We can say goodbye to the title or finally winning the CL if that’s the case. We got away with it in the league this season bit can’t rely on that again. We miss too many chances.

Nonsense our title aspirations don’t depend on Kane , if not Kane we’ll get somebody else, we didn’t get away with the league, we were the best team.

The chairman said on video that Sergio will be replaced. Unless the ‘false 9 only’ nutters are calling him a liar then I think we can relax and assume they are working on something

Not a case of false 9 or a striker though is it, we’ll probably do both.
I expect a striker, but if the false 9 is Messi then it’s a different story than a false 9 relying on a midfielder to get goals.
Which way we go will depend on which players we get. What we can be sure of is Aguero will be replaced.

Fair enough but there’s no reason to think we won’t.

We will be signing a striker. And a False 9 system will also always remain an option. But just that, an option, one of many ways of playing in our armoury and not a fixed absolute as some on here continue to insist

I disagree,with the expected emergence of Torres,and the potential arrival of Grealish,that opens up fantastic alternatives and options to our attack.Hopefully Sterling also finds his form again too.

Normally I would agree.

Given that all this has possibly all already been played out last summer, and the fact he is in the middlenof a tournament, I can half see why there can be silence.

There was a circus last year. We as a club managed to stay out of it. But i'm sure messi and family don't want that again, Barcelona certainly don't want it again. And we never really want it. So who would leak anything, and why? Last year, barca leaked loads, then messi camp leaked in response via their contacts, and the whole thing was public. I can't see anyone wanting that now. It is so much easier for everyone to deflect questions as well. Laporta can say he's focused on the club economics, Messi on the tournament, and we have no need to comment.

There is argument only if there is conflict. this time there is no any conflict between barca and messi. The conflict is inside messis head only. Whether to leave barca or stay.

Just seen the KDB and Lukaku link up again……. Maybe lukaku COULD be a good option?
