Manchester City: Play Two Up Front, Choose Nastasic And Create In The Wide Areas vs Tottenham

Chelsea: Offload Ba And Make A Move For Edin Dzeko

He finished at Manchester City's top Premier League scorer last season with 14 goals despite managing just nine full games all term.  He single handedly dragged his nation Bosnia to their first World Cup in their history which will take place in the summer. He has also scored 16 goals this season, six of which have been in the league this time round, though he is probably City's third choice striker. Edin Dzeko is of course the man I refer to, and I am about to suggest why Jose Mourinho should be picking up the phone and trying to get him down to Chelsea.

Manchester City: Flog Lescott And Look To Sign Juventus Defender To Partner Kompany

Manchester City have torn apart almost everything that has stood in front of them this season, especially at home. Manuel Pellegrini's demand for attacking football, combined with the megastars that are currently on the books at the Etihad Stadium has meant that City fans have been treated with some of the best football in the Premier League this season.

They are also into the fourth round of the FA Cup after thrashing Blackburn 5-0 last night.

Mind Games: Mourinho Piles Pressure On Manchester City, But Does He Have A Point?

Jose Mourinho has been considerably well behaved since he returned to Stamford Bridge, which is unlike himself. The Special One has toned down his smug press conferences and has let his side do the talking for him on the pitch, something they have done brilliantly so far - they sit just two points behind leaders Arsenal and are in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Manchester City striker John Guidetti joined Stoke on loan for the rest of the season earlier today, presenting the young striker an opportunity to have a good run of games in England.

Why Tottenham Signing Lescott Could Be The Perfect Move

After nearly 500 games in club football, over half of which have been in the Premier League, Joleon Lescott has established himself as one of the top English centre-backs in the country. Now, though, he finds himself in the background at Manchester City and having his name thrown about by the press in regards to a move away from the Etihad. One of the clubs mentioned is Tottenham, in the Mirror anyway, and I think that it could be a match made in heaven.
