The title might sound daft given the resources at City's disposal, but seriously do we need another striker? At the moment Dzeko is low on confidence and has yet to prove himself at the club. I know he scored 4 at WHL and a couple more at OT, however, his general play against Sunderland and LFC (apart from the pass to Toure that led to the penalty) was well below what is required. Balotelli is like the proverbial box of chocolates. Although a fans favourite you sit watching him with one eye closed wondering what he will do next; good or bad. Aguero is pretty much the finished article although I think there is a sense that he should be a tad more composed in front of goal e.g. the chance at WBA would have been put away by Tevez. Given the lack of goals from the front line over the Xmas period and with Tevez being personna non grata I think Mancini should look at drafting in another striker or at the very least promote from within the squad. Thoughts?

Another world class striker would just mean more competition for places when all four are fit that we just don't need, and would have the wrong effect on the team.
==================================•
Spot on Melton. If we are to have a 4th striker, let's promote from within. Or is there a chance to bring Nimely or Adebayor back? I would try to bring Ade back into the fold before Tevez. The dirty little golfing schnitzelbag.

Yes. So you can loan Aguero to Spurs.

£110 million worth of strikers and you need another one?

Yes because that's exactly how it works.

Return Adebayor back for Aguero.

Could we cadge Bale off you for the rest of the season as we need a bit more depth on the left.

Caveat emptor.
Current Bale has a gyro defect and keeps drifting into CM.

I think we should pull Ade back to help out. But I think we should leave it until February, we'll know by then whether we're definitely struggling or not. Gives Edin a bit of a chance to pick himself up.

Don't think you can recall from a peer league club mid-season.
And only in exceptional circumstances (think twas done for some club that had all its GKs injured) .

Ade is on a season long loan and both clubs would to agree to the deal being cancelled or curtailed. Come on Harry, do the right thing.
