I feel like as soon as we broke the bank, he'd come up crocked, but Harry Kane as a focal point in this team would win the lot.
As someone has mentioned, he might not work hard enough for pep, but fuck me think of the goals....

our strikers performance yesterday was the very least thing that cost us that game.
Do you think so ? Mendys defending wasn't great but if we'd had Aubameyang and they'd had sterling we'd have won that game two nil !!
Aguero has never been a 40 goal a season striker and I don't think anyone sane would have said he wasn't ever good enough.
Sterling without the midseason dip could reasonably hit 30+. Jesus as a starting striker could hit 30+. De Bruyne and Mahrez are both good enough to hit 15-20 over a full season. Foden with game time could hit 15 over a season. Bernardo knows where the net is too. Goals really aren't an issue. If we're failing to score it's almost certainly a team issue rather than a personnel issue.
Separately though, with regards to a 40 goal a season in England there's a couple issues. Firstly there's probably only 5 or so players that could do it at any one time. Secondly Pep rotates a lot at City, so no one striker is going to build up momentum like that without being astonishingly good. Thirdly it's really difficult to know if goals in other countries translates 1-1 in England. In France they play weak sides. In Germany so many games are goalfests, and in Spain if you're an overwhelmingly better team (eg like us in 17-19 or Liverpool 18-19) then because of the fact there's no goal difference tiebreaker there's a shit load of thrashings.
The rotation point is the stickler though. Aguero has a goal/minute ratio that is usually up there with the best. Sterling and Jesus are often not too far behind.
Given the rotation and game totals our attacking problems are more depth/variety than quality. It's further back (particularly at CB) the issues need sorting more urgently with player quality.

why was it ?? goals wins games not clean sheets
In a word no.
In Pep's rotation system, you wouldn't get a striker playing enough games.
the rotation is not a problem its that we only have aguero as our main striker ? jesus is not a striker

Unproven in the PL.Haaland is the one for the future and would have resale value but unproven in the PL.
Kane or Auba would be golden boot winners for us given the amount of chances we create.
Like Kun was?

i fully fit season aguero scores 40 goals in this team easy, we have players that make spaces and the likes of KDB will find you
Unproven in the PL.

Haaland would be a good signing but its not going to happen because him and sancho are already signing for utd
