New striker?

[The Stockport Iniesta]

You sometimes play one of them (Gabby) out wide in a front three, would be my answer to ‘how?’

Could do, I actually think he plays better on the left than through the middle personally.

Does Pep think that though? The amount of times Pep has played him wide left suggests probably not.

That’s the fucking spirit, spoiled child, we haven’t even kicked a fucking ball yet

Spoiled child?

I take it you watched this season. We have Sterling and Jesus both of whom are falling short in the finishing department when we cannot afford it too happen. We have Sergio who is nearing the end of his career and is unlikely to be fully fit all season.

So based on the evidence I would say a ball does not need to be kicked before that problem needs addressing. Fuck all to do with thats the spirit its flagging up one of the reasons we just lost to Lyon finished way behind Liverpool and lost a cup semi final to a team who had what we had not got....a top class finisher who scores important goals.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Aubameyang wouldn't cost too much, can play anywhere across the front 3, has one of the most consistent scoring records over the past 10 years, is proven in the league & has done well with minimal service from midfield. Plus, he'd help replace Sane's pace on the counter and make us less one-dimensional.

He'd be an incredible option for the next 2/3 years whilst we figure out what life without Aguero looks like.

Spot on this. We definitely need to bring in a world class finisher before we end up doing what we did with Kompany.

I'd probably wait until next summer though. Sort the defence out first and foremost, add Thiago/Aouar (if we can) and leave us with a full summer budget to buy a World Class striker next summer.

Jovic with an option to buy, what's the worst that could happen?

That offer is likely to be turned down and he’d go somewhere else......

 

[Blue Hefner]

I’ve never really like Cavani but if there’s no transfer fee involved surely we could consider him for the next 18 months whilst the club identifies a suitable options?

The team plays maximum of 60 games/season

How many times will Jesus play on the left ?

If you choose Jesus to play on the left, you will have to bench real wingers ( whether its Sterling, Mahrez or Torres ) and you will keep them unhappy.

Its like playing Fernandinho as CB and benching real CBs ( Stones & Otamendy )

Be good enough to not get benched.Stones and Otamendi didn't.

New striker needed this window, think we'll be lucky if Sergio plays half the matches next season, so that leaves Jesus and I'm still not convinced he's the answer. No other squad has only two strikers, potentially one and a half next season, so another option would be nice, Jovic from Madrid might be achievable.
