New striker?

He does fine yes...fine isnt good enough on his own

Aguero also scores big chances and scores goals Jesus wont ever come close to (2 against liverpool i can automatically think of)

Nobosy was doubting Sergio 3 years into his career with us - plenty of questions still about Jesus and plenty of people still talking about "potential' with him........

We wont be at the top with him leading our line.....as part of it he is absolutely necessary and is a very good player but he is not a world class finisher at present and thats what we need

I thought we had a better record recently with Jesus ?

How do the two compare in away games ?

No idea and stats either way can be misleading.....he has been here 3 or 4 seasons now and its still a debate whether he is clinical enough. From what i see he isnt...not as a sole striker or central striker...as part of a front 3 and idwally playing from the left he is a good player but we need a finisher and he isnt good enough in that one area. We need a player in the ageuro, werner, haaland, mould ....players who pit the ball in the net regularly and when chances are limited...sterling is just as guilty
 
I hope City are still looking at Benfica. This guy seems to be the real deal. Some Benfica fans online saying hes better than felix was more complete striker. Scored a Hattrick in the europa league as well

We miss chances whoever plays. We also score a lot of goals. We would score a lot more if we stopped trying to be perfect & created more 'chaos' in the box, imo.

This is one of the reasons I've thought we could benefit from a taller striker with pace, technical ability and ideally good vision who is a real threat to score with their head.

Aguero and Jesus are not bad in the air by any means for their size but that's not really what defenders are focused on.

This could affect spacing when we face a packed defence or at least create a threat to utilise this threat in these situations and on set pieces where we are generally forced to play it short if it's indirect or long.

I agree, we have a shitload of players who could deliver a ball, if they had anyone to deliver it to.
 
It will have been mentioned numerous times but Haaland is the answer to our problem of replacing Aguero.

Pace to burn, excellent finisher, great link up play, scores for fun and could be around for another 8-10 years.

Weve also not had any kind of aerial presence from a striker since Dzeko which gives us another dimension against teams that like to park the bus (99.9% of teams we play)

Irrespective of his agent we have to do everything to sign this kid.

You are correct, his agent is not going to be the sticking point. We will already know if he has any interest and I don't think he will, he will go to Madrid.

Depends if they have ambitions of signing mbappe this summer, I can’t see them doing both?
