Impulse? Who is in favor of an “impulse” buy? Certainly not me!Worst case, Aguero gets injured in the next month then Sterling plays up top. Jesus is back relatively soon so making an impulse buy in January doesn't make too much sense

Interesting but can’t see that happening unless Kun leaves.
We need to buy DM, CB, LB also. All will be expensive as well.

Sadly as much as I love Aguero I think he will leave. He probably would've left last summer if we got Mbappe :/

Need someone who fits the profile too, someone who will want to learn, don't need a big ego or superstar name really. Pep will probably pull a left field name out I'd expect...

Wide forward hmmmmm....
Who would you rather have: Mahrez vs Di Maria?

Think so too mate.
He is going to be hard to replace. Don’t see us getting Kane and Icardi is a great striker but a shit person so don’t want him here.
Mbappe would of been top but that ship has sailed for now.
All good strikers right now are 28+, will cost silly money and will need to be replaced again soon.
I do like Fekir, not sure how he would do in the #9 role though.

Would be great if we can get Fred signed and coming in the summer. Might get a CB but don’t see a LB coming in. Anyway for me JFE is not the answer at CB. Not going to be happy if we sign him.

Yh, theres a number of names that would be great but not all of them would fit the bill here.
Got a feeling Pep will pull another wildcard out, bit like Jesus and Sane but then also a Griezmann or Dybala type.
Fekir is interesting. His pace maybe an issue with him in that F9 role, I love how he plays and drifts past people, will be good to see how he does on Sunday v PSG but i'm surprised we haven't been linked with him before, he has added a lot of goals to his game from behind the St or when he has played up top.

Not surprising, Pep never uses 10's, he either converts them into 8's or plays up front. Not sure Fekir is good enough to be ST/false 9, it's much easier to support main striker. Same applies to Dybala.Yh, theres a number of names that would be great but not all of them would fit the bill here.

Yh, think the only one who would just come in and play that role perfect is Griezmann, Fekir just is exciting to watch, maybe being bias towards him, you think Pep will convert B SIlva to a more 8 role as you said?

I'm sure Bernardo was initially bought to play as 8, he's not a good winger, played as a wide playmaker in Monaco's 4222.

It's difficult to find anyone better than Griezmann for this system. I would take Mbappe, Dembele, Martial over him, but they're not gettable, sadly.

Get the feeling he will be better suited when D Silva isn't playing to play alongside KDB and Dinho in that midfield. Gundo seems to be taking up that role when Silva would maybe perform better.

Non.Giroud in this window. It will give us a different option.
