the point is, Clichy has been a very good signing thus far, and you cannot hold these fuclers to what they said a year or two ago under duress.

Have you ever been out with your missus and said another woman was hot?

Straight swap in Jan -- Tevez for Sturridge.

cheers


For Huntelaar I would as he isnt up to scratch anyway.

Tevez for Sturridge has as much chance as an England call-up for David Brightwell.


did you think Tevez for Sturridge was a serious comment?

Regardless, I'm not saying we should buy the buck toothed Dutchman, but just saying you cannot lay waste to every player who's said some flippant bullshit about City in the last 3 years.

I think Anelka on a short term contract would be great business. Unlikely though.

I wonder if Benzema is being considered. Don't know, however, if he'd fit in with our line up and style of play.

I was also thinking of him. Already matured into a very good player but young enough to improve still. Good investment for the future and he wont be the first former rag to come to us in recent years, Cole, Hargreaves and Hughes !

No point imo in getting 4 of the best strikers in the world in, you can only keep 2 of them happy and 1 of them grumpy. A forth makes things too difficult, it needs to be someone good enough, and young or old enough to do a job if needed.

I would actually love to see one of our young lads step up to this role. There will be some games this season where they could step in and prove their worth!

Hoilett from Blackburn would be my shout. Tricky, pacy and young, looks a good prospect, certainly better than Guidetti at any rate.

Bunn, Roman or Suarez, whatever some not bad offensive player from EDS. Maybe will see next summer but I don't want a new Dzeko scenario with a striker and alienation about him not being settled/not scoring.

I reckon, and he was mentioned in the initial post, Darren Bent would be worth a punt. Pace, likes being up top on his in a 4-5-1 or in a partnership in a 4-4-2, gets the chances but the only question Mark
Is his finishing.

Bent's problem would be not playing every week - I agree with those who reckon it might be an Italian who comes in - either that or Ballotelli & Dzeko make it pointless between now & January - if we're not in Chumps League I'd bet we signed no one
