Would be a good signing.

I do wonder how we missed the boat with Vertongen as Kompany would have known all about him and he is left sided. Spuds got a bargain
 
Txiki Begiristain beginning to flex his muscles at Manchester City?

Jan 3rd, 2013


Reports including this recent one in The Sunday Times point towards Manchester City having an interest in Borussia Dortmund’s outstanding defender, Mats Hummels.

24 year old Hummels has been the steel in the Borrusia defence. To entice the the back to back Bundesliga winner to the Premier League would not be cheap and a fee of some £30m has been mooted by Fichajes in Spain. It is believed that the player’s contract does not contain a buy out clause which of course serves to make Borrusia’s position a very secure one. Any deal for this window is thought to be completely out of the question, but the suggestion may just become a little more agreeable in the summer.

Widely regarded as one of the top center-halves in Europe, the pairing of Hummels and Kompany would be without doubt something special. This class of targeting smacks of the involvement of Txiki Begiristain, City’s new director of football and the owners’ intent to be relentless in their ambitions for the club.

The Daily Express were just one of many outlets to report that Manchester United had also scouted the German, who as recently as November sai

One day I will say that I am keen on a transfer. To play football in a new country would be flattering. I already had offers and one enquiry from these offers was really one of interest for me.

Difficult to think of a better potential buy for the Citizens. Hummels would be expensive but as the old saying goes, ‘buy cheap, buy twice.’
 
We've been making enquiries about Hummels since summer. Hopefully Txiki will be the man to bring him in. I can't see him joining until summer though if he does leave Dortmund
 
Like I've been saying for 18 months - what we've lacked is a world class centre back - he is just that. Get it done.....................

Kompany is world class i thinks it's universally agreed.
Kolo has been very good as back up for Kompany this season.

Nastasic is 19 and doing very well and getting better with every match he plays.
We also have Lescott who i think is great but Mancini seems to have a downer on him.

As good as Hummels is i think we are just fine in central defense tbh.
 
Forget about the signing, I want the red T-shirt at the bottom of the page - brilliant!

Obviously not going to happen. We are already covered in the CB position. It'd be more believable if it were talking about a player that has qualities and these certain qualities are something that the team lacks (Pace, Pirlo-esc player).
 
Great agile defender, who is not afraid to venture forward into opposition half!

If we are trying to get him in the summer, then I think it means the end for Lescot and Kolo (keeping in mind that Rekik is expected to break into 1st team).

They're going into their thirties, those two and so this would make sense.
 
We Defo need a new centre back with kolo and lescott in their 30s. I'd feel for Nast not starting every game but he'd still get alot if playing time and the competition would be good .

No, we are not.
Kompany is indeed world class - but can get injured/banned same as anyone else.
Nast is only 19 - potential agreed, but not enough to challenge for CL.
Lescott isnt a top four player IMO & never was (its the only thing Mancini and I agree on!) - and is now too old too.
Kolo (see Lescott).

Hummels IS world class and only 24yrs old.....................

Linked again today ..... Kompany and Hummels would be immense ........ Zabba and Clichy as fullbacks with Nastastic, Micah, Rekik and Lescott as cover .....sell Kolo and Kolarov

Strongly disagree. He may not be popular on here but that doesn't mean he's shit..

Disagree...if we are after hummels and will try to bring him here in the summer then the club will sell kolo and lescott(2 Cb) with nasty and rekik at back-ups not a Cb and a LB(kolarov) FFs...and i really see that happen in the summer
