An anty-English opening line via the English defence!?

Conzipe, is this 5...Nc6! your idea or you see it somewhere?

I dont have the GM King's book and this 5...cxd4 6.Qxd4 Nc6 or 6...e6 is the GM Bauers' suggestion in his recent book play 1...b6!?  (I have it).  He consider 5...cxd4 slightly better than 5...Nc6!? but I think you are right here - White bishops might become very powerful after 5...cxd4 etc. so 5...Nc6!? should be better. In fact after 5...Nc6 6. d5 Nd4 7. Be3 GM Bauer consider only 7...Nf5 but not 7...e5!?, which looks stronger!   

Thx :))))))

I just looked a bit more carefully at my databases. 5...cxd4 is played a bit more frequently (and with a reasonable success by Black)  than 5...Nc6!?  However, the obtained positions are quite sharp and unclear and White should be somehow better.
