once when someone got a red card. I think it might have been against Arsenal, but my memory is fuzzy.

And no, I don't think Yaya is a CB for anything other than an emergency.

the inference he made though was that we needed CB cover when Yaya was off to the ACON
