Who will they be signing?
Well that’s where we get in to speculation, but what I can tell you here is who the genuine targets are, based upon how things stand at the moment and the reliable information at hand. But remember, things will move and change very quickly this month and none of these are certainties to sign - which nobody can reliably predict - however:
I think that Roque Santa Cruz looks very likely.
Of the players being linked, it is also true that Scott Parker and Craig Bellamy are genuine targets and must be considered realistic. Kolo Toure is also a target and is also considered a possibility.
Of course, there has been a lot of rumours surrounding a really big name signing – and I know that this is more than mere press speculation. The club are trying to bring in at least one absolutely world class, big name player. A many of you have said, Man City realise that the signing of this kind of player will be key in attracting even more players of this calibre: it’s just a question of getting the first one to sign up.
So, the plan for this January is to bring in at least one of those big names, alongside the kind of players mentioned above – and that will set the wheels in motion for the summer and the new Man City project.
