City fans here in the Tavern are having the time of their lives, and who can blame them after breaking a Premier League record already this season.
Many fans regarded Manchester City as title contenders prior to the season, but barely any of them would have expected them to be on course for the title entering the new-year.
After a disappointing first season in charge of the club, Pep Guardiola has bucked his ideas up over the summer months after signing the players he believes can win him the title, and boy does it look like happening.
The business completed by the club over the course of previous transfer windows just goes to show how important it is to constantly bring in fresh personnel. Having witnessed the incredible strength in depth that City now pose with injuries and suspensions expected, even their second-team could win the title.
Therefore, with Guardiola looking to continue on his merry way he’s already looking to bolster their current position, with the Daily Star suggesting that Sergio Busquets is next on the hit-list for the manager.
Sergio Busquets is as consistent player as you’re going to find in the middle of midfield, after doing the simple things so impeccably that it’s seen him become one of the world’s best defensive-midfield talents.
Nevertheless, with one player already firmly in their sights, here’s a look at TWO other players that Pep Guardiola should look to bring to the Etihad.
Inigo Martinez

You’ve got the heavy links suggesting that City are looking to sign Virgil Van Dijk, but having taken some heavy defeats on the chin this season it’s time that they looked for superior talent elsewhere.
Inigo Martinez has been sensational for his current club Real Sociedad so far this season, in the appearances he’s made for the side there’s even been a goal and an assist bought into his game from a centre-back position.
So at 26-years-old he’s now heading into his peak years in his footballing career, so a move to the Premier League would be of great reward for the defender who’s already managed to feature in games for his nation, Spain.
After continuing to put in impressive performances against a league that holds the two best players in the world, there’s no wonder that reports in the Daily Mail suggest that Manchester City are eyeing a move in January.
Leon Gortezka

Leon Goretzka has written his name in the stars this season as he continues to progress towards becoming one of Germany’s biggest future, and present talents.
Plying his trade in Germany’s first-division for his current side 04 Schalke, he’s managed to establish himself as the shining light in their side from a central-midfield position that’s seen him score 4 and assist 1 already this season.
But his most phenomenal stat to this date has been his ability to score 6 goals in the 12 appearances he’s made for the German national side so far, a feat that not even some of the strikers manage to achieve during their international career.
Therefore, with Goretzka possessing some special talents, the league leaders have been reported in the Manchester Evening News to share a link with Liverpool for the midfielder, now that Yaya Toure is coming towards the end of his career.
City fans, thoughts?
