Nf6 is the main move i found in mega database 2005, played 7 of 10 games all players at least 2500 rating. by the way, it seems black is slightly better already, the score of those 10 games in my database is 6.5/10 for black with no losses.

It will transpose.

Nf6 and then Nc6 or Nc6 followed by Nf6 same stuff. This is probably the line CM is going into which i mentioned before.

1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.e3

Nf6 or Nc6, anything will do, bring one of the knights in there! If I were asked to choose between the 2, I would go for Nc6.
