A Shiny New Centre Forward

Felix the Cat

: - )

Think Felix is headed to A. Madrid. As my Muslim friend said, "Fine, jao, Joao"

;)

Rashford? Unhappy at the Rags, proven goal scorer, World Cup semi finalist, used to winning trophies. We'd pay his wage demands as we pay well over the odds for our own English players. He'd also replace Aguero without missing a step, I'd actually say he could replace him now, he's at that level already and still young.

As Malcolm Allinson once said with cigar in hand "Do me a favour"

I'll give it a go, but I can't do Monday nights or every other Wednesday.

We don't need another Pogba

Just looked at Soccerbase?

Jesus bought Summer 2016 so in 3 seasons, 35 league games (27 goals)
Aguero - Summer 2011 8 seasons, 210 league games (164 goals)

Not sure about last season, just appears that Aguero always missed a chunk of each season he's been here and Jesus has had a couple of bad ones injury wise.

No back up but Pep must be looking surely?

Fyi,
on an equivalent pace Jesus would have 162 goals after 210 games to Sergio's 164, but i'm positive Jesus's minutes per game are less, and he is only 23 yrs old.
It's always a big if, but i expect Jesus will have better numbers than Aguero when all is said and done. "IF" he stays long and stays healthy.
and that's saying something as I am a fervent Sergio fan.

edit: Based on i guess 35 starts as he has 68 league appearances.
and Aguero has 239 appearances.

Yep the club will be forward planning. Aguero has missed games in the past and the fact it seems to take him a few games to get back his game sharpness makes it worse. I wouldn't call either of them injury prone though mate. A lot of Jesus lack of games is because he cannot force Aguero out of the picture.

True all that,
and a good indication of Gabriel's potential are his cup results.
FA Cup 5 goals in 6 games
League Cup 5 goals in 9 games
Champs. League 8 goals in 15 games
18/30
A rather nice return.

agreed, like i think Sir Winston Churchill said "Fuck'en 'ell, NO!"

We have a top drawer but injury prone pair, in Aguero and Jesus.
Outside these, he has a go with Raheem up top, but he's no centre forward.
I believe we need a back up.
There doesn't appear to be anyone in the reserves looking like making the shift up to a truly specialist position, so Who's available?
He would have to accept playing second fiddle to the above pair, so probably somebody very young, like Felix at Benfica, although rumours that Atletico have him, or perhaps a Cavani?

Totally disagree..KUN is a little warrior. He gets kicked shitless any in jury's are usually impact hardly his fault.
Jesus has had one bad knee as far as I can recall but apart from that not really much else.
Won't even embarrass you by defending RAZ. Did we score 160 goals in all comes last year? More than anyone since time began.....
