I think this is pretty much what the team needs except if we could somehow get Kevin prince boateng from Milan he would be Much more better than Martinez in the Midfield and would totally cover for either Barry , Dejong or even yaya depending on how the case maybe (Injuries , Afcon and all of that) . The thing i like Most about KPB is his aggression on the pitch and when i say aggression in don't mean reckless tackles like Cheikh Tiote and NDJ (sad but true) rather i mean his resilience on the ball , he hardly loses the ball and his not just all tackles ,he also gives brilliant passes too .
KPB can bring the following to Mancity compared to Martinez :
1.
Youth / Longevity = In covering for either Yaya or Barry who are 29 and 32 respectively plus he would give us at least 5 good seasons before he becomes 30 , KPB was born 1987 , Martinez 1988 no difference really (Of course Martinez can also bring longevity too ).
2.
Team rotation / diversity : He plays as AMF and sometimes deep as DMF in Milan. Martinez on the other hand only plays DMF and sometimes as a make shift defender in AB something they can afford to do in the Spanish league but definitely not in the EPL as we all know that Makeshift defenders in the EPL = suicide .
3.
Experience : KPB has played in 2 consecutive UCL competitions against giants such as real madrid and Barcelona and has always been involved in providing an assist (the game against madrid) and actually scoring against barcelona . His experience is needed if we want to go ahead to win the UCL or be at the finals .
4.
Goals: Has great shot power on his feet and Scores when it matters something Barry / NDJ hardly provides .
I believe only 2 players are needed .
1.
a CB= T.Silva or Chellini , Milan's interest in Tevez could only mean that we stand a better chance of getting T.Silva
2.
Javi Martinez or KPB = Maybe we could offer Kolo Toure plus some cash to Milan for KPB considering the fact that we could be taking their best defender away (T.silva for Tevez) and they would want to find a cover for T.Silva immediately ,
I still believe Kolo is one of the top 5 ...lets say Top 10 defenders in the world , Milan love older players and the league isn't as fast or demanding as the EPL so he would do just fine there .
