Manuel Pellegrini has hit the jackpot after guiding Manchester City into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time.

City's owners are ready to sanction another big-money raid on the transfer market in January so that Pellegrini can address any weaknesses in his squad in the hope that the Chilean can begin an assault for a historic quadruple.

Pellegrini wants to recruit a new striker and defender.

They have been monitoring Porto central defensive duo Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi.

Pellegrini wanted to bring in Mangala last summer, only for City to baulk at Porto's £34million asking price.

Mangala has also been targeted by Chelsea and has just signed a deal that will see him represented by the same agent as Jose Mourinho.

Otamendi, a 26-year-old Argentina international, is valued at £25m

New Striker ? Why ? we sell Dzeko ?

I don't know why we not go for CM, we desperately need another center mid.

That's the new future BT Champions League money earmarked then. ;]
 
Think we need a defender of VK's stature, would put my mind at rest. Otherwise, I think we're ok. Don't think we need another striker though.
 
Can't be true. Sick of this "new striker" that is thrown around all the time. Even if Dzeko leaves, Jovetic, Negredo and Aguero are enough. CB and midfield is where we could improve the quality of depth.

Plus Guidetti,we're well covered.

However,a new left back would be very useful.
 
CB, and CM are biggest needs in January. if we can, also get another winger/AM cause we need someone else in addition to Nasri and Silva.
 
In

Coentrao £10-15m
Mangala £30m
Matic/ Pogba £30m
Casillas £10-20m?
Draxler £30-40m or more realistically Gaitan £20m
James Ward-Prowse £10m
young GK


Out
Dzeko
Clichy/Kolarov (either)
Lescott
Milner
Pantilimon (not his fault, but he's too good to be 3rd choice)
maybe even shop Yaya around and see if either of the french moneybags fancy him
 
We'll buy 1, 2 at most players in January. No one goes out and buys 4 or 5 players in January unless they're in an unusual situation. Most teams don't want their best players to go half way through the season unless you offer stupid money.
 
You talk far too much sense. I think it's only natural though to want to complete your squad and get rid of the weaknesses. A LB and another creative midfielder would be my top priorities, or promote Rony Lopes into the first team squad on a more permanent basis. If Casillas is available then I'd be all over it, but I wouldn't be after a keeper unless they are genuinely top class

Edited for correctness
 
January window.
In; Cassilas loan, Baines £16m, Pogba £30m (maybe offer Kolarov as a sweetener)
Out; Hart loan, Kolarov £5m, Garcia £5m or loan, Lescott loan

Summer
In; Hummels, Reus combined £65m, Khediera £30m (only if we failed in Pogba deal), young left back

Out; Clichy £5m, Lescott free, Barry free, Garcia £5m, Kolarov £5m if they didn't leave in jan, Dzeko £15-20m, maybe
 
we have lot of PASSENGER in our team, and do not add any value in term of competitiveness. the gap between 1st team player and 2 team (squad player) is too big. we depend too much to our several key players and can't survive if any of them is missing or days off.

in january, i just hope Txiki bring another DM and another CB.

technically, Yaya and Fernandinho is good enough to cover for Silva position, in case he has an injury. we can't rely on Garcia or Rodwell to patrol in front of the back 4. we need better DM (or recall Barry back).

also if we add another quality CB (and assume Kompany will be fit), Martin can play as a DM alongside Yaya, and Fernandinho can play Nasri role (and let Nasri play Silva role, no need for him to frequently drop too deep).

not necessarily buying all of them, we can sign them temporary on loan like David Pizzaro.

ahahaha why sign pogba? might as well just go for xavi
and Joe Hart leaving on loan? i think i'm going to throw up from laughing so hard
Reus and Hummels wouldn't join, Dortmund are a better club and they have less competition in the team there
Pogba wouldn't join, and if he did he couldn't play for us in the champions league because he's already been registered for another club this season

you are actuallly unbelievably stupid and you know nothing about football.
you do not understand the idea of football and are instead planning this like it's FIFA ultimate team where you just try to get the best players in each position

Love your optimism. My sides are still aching. Hummels, Reus and Pogba / Khediera ? Would be amazed if we got one of those.
 
i think pogba could definitely end up in a city shirt one day. Vieira had a big influence on his move to Juve. Plus there's no way pogba stays in Italy for more than 2-3 years. I can't see happening, anyways. Not a January buy though...

In: Baines, caballero, and Bruno from villarreal... He'd solve the d mid problem for now, get some looks for world cup and probably be OK with being a squad player come next season. One who could actually play without instantly dropping the teams quality. Then we sign pogba and let in the summer (ideally). imagine a yaya fernandinho pogba midfield trio... :O

Out: pants (deserves to be playing but not here), kolorav or clichy idc. i want both gone by summer and a young left back in to shadow baines

besides that i can't see much happening until summer. though come summer, i want dzeko, lescott, kolorav, clichy, garcia, milner, and rodwell (given we get pogba) all off the payroll. Replace them with some younger talent for the future and present cup games and less important fixtures.
