Only with Jesus who understood the role. We tried,Foden, Grealish, Bernardo with varying degrees of success. Not sure we have the required player to play false 9 if Alvarez went. Doubt he goes anyway this summer.
Seem to remember we won the league title playing without a striker x2 and Jesus rarely started in the 9, especially 21/22.
If Alvarez does really go would it have been a good idea to hang onto Delap as insurance. Would it have killed us to see what he could do as an understudy to Haaland? Just sayin'...Also, any such Alvarez replacement would have to accept being our 2nd choice striker. In other words, it's not happening. I reckon we would just play with a false 9 again if needed.
True. It's too late for it now, though :(.If Alvarez does really go would it have been a good idea to hang onto Delap as insurance. Would it have killed us to see what he could do as an understudy to Haaland? Just sayin'...

Love to see us use the false 9 when Haaland isn’t playingWould be disappointed to lose him, but it was always going to be difficult to keep him happy as a backup to Haaland. The experiment with him playing deeper last season never really worked, and he's too good not to be starting regularly. Hope he doesn't go, but can see why Atletico would appeal to him and we would at least get a decent fee for him. Alvarez out, Olmo in wouldn't be the worst scenario in terms of squad options. Would still need a backup for Haaland though.
Foden has been proven to be more consistent than Alvarez in City's team.thats your opinion but Julian has won a lot more

It doesn't have to be Delap (you are baiting with that).If Alvarez does really go would it have been a good idea to hang onto Delap as insurance. Would it have killed us to see what he could do as an understudy to Haaland? Just sayin'...
