Any of the Girona boys be recalled
The Knack did a song about them.
He is about where Sane was when we got Sane. By season's end he should be ready for the next step. I think he is a better prospect than Neves who is currently dominating the league.Without any doubt Kluivert would be an amazing signing!
Although development wise he might benefit from another year at Ajax

Werner would be an ideal replacement for Agüero should he leave. Werner, Dybala, Firmino would be my choices to replace him. I'd also take Icardi, Dolberg or Luan.We should be after Timo Werner. Haven't seen a clean young finisher like him in a long time.
Hopefully Sanchez joins and Agüero stays for at least the next year or 2 and there's no need.
So every good young striker then :)Werner would be an ideal replacement for Agüero should he leave. Werner, Dybala, Firmino would be my choices to replace him. I'd also take Icardi, Dolberg or Luan.

Well kinda, yeah. I mean he needs to take Agüero's mantle so he's got to be good, VERY good so that goes without mentioning.So every good young striker then :)
I picked those 3 in particular as I think they'd be perfect focal points of attack. Excellent interplay and ball control. The first three are ready made replacements, while Dolberg/Luan would be a gamble. Icardi is a brilliant footballer but may be a risk as he's not the perfect profile/skill set.

TBH I think there is a very small pool of top class Centre forwards (World class strikers) which would meet our criteria or any top European side that could be prised from their clubs.
Timo Werner would be of a lot of interest to many top clubs. Any indication he is available from RB Leipzig expect a high price bidding war. I also like Jean- Kevin Augustin french player who signed also for RB last summer. Augustin is a natural goal scorer and played in the same french national youth teams with Mbappe. Both are young.
I think we should go for Griezmann, at 26 still relatively young and would be a first XI starter and I don't think he would be a gamble.
To throw a curve ball in I would personally consider as a 3rd choice striker Daniel Sturridge. In the summer he will only have 1 year left on his contract with Liverpool and he is Club trained for City so will add to the squad without losing a place to another player.
If we get Sanchez not sure if Pep intends to play him centrally or wide.

If we sign Sanchez & it's true what Pep says; that Aguero can stay for several more years, imo it's going to be difficult to persuade a young striker to sign next season, unless we show clearly, that Sanchez will often play deeper.
In this case, we should also be trying to tie down deals the next Jesus, maybe more than one, from under the radar, so we can pick them up for reasonable money, when Utd bid 400 mil for Harry Kane in a couple of years.

i.e. Sturridge*
I think you will be in the majority of fans views. But one would hope that he still believes he has something to prove and wants to win trophies and he does not fit into Liverpool's plans. Has a very good relationship with Sterling off the pitch.

Kane would be perfect. I didn't think he could be, but he could spark to another level with our players.

I think Spurs will insist on him being there for one season in the new ground, then somebody will offer twice or three times what he is actually worth, thus ruling us out of the equation.

I think Kane will insist on that.
Kane's been pretty forthright with his desire to stay at Spurs if they challenge for trophies. I can't see him packing it in before Pcohettino goes, at which point the false dawn ends, and I can't see that happening until at least 2019 because of the stadium.
IMO The most likely scenario is Pochettino goes to Real and signs Kane for stupid money to replace Ronaldo around 2020. At that point he's 27/28 and moves on to win some trophies.

They seem to be getting further away from challenging. They had a season when everyone was shite, & lost out to Leicester instead.
But I'm sure he'll give it another season, whatever. I can't imagine they won't be even further away next season though, unless they get a big boost by being in the new ground.
Still even then though, they are shit away from home.

Sturridge. I simply dont rate him and I believe he thinks he is a lot better than he actually is.i.e. Sturridge*

If Arsenal play hardball and don't take the money for Alexis, could we possibly take David Villa on a short term loan a la Thierry Henry/Landon Donovan until Jesus returns from injury... or just until the beginning of the MLS season. As part of the deal they could take Lukas Nmecha for the whole season.

If Barca think that Coutinho is worth that, Real might think 'Arry is worth a bob or two more! We seem to be operating a ceiling on transfer fees, quite a high ceiling but gone are the days of chasing Crocky and paying what a club ridiculously asks for!

If we do it right we can sign the best young players before they become stupidly expensive & top players who are close to being out of contract (if we tap them up in advance) .
