We have loads of forwards on the books but its been the case for years at city and as usual most of them are shit. But the club have already stated there will be another big clear out this summer.
Vassell - out of contract - already confirmed he will be released
Jo - loan or possibly sold / exchanged for Lescott
Caicedo - West Ham and Sporting want him and have offered decent money. Might sell if we get Tevez and eto.
Benjani - Will almost certainly be sold.
Bojinov - Always injured - will probably be sold if we sign Tevez.
Evans - Will almost certainly be sold - several premiership and championship clubs interested.
Sturridge - Refuses to sign new contract - off to Chelsea / West Ham. Fee to be decided by tribunal
So at the moment we have Bellamy and RSC as first choice forwards. If we get Tevez and and Eto we will have 4 decent forwards that can actually score goals and are good enough for a top 6 side for the first time I can remember. THe top 4 sides all have at least 3 quality forwards.
Eto & Tevez first choice. Bellend and RSC as cover / cup games etc.
If we dont get Tevez I can see us going for Owen as a short term fix. But it looks like we have a very good chance of actually signing Tevez at the moment.
If we dont sign ETO we will presumably keep Caicedo and possibly Jo. Transfer activity seems well planned out this summer, I would expect at least 10 - 12 players to leave the club if we get all the new players we want. 5 or 6 first team squad players are out of contract for starters and have been told they are going....
