Hi Michael from Sydney Australia

There seem to be arguments for and against RVP. From the latest media reports his Mum doesn't want him going anywhere, so lets assume for the moment that he stays in London. There seems to be a lot of support for Bale, and I take the point from Daxman a few posts earlier about Bale's ability to cross the ball. My question is this - who does Bale cross the ball too? If we don't have Djeko on the park then there is no tall presence out there other than from set pieces. On his good days Djeko is very very good and on his off days he is the opposite.

My solution (and I suspect it may be unpopular given some of the comments on the forum) would be to send Tevez to Milan and take Ibrahimovic in return. If it meant also tossing in a Kolarov as well plus a few more Euros then I would do it.

Ibrahimovic seems to have his detractors. However I believe that the boss rates him very highly. I believe we need a tall reliable presence up front for the crosses. By the way I thought Giroud the French striker seemed to be very good in the air and a cheaper option than Ibrahimovic.

falcao every single second of every day of the week. he isnt the tallest, but he's absolutely immense in the air

Agreed :) falcao is amazing!

No team is coughing up £50 odd million for Falcao, forget it.

Dzeko has agreed to go to Bayern is all over the German news.

IF that's true then surely RVP is on his way.

Aguero, Tevez, RVP, Balotelli

I'd tip Tevez to go, too.

You don't buy the Player of the Year to rotate him. You don't rotate our love Aguero. Balotelli good or bad will always play a lot under Mancini. Tevez will not sit on the bench and be happy as 4th striker.

Tevez started all the vital end of season games - even when not 100% fit

I know he did.
And yet Mancini still wants a new striker. An RVP or a Cavani doesn't replace Dzeko's spot on the bench.
