False 9

[MarsLlama]

Simple question: Who at City is capable of playing as a false 9?

My list consists of De Bruyne and Nolito. That's it. That's the list. Anyone else?

I think it will be Silva who will play there and possibly against United if Sergio does get a ban.

Silva has played that role a few times for City and more often for Spain.

I think Silva could play there, the only limiting factor is his finishing and his poor right foot.

I hate the term false 9. Tis bollox. It implies a striker who doesnt score enough goals but gets a free pass to stay in the team.

A forward that plays behind a striker and is more involved in link up play may be called a No 10 and that i get as that is a genuine position but what the F is a false No9?

Sterling, Nasri, Nolito, De Bruyne...... so many to chose from!
Though I Agree with @Gaudion M I prefer a second striker to the false 9 player.... as any of the players I name including Aguero would fit that role.
