One of my favourite players to have never played for us. Currently a free-agent after being released by Juventus. Anyone else think he would be a great person to have around, as a player-coach? Still got some ability and while he is never going to start a big game for us could do a job in the cups and he would also be a good teacher for Aguero and Balotelli.

Great player but too old. He would be expensive to get and we should invest in youth in my opinion.

Would love him at City, Mancini would probably like him as well. We simply aren't going to pay what Montreal Maltesers or whatever they are called will nor the teams in UAE etc.

One of my favourites too! Unfortunately, I don't feel he'd have much of an impact at City, even in training. However, I wouldn't think twice about signing other free agents like Seedorf on a one year contract. In terms of teaching Strikers, Mancini is just as good ;)

Exactly what we need - another striker, we should go for him. I understand why you made this topic

I would want us to sign him primarily as a coach rather than someone to compete for a place with Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko and Balotelli. He was a great player and his expertise can certainly do no harm to someone like Balotelli.

Would you not rather have a youth player doing what you just described? Playing in cup games and not big games ie. Guidetti.

No because Guidetti would benefit more from playing week in week out at a smaller side in the Premier League than just sitting on the bench and only playing in cup games for us.

Would you take just cup games after a full season of first team football? I wouldn't. Would be best for all parties if Guidetti got another season on loan, somewhere in the premier league. I'd rather give Hiwula cup games as well as reserve team football if anyone, if Bunn is not around.

He will be looking for a 200k a week contract now, although I heard he wants to experiment with the Premier League.
