I say "Forward, my friends! Forward!"
With the news today that Manchester City have signed star Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz for 30M, I started thinking about the wealth of attacking options at the club.
The club literally has ten (yes, ten!) strikers on the first team. In a traditional 4-4-2 lineup, that would leave eight awfully unhappy men sitting on the bench.

According to Chris Flanagan at the Lancashire Telegraph, Blackburn are checking to see if Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari is available.

It is also reported that Blackburn plan on extending the trial for striker Christian Vieri.

Com a ânsia de conquistar títulos, o sheik Khaldoon Al Mubarak, presidente do Manchester City não olha a meios para reforçar o plantel s ordens de Mark Hughes. Após ter assegurado o concurso de Roque Santa Cruz e de Carlos Tévez, Emmanuel Adebayor é o senhor que se segue por cerca de 29 milhões de euros.

The Zimbabwe international was sold to City during the 2008 January transfer window for a figure quoted as £9 million, with £4 million of that to be paid up front and the remainder spread over the length of the player's contract.

However, Portsmouth, who are fighting for their Premier League survival, are believed to be willing to take less than the full amount should City settle before the end of the season, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Skysports.com understands Bolton are lining up a January raid on Manchester City for striker Benjani Mwaruwari.

Bolton are desperate to add to their attacking options when the transfer window reopens in the New Year and have earmarked Benjani as the player to fire them to safety.
