Man City Transfers: 5 January Replacements For Joe Hart

2. Tim Krul (Newcastle United)

Tim Krul is another Dutch goalkeeper that has impressed in the Premier League enough to now be considered one of the best players at this level. It's fair to say that injuries have played their part at times. For instance, he completed only 24 games last season and that might have played a part in what proved to be a difficult season for Newcastle. Nevertheless, the previous season he played every game in the league as the club surprised everyone by finishing fifth. Krul is a consistent player and recently showed how good he is with a performance against Spurs. A strong bid from Man City this January would prove to test the resolve of the club, and his loss could send Newcastle's season on a downward spiral.
