If not Torres or Ibra, then who?

[Blue Haze]

Agree with Dzeko, Bent, and Balotelli in that order. Any two of those three would be fantastic. Especially Bent, can't argue that he's proven himself in the PL.

Hell, I'd rather have Bent and Dzeko than Ibra.

Mentioned by plenty on here, Dzeko would be ideal if Ibra/Torres are out of reach. He's a real powerhouse and is a quality finisher.

 

[Salford_Blue]

Villa, Bent or Carew.

Luckily for you Bob, only one other has seen this.

Sorry pal...anyone who thinks he is the way forward needs to be named and shamed ;)

Please tell me you don't want Heskey as well!?!?!?!?!?!

The other two are crackin' options, so I won't be too harsh!!!

Will we sign another striker?

Edin Dzeko is a good goalscorer but he is rarely a scorer of great goals. He is excellent with his head in the box and has a habit of being in the right place at the right time. What he won't do is pick up the ball deep, skip past a player and smash it home, his game doesn't really consist of that.

He would be an excellent player to have if the men on the flanks are putting the ball in the box in the right area. Johnson has a great left foot and with some guidence could really become a cross specialist, on the other wing perhaps we could use an Ashley Young, another deadly crosser.

At 24 years old and 6'3, I'm sure he'll certainly fit the Mancini bill.

Darren Bent does even less outside the box than Adebayor, and pretty much the same goals/game ratio.

Play him with Tevez then

I'd have Ade over Bent
