Aguero injured

[wolviedinho]

Come on now that is just ridiculous. How can we blame players for our lack of transfer activity because they have set a bar that is difficult to fill or because they won't apparently just do the right thing and go? (which seems to be what people are asking for) We offered them renewals, don't forget that.

It is not ridiculous. As I said we treat our players properly and Sergio decides when he leaves. The problem is that we won’t be paying £100 million plus for a forward to come in and play second fiddle.

It’s not about the player, it is how the club operates. We have a tendency to keep hold of our best a little too long.

All I am saying is that the big name Sergio replacement won’t happen until he has gone. The lack of a clinical finisher is all too evident at present and always rears it’s head when Sergio is injured.

Soo good to see the man back training.

And is any good, like who for instance?

That's the big question. I would have said Cavani as he's always caused us problems but the figures the rags are supposed to be paying are eye watering.

We normally create a fair few chances even if we play badly so even an average striker should do a job.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Yep, I’m inclined to believe we have somebody lined up who can fill his huge boots but a deal can’t be done just yet for one reason or another.
That’s why we are waiting I think. It’s going to be a big one and wasting money on a short term fix makes no sense, hence the reason we are willing to go with what we have.
Could well be wrong, mind, but it’s what I’m leaning towards.

Personally I hope we're not thinking of Mbappe, who is reported to be leaving PSG next summer? He's got a bad attitude, don't trust him.

You say an average striker should do a job, but those chances we create and miss are missed by far from average players, in Sterling Jesus and including Aguero sometimes.

Great news. Here's hoping he's good for the Arsenal game. Too soon?

I know that what I meant was a striker with a reasonable rate of hitting the net in a team that doesn't create as much as we do. We're talking short term back up, not world class first choice as one wouldn't come here as back up if world class. Once Aguero and Jesus are fit it isn't too much of a problem. I still think we need a more physical alternative even when they are fit, maybe Delap will do a job.

 

[Akpowell]

The beauty of is, when he gets injured again, Jesus will be back.

It could be a blessing in disguise. Sergio has had his own pre season break. Potentially a huge advantage.

 

[Blu1]

Thank god we have a break. Please don’t rush him back

Hmmm
