Luke Shaw will not happen in January, not whilst he is getting game time consistently at Southampton. In the summer should we decide to let Kolorov or Clichy go then maybe. I am sure he is on the radar though. English, young and proving himself both going forward and defensively. We do not need to spend massively, and I doubt we will buy at all in Jan unless something happens that requires us to or someone becomes available on the cheap. Pellegrini likes players who are composed and comfortable on the ball. Defensively he has a quartet of Demichelis, Garcia, Nastasic and Kompany whom he trusts with this task. Boyata and Lescott are on the peripheral, and Joleon will surely want to leave in Jan. In central midfield we could benefit from another player, Milner is clearly preferred wide still. But perhaps someone from the academy steps up. We still need that one world class player, one who can change a game on his own like Yaya or Aguero. Isco would have been a great signing but I think we will still be on the look out for that someone. Again, possibly they see an academy player coming in and providing that unexpected impact. Lopez, Pozo or the like.
