Yeah, I hope Txiki left a good impression and that we can do something early on with Falcao.<br /><br />It's interesting really, a few weeks ago - and along with a lot of Blues I'm sure - I was convinced Dzeko would be the one to make way for a new, incoming striker in the summer. Now? I think the club seem very keen to keep Edin and, instead, rumours are circulating that in order to keep the foreign numbers down and/or just to make way for a new striker; it could well be Negredo who is sacrificed!<br /><br />I've got a 3rd option in mind that City just MIGHT be considering.<br /><br />As most 'top sides' like to run with 4 top strikers - and seeing as it's improbable that we'll be selling Edin or Alvaro in my eyes - if we are intent on bringing in another TOP talent such as Falcao; I'm just wondering if we'll keep all of our current strikers and will, instead, use Stevan Jovetic more as an attacking midfielder / wing option?<br /><br />Certainly he has the ability to do so; he often plays a deeper-lying role...and that would then negate the need for us to find an additional attacking/creative midfielder. One signing, two positions solved!<br /><br />Aguero, Dzeko, Negredo (Falcao / A.N. Other) AND Jovetic and a midfielder-come-substitute striker? That would sure see the end of John Guidetti's time at City.<br /><br />But we shouldn't be embarrassed at those riches; the other EDS, up & coming strikers will get their shot as they develop. Edin is 28; as is Falcao and Negredo is approaching 29. And a glance across Europe and the REALLY top teams, which is the level we're trying to reach of course, sees similar, high-quality squads.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803900087812980939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747942134037740707.post-19988098175980110932014-04-07T06:09:00.819-07:002014-04-07T06:09:00.819-07:00Good stuff, Steve.
Looks like potenially good news...Good stuff, Steve.<br />Looks like potenially good news coming out of Begiristain's trip to Europe, and, I agree, it puzzles me how Fellaini is avoiding appropriate cards at the moment.<br />He won't be able to get away with that sort of behaviour in the World Cup.Colin Is The Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597711067270848502noreply@blogger.com
