He's a young lad who's untested largely. No chance.
We play 1 upfront, why are 3 players too little? We have Guidetti coming back too. Real get by with 2 strikers.
Have in mind we were buying Aguero to replace Tevez. He never got sold and that's why we have 4 expensive players. Ideally your have 2-3 top ones and a fringe player like a youth graduate coming on.
Clubs slashing wages too, gone are the days of signing up a player on high wages to attract. Now its competitive wages because we offer a challenge for trophies.
I remain certain in my opinion that another will make way and then a replacement will be drafted in.
Thats not true though is it..we play with two up front which means we would only have one other striker to swap in whereas real have put ronaldo up front before. Lorente would have been a good buy for us. Two small strikers and two tall ones.
Mancini has selected Tevez for Nasri that's why. If push came to shove (its a hard life with our great squad) then he'd have to use Nasri there and Tevez upfront.
We could play Milner there and have Garcia with Barry, by doing so Tevez play upfront again. That's two options there, both utilised with international players who've already done good jobs already. Silva plays well with Milner and Tevez and Nasri have great partnership linkups.
