Javi Martinez

People place too much emphasis on speed, if a defender has good positioning and doesn't go diving into tackles then he should be okay.
 
Yep, that's the concern. He's a brilliant player though, we wanted him when he was at Bilbao. Can play CB and CDM too. Perfect for the pivot role and to be defensive cover.
He won't play pivot though, as DM he was a pure destroyer in Heynckes' 4231. Pep used him there a couple of times, and it wasn't good.
 
He's injured a lot ain't he?

He's had problems but played a decent number of games last season.

A player I wanted City to buy well before he went to Bayern. No idea if random tweet from some Liverpool fan has any merit but Martinez is a quality player and can cover CB or CDM so it's the type of purchase that would make sense for City in this window. Might actually be a deal Bayern would look at.
