Alvarez replacement thread

[Gray]

Some low key options who could potemtially be signed on the cheap or a season loan:

El Bilal Touré
Samu Omorodion
Emmanuel Latte Lath
Ferrán Torres
Haji Wright
Sammie Szmodics
Hwang Hee-chan
Jhon Córdoba
Odsonne Édouard
Moussa Dembélé

Szmodics is a good call.

Have been thinking about this and it's a difficult one. Bobb can play as second striker, Kev could be further up the pitch. But I can't shake this nagging feeling that we need someone who can finish chances.

So, a good finisher, a workhorse, who of course is or can quickly be very positionally aware in pep's system and won't mind a bit of bench time potentially.

Gundo?

When Haaland is out we could go with KDB or Bernardo up front. But we need to get Doku to be more of a scoring threat. Same with all of the team really. They all need to be more determined up front.

................Ederson...............
Akanji ..Dias Ake ..Gvardiol
..................Rodri..................
...........Foden Grealish.........
Savio ........KDB ...........Doku

Subs from:
Ortega

I keep wondering who the English version of Joselu could be.

Thinking someone who would mostly be sub, but able to step in for 20 mins or a match here and there.

I keep thinking of Callum Wilson. Has scored a goal every other game for Newcastle. Is 32, so not much chance left for trophies. And maybe a small fee would be enough to stop them having to sell Gordon.

Sure, there are better players, but he would tick some of the boxes.

Oscar Bobb - perfect replacement

I will say it again in the words of Ederson, Oscar Bobby.

or Bobb the builder

Oscar Bobb - perfect replacement

Pep won't do it. It took 3 years for foden to go from winger to midfield. Bobb has been put on the right wing he's going to stay on the right wing, he won't be moved to striker or midfield until pep is comfortable with him there.

So we need a back up striker.

Remember when Kev played as a false nine against Wolves. That's the answer, City will wait and use the money wisely. We nearly always do. There will be no panic buys.

To be fair Doku didn’t scored too many but in the league he got 13 goals/assists in the equivalent of 17 games last season, pretty good for first season under Pep

Mitrovic?
