New striker?

[r.soleofsalford]

Just want someone with pace, can dribble past defenders and score goals, step forward Kylian Mbappe

Yep would be great. It`s just that PSG`s Qatari owner would NEVER sell him to our Abu Dhabi owner.

Yeah when you think of the rivalry, your spot on, such a shame because Mbappe would have been bob on for us.

Personally would be happy if City just switched two players around !

Jesus on the wing Torres centre forward, theres something about Torres when he plays central.

 

[Kippaxpete]

I'm not sure Torres it's ready to take on the mantle of striker. However, I am in favour of switching Jesus out wide where, incidentally, he's been successful recently when turning out for Brasil. It would go some way to shutting up the moaners who constantly complain about his goal return while relieving some of the pressure on him.

Jesus played out wide/midfield ( very well)most of the season that was the problem he was never in the box.

Just comparing the Champions League records of a few of the big-name options:

Lukaku - 27 games, 13 goals - 0.48 GPG
Mbappé - 45 games, 27 goals - 0.6 GPG
Messi - 149 games, 120 goals - 0.81 GPG
Kane - 24 games, 20 goals - 0.83 GPG
Håland - 16 games, 20 goals - 1.25 GPG

....and your point Is? or are you expecting someone to list the teams they scored against? Already been done....somewhat doesn't back your weak point in the least ;)

 

[Blu1]

Somebody send this thread to the club.
The fans have spoken :-)

 

[xgorton]

We should go for Roy of the Rovers from Melchester.

Genuine question: how can you simultaneously say my point is weak while not knowing what it is?

I thought it would be interesting to look at their respective records in the one competition that all of them have competed in, given the disagreement around the quality of their respective domestic leagues. I presented the results without comment

 

[BufordUSABlue]

But, does he track back?
Plus, is he cuptied ?

tbf if it really came down to it we could offer Mbappe a 100m signing on fee next summer. Would be even sweeter to take him on free. Sadly he probably goes Real no matter what.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

If we sign a striker, I hope it's Haaland - IMO, we very much seem to be not signing a top striker next window.

Who are the 11? :x

jesus has the same goal return as dzeko for city... i think hes scapegoated a little

Dzeko scored from everywhere...jesus scores the vast majority from tap ins. Dzeko was a well rounded out and out striker. The new system we have has been unkind to gabby as he doesnt get the easy tap in chances anymore...same as sterling really.

Džeko missed from everywhere too

yeah I absolute hate this myth that dzeko was a top top striker for us! Anyone who watched him week in week out knows how lazy and unreliable he was

Brilliant on his day, and scored some big goals for us, but one of those players where you could tell in the first five minutes whether he was going to have a good game or a bad game.

100%!!! Similar in the way Leroy sane was, he was either on it or completely off it
