Have we got any tearing it up in our youth teams?
Braaf?? - but according to some he has a real attitude problem and he may possibly be more of a wide player - no sure really at all

You've got to get out of this mindset and accept that there isn't and never will be a Kun replacement, just like there will never be a Toure, Zaba, Kompany, Silva replacement. It's a team game and while losing an individual is tough, it's about making the team better.Replacing Kun is the single biggest problem that Txixi et al will have to face in their time at the club - they will have to "splash the cash" to get it right and there can be no scrimping and saving on this.
Jesus is a decent player but he aint a Kun replacement and never will be - he doesnt strike the fear into teams aguero always has done from the moment he stepped on the pitch in the premiership.
They will be working on it right now hopefully but out of respect to Kun i guess we wont hear much until at least next summer (2021)

We will adapt to life after Aguero, just like we will with all the others. Personally I think Jesus is a better all round player and still gets a very good amount of goals, however we've also got the option of playing without a recognised striker like we did at Old Trafford.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." - Michael JordanIm not talkign replacing like for like or having a clone of Kun (would be nice though!) ...but we need a striker that can go and win oyu a game on his own -Jesus aint that....Kun is and there will be others (Sadio Mane is one, Henry another from past years) and Im hoping our highly paid scouting personnel are on it. They are rare hence why we will need to spend big.
There are replacements for the others as well - as good as they are -
Toure, like Kun has a unique set of physical attributes that made him irreplaceable at his best and i dont think we will ever see a player be able to physically run through teams like Yaya did in his pomp
I've maintained this position and I'm comfortable in it.You've got to get out of this mindset and accept that there isn't and never will be a Kun replacement, just like there will never be a Toure, Zaba, Kompany, Silva replacement.

It's the combination of Aguero, Silva, Gundogan and Mahrez (if he plays) which obliterates our pressing game, as none of those players have the energy or intensity to press consistently and/or aggressively.I've maintained this position and I'm comfortable in it.
Me neither...Can't see any additional striker coming for the next 18 months
I'm not sold on Martinez. Would rather haver WernerImmobile is really giving our boy Lautaro Martinez the shaft when it comes to goalscoring. 23 goals and 5 assist in 19 games. That's a goal every 68 minutes which is absolutely mental. No way we'll sign him though. Will be at least 2 seasons until we sign a striker and Immobile will be 31 by then.
