That would make more sense to me seeing as we'll need a quality striker soon anyway but I don't know if we're going to have the funds for one of those this summer.
Plus Sterling, Mahrez and Bernardo aren't exactly injury prone so it will be similar to when we only had Sterling, Sane and Bernardo.
This is definitely the summer to push for a new striker to take over from Aguero.
With FFP having been ‘relaxed’, allowing us to spread our spending over 2 seasons, and our relative strength this summer in comparison to many of our competitors due to the Silverlake cash - not to mention our model being far less reliant on match day income than most - we won’t be better placed to get the right player in for the right price at any point over the next couple of years, at least.
Plus if Aguero starts to drop a little this season, clubs will know we’re desperate and will fuck us with the fees next year.
We need to make our position of strength count this summer, and get the guy in who’s going to ease the inevitable loss of Kun’s goals - which is coming, whether we like it or not.
And I think the Club knows where we stand, so I’d expect us to box this one off before next season starts.
