Even though he was signed by SGE,he seems well suited to Hughes'system. Not only do I see him as need cover for Robinho, he is more than capable of pushing him hard for the left wing spot especially for away matches against more physical sides (i.e. Stoke, Bolton, etc).<br /><br />As Columnist Wallace Poulter has pointed out, should Hughes opt for 4-2-3-1 Petrov would be the ideal candidate for the left wing with Robinho moving to attacking midfield.<br /><br />Moreover I'm sure he will get the starting nod for the left wing position for Carling Cup and FA cup matches. His direct running and crossing also make him an excellent 2nd half sub to run at tiring defenders and to exploit spaces behind the opposition on the counter attack. His goal at Barca was a perfect example of this.<br /><br />Of all the players from the SGE era, I certainly believe both Petrov and Bojinov have a future at City as both combine guile and work ethic with no small amount of skill. They are both determined competitors who bring a lot to the table.pjdemershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257292532463846582noreply@blogger.com
