Ha. Just mean with Kun missing games each season, are we better looking to the future or hoping that Aguero will get past his injuries that seemed to have dogged him each season?

Sign Messi and rotate. :)

Lukaku reminds me of Džeko. Good goalscorer but won't fit with the way we want to play and we'll only see the best of him when we know he's in the lineup for a few games and adapt.
 
Great player, in the right side. Not sure how he'd do here, but I have a feeling it would be a bit like Bony, just not as bad.

If it was up to me, I'd go all out for a more agile and quick player who can play as both a striker and winger. E.g. Griezmann, Aubameyang, Dybala, etc.
 
Ihenacho is better. We need someone in the mold of Tevez to press the opposition and Aguero to put the ball in the back of the net. I personally think Ihenacho can do the job if given the opportunity.

Lukaku is stronger, faster, 5 years younger and more clinical. He was also playing a good seasons at West Brom while Bony was still playing Eredivisie. I honestly never understood how he ended up at City. But Lukaku is not "Bony 2.0" at all.

That said, Lukaku is not a complete player either. He is however, miles ahead of Bony and more versatile. Don't know if he's a good fit for City. I could see it working, but if you're looking for a second Agüero, keep looking. Lukaku needs to be moving and wants to be scoring, but obviously doesn't do so on finesse. His first touch has improved a lot the past 2 years, as did his holdup play, but still sometimes he still amazes in a bad way. However, with someone like Debruyne behind him, and guys like Navas & Sterling... they could provide him with the balls he needs.

But like i said, he needs to be moving, he's not the player to stand still with his back facing the goal, waiting while the rest of the team surrounds the box.
 
I can see why people think he is Bony Mark 2. But also agree he has more to his game. He is however lazy when it comes to pressing or chasing the ball down. He is the kind of player that frustrates the hell out of me. No defending from the front with this guy.
 
Afaik he gets along rather well with KDB, they probably gonna play a lot toghether for Belgium. I think Lukaku is a highly talented young striker, i'm not sure however if he fit's city so well in gamestyle ill eave that to others to contemplate.On the surface he has had an impressive season for a young EPL striker in a Epl team that is in the lower mid which makes him an attractive transfer target for a team like city, the price won't be cheap but thats not the most pressing concern.
 
For me we need to have an exceptional 2nd striker to go alongside Aguero, Nacho will come good in time but we can not afford to go into next season wigh the same 3 up top, move out Bony who will never be good enough.
We need another player like Kane, James, or goofey fucker.
