Three January bargains for Man City

Thiago Silva

With Vincent Kompany still struggling with injury City desperately look like they need a leader to organise the defensive side of their game.

Thiago Silva would be the ideal addition. The Brazilian matches world-class ability with exceptional experience and leadership qualities. He still possesses good physical attributes and looks to have plenty more years left in him at the top level. Better still, the 32-year-old is out of contract this summer and can likely be purchased for a cut-price fee.
