Lautaro Martínez

We’re looking for Aguero’s successor rather than a ‘plan B’ though.

I wouldn’t see plan b as a bad thing, we will be looking for someone who has the pressing ability and fitness of Jesus as well as a threat on goal - very very hard to find and this guy could be an option. It’s been floated before as an idea and I think it could be possible.

And in the same way that there is NO Silva replacement there is just no replacement one for one for Sergio either.

Sure. We’d all love Lewandowski.

I’m just not sure there a many great big man strikers about at the moment.
 
On the point about it size my instinct is to agree but tbf ... Aguero is also short and didn't do too bad.

Starting to see a pattern with Argentinian players ...
 
I hope we don’t just try and find some like Sergio, As there isn’t going to be another Sergio out there. We should be looking at our style and who fits or who we could get that would change us for the better. Either way it needs to result in making up 30 goals a year. Which is a massive loss.

Martinez looks the closest to Sergio Iv seen but do we want a budget version? I’d rather us go get Haaland and just move on and accept we will never see the likes of Sergio again.
 
TyC Sports in Argentina also reported that we are preparing bid for Lautaro

Also who cares about height? Tevez, Aguero did well

Football is still played on the ground as far as I understand

It’s very sad mate and we know it’s happening sooner than we think long live the King

I thought the same, but I'm beginning to think that whilst Martinez really is quite similair in so many ways, just him being young, very fit and a true workhorse is worth considering. I think he might have a bit of the Tevez never-stop hassling thing in him. He's also been compared to Radomir Falcao, because he is extremely accomplished in the air, despite his short stature. If there is a concern, it might be that he's not that quick. But it's a good time for him to move, he's not kicked on that much over the last year, but has another step up in him.

TBH, I have more confidence in us going for him than all the other rumours put together.

He does seem like the profile of player that we would sign.

Interesting to compare his stats to Sergio's - appearances (goals)

Sergio before City
2003–2006 Independiente 54 (23)
2006–2011 Atlético Madrid 175 (74)

Lautaro
015–2018 Racing Club 48 (22)
2018– Inter Milan 71 (25)

From the above his goal scoring looks similarish to Kun's at the same stage of his career. Worthy of consideration as a replacement.
 
I really like Martinez, posted this a while back;

Linked with Martinez again this morning, I think he is the best replacement for Aguero. I think Martinez and Jesus would be really good together. They are hard workers, run the channels, shown good examples of link up play and selfishness at times to score goals. Under 100m I believe for his buy out. Worth it.

He plays a backup role to Lukaku for Inter so his goal scoring record isn't as high as it could be. I am convinced that with better service he has goals in him.
 
i do like Argentinian strikers they have a winning streak , fear no one , love scoring goals and work their socks off , Tevez and Aguero have been brilliant for us , quite sure Pep could improve this lad to be another world class striker

May i introduce you to Icardi ?

He fits the bill : argentinian, striker, doesn't fear his former Inter supporter, great scoring record in Serie A. Bonus : he has a lovely wife.

Send 50 M towards PSG and he is yours. Pretty cheap, right ?

I take it he hasn't been all that great?

Hmmm.

In the five minutes he played this year, he maybe touched the ball once. Difficult to give an accurate answer.

Furthermore, he was out of shape during the Final 8 in August and Choupo-Moting played ahead of him.

I would actually be glad to say he has been bad as it would mean he was actually playing.
