New striker?

If we were in a position where we needed two centre forwards (i.e. if both Sergio and Gabby left), we could do a lot worse than Ings. Year left on his contract, wants another chance to play at the top level. Really good all round striker.
He is shit. Honestly never seen him do anything with the ball. No shots, no layoffs to others, no skills. Everything he does is poorly executed. And he looks exhausted all the time.

Mahrez would be better.
 
Imo we wont go after a typical cf, more of a tevez type player, a player who is just as comfy dropping deeper as playing with his back to goal, the way we play i just can't see us going for the big powerful type, I can actually see torres in that position
 
I struggle to see the logic in a Pep side looking at Lukaku and Ings as our top targets. :) No offense to them.

But Lukaku's first-touch is a no-go in a Pep side. And i doubt we are going to be looking at 2 traditional strikers.

It will be a striker + a wide forward/attacking midfielder at most. Haaland + Grealish/Messi would be my preference. :)
 
If (and it's a big IF, probably not even worth looking at) we could get Son for a decent price, he'd be great as a false 9. Levy would make it difficult, but he's got 2 years left on his contract. Don't know how he gets such good players to accept their never going to win a trophy.

agree, I think Son technically is perfect fit for a Pep team. would have him over Kane
 
Did you all just miss the part of the tweet that said "the idea of acquiring two new forwards this summer"? Clearly Ings wouldn't be a replacement for aguero.
