Very true. But when Aguero is fit. You can move Jesus to LW with Aguero up front. I think Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling + Mbappe, would be too much talent for 3 positions. You need someone who can play wide but also in the middle in the Silva/KDB position. That's my thinking anyway.

But i don't know Pep's thinking. Maybe he signs another pure winger to cover Sane/Sterling....while ditching Navas and Nolito.
That's what I was thinking.

However someone like Julian Brandt might be the best hybrid option. Can play AM and Wing easily.

Dont forget zinchenko. He plays on the wing and as a central attacker.
 
One thing that impressed me about him was his aggresiveness with the ball. Same skillset as Sane but more aggresive. Although Sane's aggresiveness has been building up game after game. And Sane is much more mature from a tactical standpoint.
 
We also have Roberts to come back in the summer.
Not the same level of wing talent required. Mbappe brings that breakneck speed and that makes all the difference. Roberts has good dribbling skill, but the speed to be an influential scorer and stretcher of teams. Just isn't there. Same with Zichenko who is more Silva than Sterling.

With Mbappe, that probably gets us 3 guys who can run the 100 meters in 10 seconds or less. That's the kinda speed that kills when you have accurate passers like Silva, Debryune and Gundogan behind them
 
Very skilful & rapid. Would add to our forward line.

Just a slight concern that we need to keep spaces for youngsters such as Sancho to get a chance not forgetting Moreno & Roberts out on loan.

This summer maybe too soon for Monaco to agree to sell him.
 
Got it right again didn't they? :)

Yep haha and I would genuinely sign Gabriel Jesus every time and score 30+ goals a season with him. I originally signed him because of his name years ago when he was just 16, turned out he was amazing and signed for City!
 
Brahim is surely ready for a place in the squad next season. He's been consistently brilliant for over a year. He would offer more than navas offers now. Even sancho would.
Brahim & Diaz won't be involved for at least 18 month they may get a look in next years League Cup but until Merlin has gone & Diaz has proven himself in a good league then time is on his side, Sancho may get his chance a little quicker.
Sane, Sterling, Jesus, Mbappa & Robberts will do nicely.
Navas, Nolito & Kelechi goodnight.

I think loaning him out isn't the best of ideas. He's been brilliant for the past 18 months, he deserves a place in the squad next season, even if it's a role like Garcia has. Talents like Brahim should be thrown in the deep end instead of going out on loans.
 
I was so excited when we were close to sign Hazard and then he ended up at Chelsea.

Now I have the same excitement for Mbappe, hopefully this time he will end up signing for us.
 
Would be great, but only after a cb, lb, rb, cm and a goal keeper please. I think this would cost around 160-200m£. A combination of Roberts, Zinchenko, Sancho and Diaz to replace navas and nolito could be fine next season.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing him in a City shirt but I feel it would be unfair to sign him just because we don't want to see him at united(remember Martial was supposed to be the next Ballon d'Or winner too), we have academy players, Marlos Moreno(remember plenty of experts have been saying he was the hottest young prospect from South America in his age group moreso than even G. Jesus for some we should not give up on him), Patrick Roberts and we need to strengthen elsewhere on the pitch.

I think his power and pace for such a young age are what sets him apart, G. Jesus seems a more intelligent and technically gifted player for me.
