He could play DM, but provide some energy in bursting forward. Cup tied at the moment, but he would be available for a reasonable price I would assume and unless we can get somebody better (who is also eligiblefor the CL) then I wouldn't put too much focus on that, after all we could play our socks of but still get knocked out. Although he would give us an extra body to use in non CL games, allowing more rotation so we can rest players like Ferna and Yaya.

I know, but unless he not eligible for a transfer then I don't see why that would prevent us from signing him. To me he looks mobile and good enough, if our scouts think the same then a move in this window would not seem inappropriate.

If we don't get another quality cente back and and holding midfielder (Yaya is never going to be a holding midfielder) then I think our ambitions in the Champions League and Premier League will fall short!!

Two mistakes we've made so far - Letting Gareth Barry leave and I am totally baffled as to why Rodwell now fit isn't getting more game time - he is super athletic and fits perfectly into the Pellergrini philosophy of a high intensity game, winning the ball back quickly etc....

Rodwell is injured again

Well there is a Y in the day....
 
If we don't get a central midfielder in we risk losing the title. It's been shown time and time again that if Yaya and Dinho don't start together we are a totally different team. Largely because the replacements are nowhere near up to standard. We refuse to play Milner in the middle. If one of them gets a bad injury = Garcia in centre mid for the rest of the season which IMO costs us the title. We need to sign someone who can play with/ instead of Yaya/ Fernandinho.

The same could be said if Kompany gets another injury, but we still out score teams. A centre back is needed, but centre mid should be priority IMO. Don't think we will sign anyone this month though (unless Lescott goes).
 
Casillas Rumoured on a few web sites....www.caughtoffside.com, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.independent.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.independent.co.uk</a>, www1.skysports.com

on caughtoffside were also interested in Ramos....

Etihad Stadium side chase Bernabeu duo.

Though Man City have clearly had no problem finding the back of the net this term it appears Etihad Stadium boss Manuel Pellegrini is keen to strengthen his defence with Spanish source AS claiming that the former Real Madrid manager is readying a bid for Bernabeu defensive pair Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos.


Ramos would be welcome not sure about Casillas

I wish that rumour came from somewhere at least partially reliable. Ramos should be our top target short of cloning Fernandinho.
 
vincent kompany and sergio ramos, what a CB pairing that would be. Don't think it'll ever happen though...

I agree with the others saying we need a CM. Dinho goes down and we're screwed... Rumors seem to be thin and few, though. Doesnt seem like anyone worthy is available. Hope I'm wrong

being linked with scharr from basel high scoring cb looks decent.
 
How about this Jackson Martinez guy from Porto?

38 goals in 44 Porto league appearance. Looks like Dzeko's Wolfsburg stat.

27 years young though.

I can see them going for Barkley, and they will have to pay up big time for him.

In all seriousness, I've seen a few rumours that they're looking at Matic. Whether they do buy anyone remains to be seen, but I'm sure they would be happy to bump up his price if we are looking at getting him.
 
Manchester City are reported to be keeping tabs on FC Groningen forward Richairo Juliano Zivkovic, reports talkSPORT.



Dubbed as ‘the new Arjen Robben’ by the media, the 17 year old has come through the ranks of the Eredivisie side Zivkovic and made his senior team debut in December 2012. He has since developed impressively to cement his place in the squad as a first team regular this season, while representing Holland at the Under 18 and Under 19 recently as well.

The Serbian-Dutch footballer of Curaçaoan descent has already notched up 20 appearances in all competitions this term, finding the back of the net 5 times. His performances have led to a number of high profile European sides keeping tabs on him, ahead of a potential winter move.

1.86m tall Zivkovic can ply his trade both as a centre forward and on the right flank with equal ease.

The Citizens would undoubtedly hope to land this highly rated youngster, who is himself understood to be open to the idea of a switch away from the Euroborg. However, with the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain already believed to be keeping tabs on him, it is suggested that Zivkovic may not be an easy buy for the English giants anymore

It won't help that one of their summer targets has admitted he would have committed suicide had he gone to United in the summer :-)

I can't see why any up and coming player would sign for United at the moment. With Rooney rumoured to be off, RVP reportedly unsettled plus the possibility of not having CL football next season - as you say prices will be bumped up

They don't need to spend it. They only use academy players, ya'know?
