I'm not insisting on it. I'm just saying it could potentially work. Why do you have to be so old fashioned in your approach to football? Is Ronaldo a CF? Is Rooney a true CF? Barcelona don't really play with a defined CF, and yet all 3 teams seem to do well, and bang in the goals. Jovetic and Vucinic would ooze creativity, create tons of opportunities, and I'm sure with Vucinic being deployed in a more advanced role, he'd score more goals. Moreover, we can have Matri or Pazzini coming off the bench to complement our attack, if they are needed. I feel that particularly in the CL, where teams are more technical, and the pace of the game is faster, a technical duo of Vucinic and Jovetic, and even someone like Giovinco, will cause the opponents far more problems than a traditional CF, unless we are talking about someone like Cavani or Higuain.

Jovetic has 9 goals in 20 appearances for his country, while Vucinic has 12 in 29.

Roberto Mancini says it is 'pretty unlikely' that Edin Dzeko will leave Manchester City, despite the striker's own comments regarding his future.

Dzeko has been linked with a summer exit from the Etihad Stadium after struggling to establish himself in the starting line-up in the second half of last season.

He has been mooted as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic at AC Milan, while Italian champions Juventus are also reported to be keen.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina international appeared to further fuel rumours of a departure when he confirmed his interest in playing in Serie A after City's friendly against his former club Wolfsburg on Saturday.


"I always follow the Italian league and one day I'd like to play in it," Dzeko is quoted in the Manchester Evening News. "I also know that Milan has sold two of its best players.

"For now I am a City player, but to be sure I will stay here I will have to wait until the end of the month. I'll see what happens, and if someone else comes."

However, with Mancini yet to bring in any new strikers this summer, the City boss is not expecting Dzeko to move on from the Premier League champions.

"It's pretty unlikely he will leave," Mancini told Sky Sport Italia after Dzeko had scored twice in Sunday's 4-0 friendly win over Limerick.

"He is right to say it's no fun being on the bench but when you join a big club then competition is normal."

Shitty refused Meelan's approach, loan with option to buy. They offered to pay his full salary, city on the other hand will only sell outright, and for no less an 31m euros. If we believe goal.com :D :p

Let's just see how much City is demanding when time turns towards the end of august. Not like we demand the $$ for the likes of Melo, Iaquinta and so on.
