New striker?

[blueparrot]

We need to get rid of the deadwood , Otto, Zinchenko, etc, even loan them out, the market is picking up quickly, lots of action today.

We have to enter the market CB and with the Aguero news, we need a striker.

We are full now, Otomendi goes for a centre back.Still full. Zinchenko is the only option if we can sell if he wants to leave.

Thee are very few strikers capable of getting anywhere near Aguero. These Dybala's etc are absolutely nowhere near it.

I imagine his true replacement is an under the radar young player, not an established striker. The only realistic one currently in general view, who has potential to do it, is Haaland & we would have to make an offer fatty & Dortmund can't refuse, which we don't do.

We won't get Mbappe & he's not the same job anyhow.

So Aguero's genuine replacement is probably a kid.

We could hire an extra body, if Pep thinks Delap is too young to go on the bench.

I cant see any strikers out there who would join as we are and that's probably the exact feedback Txiki has got.

Martinez.

Jovic would have been my preference. Looks like he offers something we lack, physicality.

Looks like kun could be out for 2 months . That means we only have Jesus going into this season . By the time kun comes back we could well be out of the race . No point saying we need this player and that player as it won’t happen and we will stick with what we have .

If we can get him on loan, a good option.

We don't have to replace Aguero 1-1 but reorganize our team and then our possible striker range widens.

A false 9 like Felix or Dybala would be amazing here IMO but that would mean next season latest we'd have to add more goals to RW. Could even work out attacking wise with Foden, Foden takes the goals away from the striker and the striker adds the creativity we lost with Silva.

But what it shows, is that we need another striker.

Just as we need a centre back, left back & def mid.

If we don't get one of those in, then next transfer window, we need a centre back, left back, def mid & striker.

You just decided to ignore all of the goals he did score then?

All we would be doing is taking our best wide man from his strongest position .
