Javi Martinez (CM) - Athletic Bilbao
Another central midfielder to see off the rank averageness that is Milner, Barry and De Jong. Javi Martinez has blossomed this past season under Marcelo Bielsa and playing at centre back is just another string to his bow. Being Spanish he is comfortable with the ball at his feet and can see a pass but his main strengths are his size and power. Isn't afraid to do the hard work in the middle of the park, a perfect foil for Cabaye. Martinez is only 23 and has plenty of time to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the world. Cost £25 - 30 miliion.
