i think city should be looking at other options as well as haaland and bringing another striker or delap given first team football. its a gamble if we miss out on haaland and we can not go into the new season without a top class striker

pep will know what he wants and the system he will play next season because we have to mix it up every season
there is options for strikers in this city squad and with jesus sterling and the false 9 but as a main striker when aguero goes its a hole that can not be paper over again

so let talk strikers
haaland mbappe felix griezmann

anyone of them 4 would fit into pep and city squad ? yes the big 2 should be the main option and the other one is felix. the outsider would be griezmann and his age is a question mark. but if aguero is going to partner messi at barca then griezmann will be off in a flash and we could get him on the cheap

forget danny inngs his injuries are worst than aguero ? also forget Kane he is injury prone and one good knock on the ankle and he's out for 6 to 8 weeks

now for the eyebrow raise ? mo salah >>>>> i know i know get me coats

Rather have Lee Bradbury back then that **** salah

 

[Shads]

Hopefully he’s just trying to curb the reports we’ll only get players because we’re paying more than everyone else?
Fuck me, if we don’t get another striker...

I know because we have been really awful this year without one and scored the fewest goals in the league...

The fact he’s got ‘coats’ on, plural, in this weather, suggests old age (:

Think the spanish guys were a bit naive to announce that Aguero was leaving at the end of the season, when we are just about to get into the nitty gritty of trying to get has much silverware has possible .
Now the prices of all players linked will go up daft & pg will be asked every interview going about certain players we may go for , will be tiresome, brought this on themselves ,do they not know by now how the press work with their gutter dross in the uk ?

Do you really think these 'Spanish guys' who have over the years negotiated numerous multi million pound deals just sudddenly woke up one day and thought we've not got much on today may as well announce Aguero is off? It was clearly done for a reason, we don't know as yet what that reason is but it's clearly either due to the Aguero camp wanting to move things along as they have plans or the city camp cos they have plans and in due course I'm sure all will become clear.

But at the end of the day. How cheaply they actually expect to sign top striker?

If they expect one for £65m. we will be buying stop gaps for a while.

I‘m a KFA but if we time things properly and slap £85/90m on the table, with £350pw... for Haarland I very much doubt anyone would match that this summer and Dortmund may consider it better to grab the money rather than wait IF the player wants to take the offer.

I dont get this and everyone thinking this way.

Are you saying you’d rather the club played with sergio and kept him on the hook until we seal a replacement and then toss him away?
Risking a leak in and around a crucial game.

Or, if not play with him, say thanks for everything sergio but ask him to keep his mouth shut so we can replace him on the quiet knowing he was no longer part of our plans?

He deserves better. And we’ve treated him with respect and professionalism.

Expecting to sign a player like haaland without a circus surrounding it is also naive.

Maybe i am being a bit harsh & over reacting towards the span guys, just don't want anything getting in the way of winning has many trophys has possible .I mean't keep it quiet for the dortmund cup games more than anything , has it will be all about haaland v potential suitors with the media & shit stirring ,the rest will be sorted out one way or the other during the summer.

That disruption is more likely to affect Dortmund than us though?

just watched the pep pre-match interview and all the talk of not city and pep signing a striker in the summer

1st thing is why would pep say we are going to sign a striker when we are in all the competitions and upsetting sterling or jesus and others play that role in the squad the last thing you want is players downing tools

2nd why would pep say we want this player or that player when they are still under contract its not pep's way
plus it opens a bidding war and never show your hand to early

but pep face says a thousand words you can see its a controlled answer and then looks away
you can take it as gold. but its with that look you see with pep when its a controlled reply you know something is ticking away in his head. we are short in numbers up front and you are fool if you can not see it. plus now aguero come out and said ok am off in the summer ? you think the world best manager thinks city can get by with just adding delap then april fool to you

if one of the best strikers in the world is up for sale you think city and pep will not be in the que ? why let him go to a rival when you need him yourself. also haaland is a city fan and it would be his dream move

i would hate to play pep at cards because i bet he is a master at cards as well. he knows what he is doing he's sitting on a pair of ace's but wants you thinking its a pair of 2's and bluffing

It's great isn't it

Shame we've got that pesky quadruple going on. Bleedin' irritating distraction from the transfer forum
