City seek out a new striker

After the dismal display against FC Midtjylland, Mark Hughes is seeking out yet another quality striker to try and boost city’s poor attacking record.

Let’s face it - city haven’t had a decent striking record since the days of Anelka (or previously Shaun Goater) and with Benjani and Vassel out due to injury and Jo away at the olympics it leaves us with Bojinov who although looks promising needs to get a lot of match experience after being sidelined for the whole of last season, Sturridge who is a real promising striker but inexperianced and Caicedo who was (it seemed) absent for most of the match.

City have already made an offer for Blackburn’s Roque Santa Cruz (which Blackburn have got out of their pram about and rejected) but there is “talk” of an increased offer from City.

But you have to ask yourself - what will happen when all city’s strikers are back and fit? Who will get the starting spots?

Of course we need “strength in depth” but you also have to realise that there will be too many strikers at city!

We will have Bojinov, Jo, Benjani, Vassell, Cacedio, Sturridge and A.N. Other

Which leads be to believe that Caciedo and possibly Vassell could be on their way out of the City of Manchester - which would be a real shame for Vassell as he has played his heart out for the blue’s time and time again…
