City have spent around one quarter of a billion pounds of their defence in the last few weeks. I don't think they'd take him. Chelsea have Cahill, Rudiger and the Spanish lads. Perhaps room for one more there.
Your suggestion that we'd take a 'no dithering' approach to a transfer is so left-field that it's beyond laughable.

We could do with a genuinely great one but there aren't any. We are comparatively blessed in having one of the best around (Koscielny) a couple of big strapping Germans and a decent looking young English one.
Whereas in midfield we have a collection of the sick, the lame and the horrible. Midfielder for me.
