Spicy Pepe and striker links by the dozen.

With City being linked yet again with a move for Real Madrid’s, Portuguese central defender Pepe, I have to ask, do we really need this nutter?

Clearly a quality defender – having played 138 games for the Spanish giants and having 51 international caps – but how much time would he actually spend on the pitch in the Premier League and how much would he spend in the stands; serving suspension after suspension after suspension.

This well-documented & circulated video is a ‘must see’ for those who haven’t already and are excited about being linked with the player.

 

30-years of age for a ‘nut job’ whose career is (cayenne) peppered with horror incidents? Doesn’t sound like a policy the new regime at City would (or should) adopt…

Can you play as a striker?

If the answer to that question is yes - and if you haven’t been linked with City in the last week or so in particular - then keep an eye out for your name in the press…

In the last week alone, City have been linked with Steven Jovetic, Diego da Silva Costa, Alvaro Negredo, Robert Lewandowski, David Villa, Wayne Rooney, Christian Benteke, Mario Gomez, Fred and Oscar Cardozo. Add to previously linked Edison Cavani and Stephen El Shaarawy and that’s some list.

Oddly enough - and I might be in the minority of City fans here - one striker that I’d like who we HAVEN’T been linked with (but Arsenal have) is Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuaín…although we were linked with him a while back during Roberto Mancini’s tenure.




I mean, just look at the fun he & Chappy would have…
