New striker?

Pep has said about signing a striker: "We thought about it, another type of striker, but we couldn’t do it. When you decide to buy a striker, they need to be on Gabriel and Sergio’s level and you cannot afford it. That’s the reality, when you try to buy a striker it has to be someone at the level of Sergio & Gabriel and they are hard to buy and very expensive. We didn’t expect Gabriel to be injured while Sergio was coming back"

You can't go into a season expecting everyone to stay fit either, makes you wonder if they enquired about Haaland or Mbappe and got scared off by the price. If that's the case it will be no different duding the next transfer windows. I don't think we are up for competing for the biggest and most expensive players anymore.

Of course it will be different next summer, Aguero will likely be gone, we won’t be spending the biggest part of our budget on a centre back.

You also don't expect both strikers to be out at the same time.

It would be ridiculous to have signed another striker without selling one first.

It is like saying we need a third first team quality goalkeeper in case Ederson and Steffen both get injured. 2 players for one position is plenty.

They have been both out injured at the same time for decent period before in previous seasons.

Contracted season time , reduced pre season , 4 competitions and Kuns last year with his aging body menaing he is likely to play only half in half the games if that knowing he is coming off a 4 month injury.

of course we need another striker and needed one this year , Messi was mooted and Pep has admitted they wanted another striker but couldn't get one of note which in itself is disturbing.

I have said for a while we are struggling to get ready made WC players in the side.

How many do we now have.

I remember when we had 4 strikers in the squad.

We better keep many more clean sheets this season if we to not slip any further than last season because our ability to score at the levels in the past is long gone.

in the past we could score enough without them now we struggle.

In our first 5 games last season we scored 16 goals fast forward to this season and its 8 and that's not only very worrying its depressing.
 
Would be far more interesting, rather than discussing who we didn’t buy last window, for this thread, for me, is which strikers are we likely to be looking at assuming Mbabbe and Haaland are more likely to end up in Spain.
Martinez and Felix were 2 mentioned , not sure about either, over the summer, but there must be others we could be looking at.

We need to ignore it like PSG and if some **** whines about us take the bastards down in court.

We won’t ignore because we don’t want to, PSG don’t ignore it either, City fans that don’t understand their finances saying they do is like fans of other teams not understanding ours saying we ignore it.

We should go all out for Haaland, whatever it takes. If he doesn't want to come, or for some reason the board don't believe he'll hugely improve the team, then Heung-Min Son would be a great signing to go for instead.
