With Manchester City rumoured to be on the verge of clinching a mega-deal for Samuel Eto'o, we ask whether there is room for so many top strikers at one club?

City boss Mark Hughes has already brought in Roque Santa Cruz this summer and is thought to be close to luring Carlos Tevez to Eastlands as well.

The idea of a three-pronged strike force is certainly an interesting - and mouth-watering - one, but is it really feasible?

Tevez was unhappy with sitting on the bench at Manchester United, so we can assume he will not want to do the same at his new club across town.

Eto'o will reportedly become the highest-paid player in the Premier League if he signs for City, so again, he will not expect to sit on the sidelines.

And Hughes rates Santa Cruz very highly, having worked with him at Blackburn.

And we haven't even mentioned Robinho, whose role in the team will very much depend on who plays in front of him.

Who will miss out? Or can they indeed play all four together?

That number of top forwards may well be needed in the squad if City are to launch an assault on the Champions League spots, but how difficult will it be to keep all four egos in check?

And what about the likes of Craig Bellamy, Darius Vassell, Benjani, Valeri Bojinov, Jo, Ched Evans and Felipe Caicedo, all of whom are still currently on City's books?

What do you think?
