Who joins us in January?

You’d think that no player has ever moved clubs in the history of the January window the way you talk. You forget that we’ve signed top players like Dzeko and Laporte in the past.

There’s lots of players available and I bet the vast majority would bite your arm off to join City.

You’re right in the sense that we are still in a decent position for CL qualification but that is more through luck than judgement. With the way we’ve performed in the last two months, we should be nowhere near 6th place.

Just look at the last few games. We lost to a shite United side, failed to beat a shite Everton side and got extremely lucky against a shite Leicester side. We simply do not finish top four without a few new additions.

Any slight overspend will also pay for itself if the players help us finish in the top 4.

That said, they know work has to be done. Versatile midfielder Joshua Kimmich, out of contract at Bayern Munich in the summer, has long fancied a move to the Premier League. Mail Sport has reported that Atalanta's Brazilian Ederson has been watched by City. Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace has admirers.

While both Martin Zubimendi and Bruno Guimaraes have also been discussed, City last week moved to rule out their possible January arrivals. City also knocked down the idea of a deal for Atletico Madrid's Pablo Barrios, although they are thought to have previously debated moving for the Spain international.

There is a buyback clause in Liam Delap's contract at Ipswich Town, with Lille striker Jonathan David also linked having scored 19 goals in 28 games for club and country this term. Omar Marmoush, 25, at Eintracht Frankfurt is possibly one to watch after the Egyptian netted 18 goals in 24 appearances for the Bundesliga side so far.

Wharton's Palace team-mate Marc Guehi is well liked at centre half but is likely to be out of any Premier League club's reach in January.

If the quality isn't available? The new players still have to fully adapt as well so there it won't be a smooth transition into life in the Premier League.

A league 1 DM would improve us currently. While the player may not be the long term solution in January, to do nothing would be suicidal for the club…. Players do move in Jan, its not ideal but we are desperate and will need to take our medicine!!

I cant believe anyone who has watched us since the start of NOV, can be so blasé about not bringing a DM in (even if its a temporary fix). The mind boggles

Yep! Even Pep is publicly saying we need help and hopes the club can do something. There has to be younger players up for the challenge as well? Nico Gonzalez, Valera, Baena to name a few?

Can't recall Pep ever being as blatant in his statements regarding the transfer window. He's been explicit saying we need a midfielder and a defender.

Although true he often says something like the market is difficult or we’ll see.

But we will be signing players.
 
I dont mind those attackers, Delap, Marmoush, David.

But these are summer signings, the attack currently is just about okay.

We desparately need a defender or two, and a defensive midfielder in january.
