[James McJohn]

there should be no one else on the list until every possible avenue to get M'Bappe is exhausted

Pep's been alerted.

Martinelli at Arsenal might be worth keeping an eye on. Got another 2 so far tonight.

Not seen enough of him, but I agree it makes sense to first look at our feeder clubs.

Presumably we were well aware of this lad when he was in Brazil so I would love to have had access to the reports on him as to why we didn't go for it. Was a cheap fee, we could have loaned him to Girona and it seems a good path back to City.

Maybe I will give the scousers a ring, see if they still have a login for the scouting website.

No chance for me. You have to look at the tallies every season to see just how crucial Aguero and his goals are.

We'll need a 30 goal a season (every season, guaranteed) striker once Kun leaves, which is what he has provided us with - I just don't see that in Jesus.

Jesus is a year younger than Kun was when we signed him and is only about 40 career goals behind where Sergio was at that point having played significantly fewer games (not to mention the injuries he’s had).

Looks fully capable of stepping up if you ask me. We should be looking at bringing another younger forward to push him on once Sergio leaves.

It might be that Pep sees Stirling as the answer up front when Kun goes. Stirling is improving dramatically as a finisher and his goals tally the last 2 seasons is up there with the best strikers

Don't confuse best statistics with best strikers.

Imo, Mbappé is more comfortable as a "wide forward" or second striker than in an Aguero/pure striker role. He is not very good playing with his back against the goal or between the defenders. He likes being in movement, having space for his pace and end up dropping deep a lot when he has to play upfront and dezoning a lot.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Werner 3 goals 3 assists today, rumoured to have a 30 mil release clause. No-brainer. Would piss Bayern off as well (who are losing 5-1).
