Manchester City turn their attention towards Robert Lewandowski after letting Carlos Tevez leave for Juventus

According to reports, Manchester City are set to replace the departed Carlos Tevez by offering Edin Dzeko to Borussia Dortmund in a player plus cash deal for striker Robert Lewandowski.
The striker is in the final year of his contract and Dortmund stand to lose him for nothing if he doesn’t sign a contract extension soon, so City will look to capitalize on this fact. Earlier in the summer, Lewandowski looked set to join Bayern Munich, following teammate Mario Gotze, but since then the Champions League runners-up have categorically stated that the player will not move to Bayern and will remain at the club.
THT Verdict: Man City are clearly in the market for another striker, going by the sale of Tevez and their interest in Edinson Cavani. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis was quoted a few days back that City weren’t ready to meet Cavani’s boutout clause of €63m, so their interest in Lewandowski makes sense. Contrary to what they’d maintained, if Dortmund are indeed ready to listen to offers, they will ideally put their player on the market and invite bids from the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea, the other clubs also on a lookout for a world-class striker. Gonzalo Higuan will leave Madrid in all likelihood, so the Spanish giants are expected to sign one of Cavani, Suarez or Lewandowski.

This is dumb. After selling Dzeko and Balotelli, why would we sell another striker?

When did we sell Dzeko?

Dzeko out and Lewandowski and Villa in would make me a happy k...chap.

Dzeko out and Lewandowski in would be a great deal for us. However I think he really wants a move from Dortmund to Bayern and he is prepared to wait a year for that to happen.

Would also like to see Jackson Martinez from Porto but depends on how many forwards Pellegrini wants.

Be good and important to see Guidetti play but I hear he is injured again. Is that right? Maybe another loan for the 21 year old? Would be good if he went to a Premier League club. Someone like Swansea or WBA.

Replace him as a #10 or as a target man ?

Who says we need to even play with a striker haha? Spain either play with a DEF-MIDDY up front or that bum Torres, and Spain seem to do just fine.

The article presumes Dzeko would go in a move for Lewandowski

Gomez is not a bad option the price is ok so why not. The source isn't reliable though.

So Kia J is Herbert's source? He named the same targets on talkSPORT but said he'd read the rumours in newspapers. Gomez and Negredo would be my shortlist from that shortlist.
