It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

If we don't get Kane I'd honestly give Torres a run. Just Chuck him in at the deep end and see how he does

Personally i think this could be his season.

Shows what bollocks stats are then! Shearer was a better striker than any of them, probably better than any striker around to this day.

The point was someone said Jesus isn’t a striker, when he clearly is

Step away from the stats and use your eyes.

Objective data points versus subjective bias. Nah I’m good cheers

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Sign a fkin striker will you!

 

[Damanino]

Put any forward in middle of our front three who HAS the killer instinct front of the goal and he will score plenty.
Sterling, Jesus does not have it tho, I dont prefer them ending up on the end of most of the attacks.

Pep in his whole career had the likes of Villa, Eto,Messi, Ibra, Lewandowski, Muller type of guys who all had above average killer instinct front of goal. Time to sign one for him at City given Aguero effectively was finished for City in 2020 summer.

Just can't see any of our false nine strikers scoring goals on a consistent basis, Sterling or Torres no way. That means our attacking mids will have to try and do it all again. A striker has to arrive this window

Yep, ignore the facts and get stuck into the personal & subjective - it’s winner every time ;-)

Jesus needs to lead our line until we eventually sign somebody. He knows what to do as it’s his natural position and works his arse off taking a lot of stick off centre halves along the way.
This is the total opposite to the Torres argument.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Whilst I do like Jesus as a player, at this stage of his career after us losing Aguero, if he’s not ready to lead the line then when?

You can’t possibly think that Jesus or Diego Costa are better strikers than Alan Shearer was?
