Surely City will be title favourites is they sign this outrageously good forward…
Transfer guru Gianluca di Marzio claims that Manchester City will trump their rivals for the signature of AS Monaco’s Colombian superstar Falcao…
If he were to join Manuel Pellegrini’s already brilliant squad, here’s an XI the Premier League champions could put out this year.
(It’t not half bad…)
GK) Joe Hart
Hart’s rediscovered his best form, and looks imperious between the sticks.
DR) Pablo Zabaleta
The league’s best right-back has the league’s second best right-back (Bacary Sagna) backing him up!
DC) Vincent Kompany
The club captain is one of the best centre-backs in world football.
DC) Eliaquim Mangala
The £32m summer signing will hope to eventually win a place ahead of Martin Demichelis.
DL) Gael Clichy
Cichy plays in bigger matches, while the more offensive Aleksandar Kolarov is often selected when City are expected to win.
MC) Fernando
The anchorman has got the nod over fellow Brazilian Fernandinho in recent matches.
MC) Yaya Toure
The barnstorming Ivorian provides power, goals and industry in the centre.
AMR) Samir Nasri
The Frenchman drifts around the final third, linking up with his fellow midfielders thanks to his technical ability.
AML) David Silva
The best playmaker in the country, Silva can create chances from nothing, thanks to his exemplary vision.
AMC/FC) Sergio Aguero
If Falcao were to arrive, Aguero would surely play a slightly withdrawn role, behind the world-class Colombian. There would unarguably be very few better strike forces in world football.
FC) Radamel Falcao
Falcao could spearhead this side, although the likes of Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic would feel hard done by to miss out! Falcao is a brilliant ‘no.9’, and Edin Dzeko would likely back him up, with Stevan Jovetic acting as rotation for Aguero. Alvaro Negredo’s days could be numbered.
