Llorente

He's better than some people are giving him credit for I think, I just don't think we need a big target man that much, or if we want a tall striker someone a bit more agile like Cavani would be more ideal in my opinion. Llorente would hold up play better and give defenders more of a headache than Dzeko does though.

Style of play aside Dzeko still has a better goal record. I'm not sure if he's worth that price tags.

I agree with this. IF he comes in it could be to replace Tevez and/or Dzeko.LoveCity said:He's better than some people are giving him credit for I think, I just don't think we need a big target man that much, or if we want a tall striker someone a bit more agile like Cavani would be more ideal in my opinion.

Daily Fail
Manchester City are closing in on a £30million deal to sign Athletic Bilbao's Spain international striker Fernando Llorente.
Manager Roberto Mancini is ready to let Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund target Edin Dzeko leave the club, while the futures of fellow front men Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli hang in the balance.
£30m-man: Llorente (centre) is a target for Man City
As a result, Mancini is in the market for a striker and he has identified the 6ft 5in World Cup winner as his preferred choice. The Sun claim that the two clubs are deep into negotiations over a deal.
Despite a run to the Europa League semi-finals, which saw them knock out Manchester United, Bilbao are struggling in seventh place in La Liga and are looking to cash in on their prize assets.
World Cup winner: Llorente has become a regular for Spain
Llorente - who has seven goals in 20 games for Spain and is likely to feature at Euro 2012 - is a long term target of Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp. But Spurs will not be able to compete with the £200,000-a-week salary that City are prepared to offer the 27-year-old.

Can't see this somehow. Doesn't fit the way we play. Great hold-up player and target man but way too slow for this league. More likely we were looking at Martinez or Muniain.
