Well they are third in their group with one game to go but even the two best third place teams (from three groups!) go through to the next round.

We don't need two new strikers...
Assuming Tevez, Bellamy and Adebayor leave we just need 1 striker to replace Tevez.
I think Aguero, Balotelli, Dzeko, Jo and Guidetti is enough.
I would usually agree with you but when you have Mascherano and Cambiasso behind you, two of the best defensive midfielder's in the world, I think it would be fine to play him in front of them. Plus I just think Banega is a shit player. If I were him I would go for:BlueCityfan said:blinkblue said:I know, I've been watching and they've been dire so far.

I agree that he is a shit manager but i would play banega over Pastore in his position aswell..
Pastore doesn't really suit the 3 man midfield Batista plays. Under the Lavezzi-Messi-Tevez attack.
Pastore is too attacking and doesn't suit it. Banega is much better CM than Pastore is.

You kidding me? :D He is a very good player and young aswell. Plays for Valencia and he is similiar level to David Silva.
From what I've seen from him for Valencia, Argentina and Athletico Madrid I think he is massively overrated and pretty gash, nowhere fucking near the level of Silva. Good on Football Manager but will never live up to the hype in real life in my opinion.BlueCityfan said:blinkblue said:I would usually agree with you but when you have Mascherano and Cambiasso behind you, two of the best defensive midfielder's in the world, I think it would be fine to play him in front of them.

Dzeko still needs time to adapt...and no one knows if he will
Jo is absolutely useless and should be given away
guidetti is a kid who we dont even know if he is capable of making the jump up to the first team
balotelli - genius but scarely unpredictable and cannt as yet be relied on
we need two forwards

I disagree I think that with a good run of games either Dzeko or Balotelli will have no problem at all. I think Mancini trusts them but not quite enough to be our #1 strikers, thats where Aguero comes in.
I'll be very surprised if we get more than 1 striker.
Unless the striker Mancini was talking about was a replacement for Tecez, as Bobby knew Tevez would be leaving.Neville Kneville said:Banega is a good player but he's different to Silva & not even close to being in the same class in the attacking third.

Mancini said he needed another striker as well as Tevez so if Tevez goes & we only get one, we'll clearly be a man short of what Mancini had in mind.
