  IF Sven-Goran Eriksson cannot persuade Liverpool to part with Peter Crouch, then he is ready to move for Serbian look-a-like Nikola Zigic.
  
  The 6ft 8ins international performed well in La Liga last season, proving tough and durable and scoring a dozen times for Racing Santander.
  
  And, at a cost of £8m, the lanky striker would cost only half that wanted by Rafa Benitez for England ace Crouch.
  
  Despite a regular flow of goals in this season's warm-up matches against lesser lights, Eriksson is determined to bring in more firepower and wants at least one, and possibly two, more forwards.
  
  The City chief has not yet entirely given up on Boro's £12m man Yakubu, although the signs are that Gareth Southgate is not in the mood to sell.

  Man City on a mad spending spree. I guess it's bye bye Samaras.
  
  Cheers.
