David Villa wasn't a traditional centre forward and played across the front 3 from memory often on the left. Lewandowski and Aguero were both inherited and both had to adapt and force their way into his thinking. I have no idea who we want, it may be Halland but it also wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was somebody completely different either.I see where you're coming from but on the other hand he's had Lewandowski and David Villa as the tip of the spear in his teams and they were very much Centre Forwards their whole career. Likewise Aguero, although I'll accept that he's coached Sergio into being a much more rounded player than the version we were used to.
There is validity in this, but one would hope he would simply want someone up top that can convert all the missed chances he has had to reference over and over again in post-match interviews.i dont believe Pep wants him, i am very much a kfl, just do not think he likes players with a label like striker or fill-back, if it was striker/am or a fb/winger then maybe. His answer to a lack of goals is to make the mids more goal aware, vary the threat which has been a bit one-track. Time will tell
Whilst this is true, signing Haaland wouldn't do anything about the chances that Sterling, Mahrez, Bernardo, Foden, De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Cancelo are missing. It's only the Jesus misses that he'd be an upgrade on. Unless we change our playing style and undo all this season's work to have a singular focal point.There is validity in this, but one would hope he would simply want someone up top that can convert all the missed chances he has had to reference over and over again in post-match interviews.
Not if they risk losing him for 60ish mil a year later. We also have players like Braaf we could use as a makeweight, who they’d make a healthy profit on.
He signed Lewandowski and Ibrahimović in the past.Great player but imo not a Pep type player or signing.
Personally it sounds like Sane saying he loves it here and then leaving. Has he ever played a senior game for us? He’ll want game time. Agreed on the exchange part though.It's very rare that players go the other way in exchange. All recent talk from Braaf also points to him staying. I think its optimistic to think we can do a deal that cheap... but not impossible

He demanded Ibra.Maybe "the club" signed those players. But at City Pep gets more of a say.
I honestly don't think Pep would agree with this.We can’t just have a team full of good technical players that thrive in tight spaces.
Haaland is good on the ball anyway, so yeah, no issue.I honestly don't think Pep would agree with this.
However, I do think Haaland is good enough to adapt to Pep's play without too much issue.
Easily done considering this is the Haaland thread.There will never be any deals between PSG and City until one of the clubs is sold.
I know the formal relationship between the two countries are back ( Maybe thanks to Biden), but they still hate each other more than anyone could imagine.
Therefore, Forget Mbappe.
Going off recent reports, it looks like he's going Udinese. I guess that will make or break his future at city. If he shows that he can fulfill the promise that his talent has set then I guess we'll find a place in the squad for him. If not then I guess he'll leave with a buy back clause.Personally it sounds like Sane saying he loves it here and then leaving. Has he ever played a senior game for us? He’ll want game time.

Up front with Braaf soHaaland to Udinese, that is a shock.!
