Despite Hart's indifferent form, I think not panicking to buy a GK would give Pants a fair shot at being first choice. The issue I see here is not about buying someone to replace Hart but more of knocking Hart down a few notches from his high perch and letting him know that he has some competition in Pants as well. Moreover, Pants doesn't appear all too shabby in the league cup matches I saw him played in. So, it will be a waste of good cash to spend it on a GK when there's already 2 decent GKs in the squad.
Also, despite a good amount of voices calling for a new CB, Pelle needs to see how Demi does before making a decision on whether to move for more CB cover and I have heard from fans who have seen Demi play for his previous teams that he is a pretty good defender. City desperately needs a second-in-command at the back and Demi with all his experience, may be able to provide that. I think a younger CB should be only considered come the summer if Lescott decides to leave eventually but we have Boyata waiting in the wings though as well as Rekik.
I think a bigger issue lies in midfield. You cannot pick a reliable choice after the first choice pairing of Fernandinho and Yaya. Letting De Jong, City's most natural DM go and replacing him with the inferior Garcia has taken an effective defensive dimension away from City's midfield. Rodwell has been piss poor so far after showing some good form towards the end of last season and it seems like his injury woes will never end. To not make the decision to loan Barry, the third best midfielder behind Fernandinho and Yaya out, look like a foolish move, City should get at least a reliable third choice midfielder and one that offers something different from the dynamic duo we have.
