tolmie's hairdoo said:I think he's perfect for us, but not as the outright replacement for Carlos.
He would be great as a wide right of an attacking three, certainly has the pace and skill for it, a replacement more for missing out on Sanchez.
I also believe his mentality fits like a glove. A young guy trying to prove himself.
More importantly, he has plied his trade in a city where he plays for a historic, well-supported club, who are forced to live in the shadow of a monster.
Would love this....pace, ball retention, spontaneity, flexibility within the rest of the existing squad, AJ etc on the left, the chance to rest and rotate the left flank between Balo and Silva, also providing a slot for a fourth back-up striker.

NASRI
AGEURO DZEKO/BALOTELLI SILVA
By acquiring Aguero we could then be even more flexible on players we may swap for Tevez. As it stands clubs will assume we will be needing a striker to replace Tevez, whereas if we were to get Aguero the pressure to get a striker / front 3 player wouldnt be the same. We may need a younger player to be striker no.4 but I read Guidetti may be staying to fit that bill ?
I wonder what other positions we could do with strengthening (lets assume we do sign Nasri).........
