i dont see Nico at all mate, Barca are working they're broke ass magic.Olmo doesn't have the aggression and workrate required for the false 9 role. Olmo is more like the KDB/Odegaard type, bursts of pace here and there but they can't maintain that intensity for 90 minutes. If we want a fasle 9, then Nico or Adeyemi would be ideal. A window of Savio, Olmo and Nico would be a great one. Although I can only us getting one of Olmo/Nico (looks like it's definitely going to be Olmo).
There's a lot Pep can do with the false 9 role this season, if we play Grealish from the middle, Foden can be the false 9 with Doku and Savio on either wings, if we play a more traditional formation, then Savio could play in the false 9 role, I watched some of the Copa games and it did seem like he had a free role in the team, sometimes even playing in front of Raphina.
Would be OK if they were young or 32 so would be happy with limited game timeWorst thing we could do is buy a second striker as they won’t get the game time
Get someone who is versatile across the front 3
He'd be hard to replace, I can't see many top strikers that would be willing to be 2nd option to Haaland. If we're dealing with Atletico maybe Felix would be a decent option. He's being quoted for as low as €30 mil, he's versatile in our system, and if there was anyone to get that potential out of Felix, it would be Pep.
I always thought Felix would be signed by Pep.Yeah he hasn't really improved, but i always thought he could thrive under Pep.
Felix seems to have gone downhill rapidly, was the next boy wonder now he doesn't seem to know where the goal isI always thought Felix would be signed by Pep.
Whenever I've seen him play, he seemed to perfectly fit the bill as a "Pep player".
But, recently, he seems a shadow of his former self.
Perhaps being controversial, he now reminds me of a player who actually delivers very little.
City, are currently a ruthless machine.
Felix reminds me now of the flair player who flatters to deceive.
Don't let him be a modern day Rodney Marsh...

If we going that route, the perfect player would Griezmann. He would fit in perfectly!Would be OK if they were young or 32 so would be happy with limited game time
If this moves does happen, it shows even with small squad you can't keep everyone happy. Imagine with bigger squad like most fans wanted around there, it will be much more difficult to manage their playing time and happiness.
Even a great manager like Pep can't do something about it and why some people need to understand his preference of small squads.
