Strikers?

Like some has suggested already, it would be interesting to see how Mackie can do it as a striker.

I can't see that happening Shania, in my view he'll end up as a substitute for a more versatile (?) right winger.

Maybe Moses(Victor) could be that player?

OK, a striker: Roque Santa Cruz did play for Hughes. Still a City player but now on loan at Real Betis.

I have a feeling Hughes will keep Bothroyd , he seems to like him.

For the first time, I saw him run hard and agressively. On Sunday, in the last mins, he actually got his body in front of his man and nearly got into a scoring position, what a waster this guy is, has all the tools but refuses to use them, how wierd.

Absolutely! In that case our mid four would spell Tarbs-Faurlin-Diakete-Moses at home, not too bad imo. We'll also need a few good fringe players that will do when Tarbs won't make it defensively (Traore?) and when we get injuries and suspensions. Someone said Danny Murphy and why not, he could probably sort out the last 20-30 minutes just fine instead of Diakete when he's already in the book.

That´s my opinion as well.
But I think Hughes sold him when he was at Blackburn.
