I don't understand why some are thinking we can play a whole season with just Kun and Jesus as out and out goal scorers. I keep hearing that someone can fill in, but I think we should be in a position with our squad where we don't need to use a stop-gap and hope. Unless Bony is going to stay, and I highly doubt that, we need to purchase a proven goal scorer. We have lost our two back up strikers from last season, and I understand they didn't contribute too much, but that was because they either fell out with the coach, or were seen to be below the standard we require, not that they weren't needed. It is a bloody long season, and no one has a crystal ball to say both Kun and Jesus will not get an injury, so I hope we land someone prior to the window closing.

Exactly. Couldn't agree more

Yep, we've lost a world record standard goalscorer who couldn't get i the team due to us having too many options but now those options aren't good enough.

No-one said they aren't good enough. They just aren't enough.

Aguero, Jesus and Sterling for 2 positions (3-5-2) or Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling for 3 positions (4-3-3) is not enough. Not only will we come up short after 1 or 2 injuries but the likes of Sane and Sterling will run themselves into the ground (as they did at times last season even with Nolito, Navas and Iheanacho playing many matches). 1 more versatile forward will give those players the rest-bite they need and the added goal threat when Aguero and/or Jesus are out injured.

It's 4 players in 3 spots or in 2 spots. Do you honestly think Sane can't play as a striker in a 352? Him playing LWB is only because Mendy is hurt. Bernardo Silva can also play RW in the 433 because the front 3 primarily needs 2 goal scorers. The squad has depth in attacking as is, do you realize how many fans from other clubs are confused by us purchasing more attacking options, legitimately they question how we can fit more forwards. I'd prefer youth players if we are to have beyond necessary backup options
 
Anyone who thinks we shouldn't go for Sanchez because of the players we have already hasn't got a clue about what it takes to compete in four competitions.

Pep knows we may fall short in the Champions League and even the league if we don't sign Sanchez or Mpabbe.

We never replaced Dzeko properly and we haven't won the league since. I think Kun and Jesus for the season would be a potential weakness in the side - injuries etc. Pep has shown in his comments that he agrees we need one more.
