Are we looking to sign a striker?

Could do worse than picking up Solanke on a tribunal off Chelsea, repay the Sturridge favour. All over the papers today that he wants £50k a week and some guarantee that he'll not just rejoin the Chelsea loan army, which we could offer both of. Looks as bright a young english striking talent as there's been for a while and we do have a bit of a hole in our youth set up in that position.

But £50k ? That's a shitton for a player his quality, just think what Iheanacho and Rashford would be worth then
 
Are we after a centre forward?

Better hope we are. We've lacked goals these year and last, and really far too heavily on Kun. Rewind a couple of years back and he had the likes of Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli and Negredo banging them in to help out, now he's almost on his lonesome.

A Negredo level player would be perfect for us, who can fit in Guardiola's system - just someone who's experienced with a solid record, good with the ball & interplay, strong, hard working, decent speed & agility, good finish ability and doesn't cost 50 million pounds.

Solanke is on the same level as Iheanacho & Rashford, he just hasn't been given the opportunity.

Solanke is a brilliant young striker, one of the best English U20s, and could be available on a free. Certainly something for us to keep an eye on.

This is the same Chelsea who weren't prepared to play de Bruyne & Lukaku when they were young and sold them. They're totally clueless when it comes to bringing young players into their first team.

Yes. We need someone like Negredo.

We are the league leading scorers and Negredo would never play in a 2 with Aguero under Guardiola.
 
We need a new attacking option pretty much every season imo. As Bony doesn't suit the team & Aguero is almost guaranteed to miss chunks of the season, Kelechi & Sterling are the only other players who could genuinely be described as forwards. We need to replace Bony with someone who can play at least in one of the front positions & can score goals.

If you look at the most likely transfers so far, we are replacing Yaya, who scores, with Gundongan, who doesn't & ditching Bony. Take out DeBruyne & Aguero & how many reliable goals left in all of the rest of the current senior squad put together ? Kelechi is only 19 & he is the most likely.

We need more firepower. Upfront and in midfield.

Yaya used to score. His 6 League goals aren't going to be particularly missed to be honest.

Sterling will score more, he's already shown progression from his Liverpool days, and under a decent coach he will be put in more positions to score.

KDB has settled in now, he's probably going to be a 25 goal/season player.


We could do with a player like Leroy Sané who can play across the front 3, to replace Navas and get 10-15 a season, but we've scored more goals than anyone else in the league - we aren't short of goals.
