I am not an expert on foreign players at all and can confess that i have never laid eyes on Aguero or Dzeko so i voted for Benzema because i have seen quite a lot of him on the TV and he looks like he has everything that a striker needs in the English game, height, strength, power and a great scoring ability.

Yes
Dzeko - 82 goals in 135 games for Wolfsburg. They've been awful this season yet his goal record is still better than 1 in 2.
Higuain - Great player, contingent on where Hermann ends up
Bent - Scored goals everywhere he's played, knows the league, etc, etc.

No
Torres - Class but forever injured, Liverpool won't sell him.
Aguero - Don't get the hype.
Anelka - Been there, done that and wouldn't come.
Pato - Milan wouldn't sell.
Carroll - Looks great at the moment but yet another head-case.

Torres or Dzeko, for me it would be the same! But Tevez must stay here until June, he's payed a lot to win a title or two with all other City players next year!
From Torino, Italia to Manchester, Lancashire this City is always our City!

What about David Villa? I think it's more likely that Barca will be Tevez destination... we could do a deal where they give us Villa in exchange, and with Villa and Silva being ex-team mates the chemistry will already be there between them!

Add to it that he's often injured too.

Jesus shit!

Carrol is another half season wonder and does not project for me as world class goalscorer in long term.

Aguero would be direct replacement for Tevez and probably available. Pair him with Dzeko and I reckon we'll be laughing in the end.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

the common opinion seems to be that he's vastly overrated...imho he isn't, maybe he's not as good as Tevez but he's top class, same kind of player, so we could slot him in quite easily. Dzeko would add another dimension to our game, the one we lost when Adebayor's relationship with mancini deteriorated, or whatever the reason is for him not even making the bench anymore.

I think Aguerro has great talent but as a finisher he's like Darius Vassell's twin brother. He misses about 5 chances for every one he scores.

To be fair, Tevez has developed that eye for goal only in past few years.

I would never suggest Aguero alone but play him behind out and out goalscorer and we will score plenty. I think.

I wouldn't mind signing him if we signed another striker as well. Trouble is we don't know who's staying or leaving now because this could effect the position of all the strikers we were planning on dumping.

Imo, ability wise, Adebayor is a better player than just about anyone we could sign; if we could get some performances out of him but have we agreed to sell/loan him?

I'd go for Dzeko or Torres.

We need a big man to lead the line and score with his feet and HEAD!

Torres is nearly as bad as sick note RSC......NO THANKS.

Dzeko is the only real choice.
