Yeah I do think we're in heavy for Haaland, it's just after him the backup options (Kane or Lukaku) seem very difficult to get, and then after those two the quality drop off is too great in all the other available goal scorers and I don't think it's in the club's MO to sign a guy for the sake of filling in a position.

Except that isn’t true. After yesterday’s news, you can count on the club signing AT LEAST ONE striker. Even if we have a list of ten names and they all don’t work out, we would still have to find another name and bring in. You can’t have one striker in your squad, that “striker” being Jesus lmao. A position has to be filled even if it’s by... Danny Ings lol. However, if it were up to me, I would sign two strikers, just as last summer I was saying we should be signing one

And don't forget Messi and a left back -)

The Messi situation isn’t in the to-do list. It’s more like “if the opportunity presents itself, we will make a move”, but if it doesn’t, we carry on with the plans the same way. And yes, the left back too — another one that should have gotten done last summer hehe

Jesus, this fetishizing of the false 9 again... “Jesus or false 9” isn’t a strategy lol. Please stop.

also, it’s not Haaland OR Grealish, it’s both

Even Everton’s manager grasped the fact quicker than some of our own fans that false 9 is just one of many options and effective ways of playing City have in our locker, rather than being the norm

We could sign Messi on a free and play him false 9.

If Dortmund and Spurs both hold out for £150m then that is a much more likely option imo.

And you would sell Jesus and bring in two strikers, why? Or do you want 3 players for one position?

Yes. I would like to recommend some people books and articles on “total football” and how strikers are crucial in that theory lol

Would one of those strikers have a perfect body like Lukaku??

There’s only so many times a day I can reply to this craziness about false nines, I’m sorry. 34 year old Messi being played as a false 9 in some games has no effect in the striker. There is no chance in hell that Pep would bring in a player to “fill in a false 9 position” without a proper striker therefore announcing to the world and making your game wildly predictable. He may be a crazy genius but he isn’t crazy stupid

Yeah 3 strikers for a 1 striker team seems a waste. We only need the one striker on top of what we have really.
