With kompany and ya ya missing please sign Martinez from Bilbao great cover for both of these players, superb technique and the right age.
 
Yeah he is a fantastic prospect but his buyout clause is £33million and he's not worth close to that, plus Bilbao really want to keep him and he's loyal being a Basque boy like all of their players. De Rossi could also cover for Yaya and Kompany, and is a more realistic option though that potential deal is on a knife-edge right now.
 
We can see Vinnie's ban out by playing Micah in his position. Strong & can sure get up & head a ball. The only thing is we would miss him down the wing. But for me this would save a panic buy in the transfer market. Why rush out & buy a player we don't really want. Or there is Savic who did not look out of place when he came on in the 2nd half. Between our squad we can fill the gaps in the back 4 & midfield. Its the strikers roles we need to be looking at with injuries.
 
Yeah Martinez is the kind of player I want to see is signing. Young and talented who can secure the long term future of the club
 
He's an absolutely fantastic player, would definitely want to see his kind in a City shirt.

That said, not sure January is the best time to try and sign him. We're only trying to paper over some short term holes, we'd probably end up getting gouged at this point.
 
Guliem beligue ( can't be arsed looking for his correct spelling ) tweeted united are willing to pay 24 million for him. Now after reading this entire post you realise why I couldn't be arsed finding out how to spell his name properly.
 
If I had my way.

IN- Vertonghen Replacement for Lescott (get rid of Kolo) (Ajax 15m)
Martinez (33m) Replacement for Barry

Summer 2013
Mario Gotze Replacement for YaYa


-Wake up with wet patch on pants. A boy can dream ;)

YaYa is only 28, still has atleast 3 years in him.

It really sounds very arrogant and childish to read "sign this or that" threads because Kompany/Yaya are out for few games.

You don't spend millions for 4 games backup.

Sense at last.

Some people have the football manager syndrome.
 
Samba and the fulham lad (spelling) dembeli !!! Great great players an would not only help while we have a few problems but will add height and power to both defence and attack !!!
The fulham lad has great feet pace and power and playin with silva an yaya etc would improve him, prob get both for 15 million. Any thoughts ??
 
Don't think DDR will come to City: he's too Roman. Even if he does, I'd buy Martinez now for his potential. Liked him for a few years and there's people that think he and Pique will be Spain's centre back paring before too long.

Agreed, we have to be mindful of FFP.

However IMO we need a world class partner for VK regardless.

For Christ's sake, if you are signing Javi Martinez you are clearly not buying a player for four games. You are buying a player who will be one of the worlds best CM for years to come.

And those that think 33 is too much for him....he will realistically go for a little less and whoever gets him will be happy to get him at that price. Just like Hazard. The price is only going to go up....

Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy every player that will improve our squad.
 
Really playing well against Madrid right now and handling Benzema well - again as a centre-back, so if we buy him what do we buy him as, a defender or midfielder? He can play both but eventually like Kompany will have to settle on one position. Bilbao seem to fancy him more as a defender now.
