False 9.
Pep has proven numerous times you don't need a top striker to be successful under his tenureship. We arguably play better football in the big games with a false 9.

we scored more goals this season on the PL and 2 shy overall than last they have been replaced in Foden and Alvarez already in pure numbers.What worries the most is we are losing goal scoring players and so far, we have not replaced Gundo and Mahrez goals and assists. KdB and Alvarez being potential departures, that would be 4 goal scorers lost in 2 seasons!
Whoever replaces them, need to be high G/A players and those aren't cheap!
Although not outstanding Jesus has the better heading ability.Being offside being the biggest one.

Has Alvarez attempted a header with us? We don’t tend to cross the ball when he’s playing.Although not outstanding Jesus has the better heading ability.

Alvarez is light years ahead of Jesus when it comes to finishing. And don't throw that miss at Wembley in because that was a rarity.
But much shouting it from the rooftops thoughCome on, we all do it.
But we haven’t agreed to sell him, never mind a fee. They are tapping him up before getting any sort of agreement from usOf course we do.
Even haaland was mentioned on here as having agreed a deal months before it was announced.
There are very few occasions when a player turns down a move after a fee has been agreed. That's because the club has already spoken with the player in advance to check he fancies it.
Yes that is true, But I can imagine how much more we would have scored, if we had goal scorers on both flanks and multiple from the center of the pitch. I believe it would increased our chances favourably, in us winning the FA cup and the UCL cup!we scored more goals this season on the PL and 2 shy overall than last they have been replaced in Foden and Alvarez already in pure numbers.

caught a bit of tv in the bar last night, there were questions over Julian staying at City, no mention of where he would go though.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't be arsed either way
Neither would I.
He’s a good player and a hard worker with a cracking attitude but he’s replaceable.
