City is going to have a scary front line if Tevez puts pen to paper ..

I’m a bit Tevez fan and he would do well, I have my reservations about RSC. I think he is a good player but injuries last season made it a poor season for him and I’m not sure if it is going to be an ongoing problem.

p.s. the above of course completely forget about Jo, on loan at Everton since January. I think the goals he scored for Everton have lifted his stock–many City fans seemed ready to put the “bad signing” label on him when he left.

I don’t think there can be room for both him and Caicedo. at least one will have to go, in all likelihood.

just to be clear, rumours that Paul Dickov is still on the books are false. But Benjani and Vassell almost certainly are gone, and Bojinov might become available. Caicedo and Evans are almost certainly available but won’t be allowed to go for nothing.

At the moment I’d like to have Robinho, RSC, Tevez, Bellamy, Bojinov, and Caicdeo for next year. 6 forwards is not that many when you expect to play 3. You can’t turn away Eto’o however so if he comes, someone else will have to go to.

Sturridge story is a pity. He is an excellent talent, potentially a genuine star in the EPL and possibly for England–pace, skill on the ball, eye for goal. The issue with City is he wants wage parity with top line players who’ve done the business for some time already, and if City give in it will create all kinds of headaches. Sturridge did fine when he played last season but was injured too much to make a sustained impact–a shame because an opportunity was there.

Yes I’m sure the middle-tier clubs would love to take him but on those wage demands (believed to be about 80,000 pounds/week) it’s no surprise only Chelsea are seriously interested.

I’m really interested in Daniel Sturridge. His contract is about to expire and apparently he and Man City couldn’t reach an agreement. Rumour was that he was heading to Chelsea, but I’d love to see him sign for (or loaned to) a Prem team where he’d get regular first team football.

How many forwards do you have on the books, 20 or so?
