City Reaching for the Stars

Manchester City is prepared to make bids for some of the game's top players this January. Here are four players that I would like to see make the move to the Eastlands.

4. Anthony Vanden Borre: The 21-year-old Belgian is versatile; he plays right back plus right and central midfield. Not known globally, but the Genoa player still has the right amount of youth and potential to be perfect for Mark Hughes' bench.

3. Zlatan Ibrahimović: The Swedish superstar has the talent to stand firm against the rigorous conditions of the English game. He also would be able to deal with the weather having hailed from the Allsvenskan.

2. Cristian Villagra: The 22-year-old River Plate left back would join fellow countryman Pablo Zabaleta in City's back four.

1. Franck Ribéry: Last season's Bundesliga Player of the Year would be a fan favorite at City. The 25-year-old embodies all that is good about the global game.
