New striker?

Depends on their preferences of places to live or teams to play for, they'll get they want anywhere. We know Mbappe wants Madrid. so think that's a non starter, have no idea what Haalamd wants but Tolmie has suggested it's not Manchester.

Hopefully we'll give the lad about 250,000 reasons every week to decide he does like Manchester.

You think he wouldn't get 250 k at Madrid ? Look we may get him, hope we do, but thinking it's down to us to go and get anyone is daft. Mbappe and Haaland will go and play where they want to go and play, whatever we do or think.

I honestly do not trust our club to properly replace Aguero seen as tho they still haven’t replaced Yaya, Vinny, Silva, Sane etc. Most important transfer they’re gonna have to do in years. Haaland/Mbappe is the most obvious choice but honestly fck knows who we’re gonna get

Ings ?
 
Bernardo quotes on Mbappe:

Kylian Mbappé. He was already a special player at Monaco when I was there, and he’s also a friend. If we could get him, it wouldn’t be bad, eh?”.

Sign Bernie up to a life time deal if it gets this lad through the door.
 
The money wont stop us going for Haaland or Mbappe, it will be the fact neither want to join us.

Fucking FFP and the corrupt cartel that devised this shit show to stop us competing.

Did it, or did our owner always intend for us to be self sustaining, like they’ve alway maintained whenever asked. Has it stopped us competing ? Doesn’t seemed to have over the last 8 years.

Competing for the best players? Self sustaining is fantastic and if the owners are happy then great. It should be applauded. We have not bought a world class player in years. I’m not saying we don’t have world class players. The club/pep has developed some players to reach a new level, Sterling comes to mind.

The finished article? We won’t pay the Figures needed as we don’t have the money to spend and still pass FFP.

Have we ever? KDB possibly the only one I’d say. When we bought Aguero he wasn’t world class, he was an emerging player but not world class. Haaland would maybe similar to Aguero, but think Mbappe is now probably at a level and cost we have never bought at.
Not saying we shouldn’t or won’t try but these players will choose where they go and it won’t be solely down to money, they’ll get paid pretty much what they want wherever they go.
You can say it’s FFP it will be partly, maybe also it’s just how the owner wants to grows the club at sustainable levels.
We have built teams that have been the best English team over the last decade. a team that with luck/ decisions going our way could maybe should have at least reached a c/l final.
The last 2 c/l winners have done it with players that we would have turned our noses up at being linked to if we’d targetted them, Gnabry and Mane for example.
I have no idea who we are thinking about as Aguero’s replacement, nor Fernandinho’s for that matter, but buying a player cheaper than Haaland or Mbappe will be doesn’t mean the team can’t compete. If we have to wait until next summer either for financial reasons, especially in a covid season, or because the player we have identified isn’t available, then we wait. Not as if we’re going to be there this season so winning more in future seasons when we are there, because we were prudent, then great.
 
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.
