As you say, Dybala not available, too much money and still needs to be playing every week, especially in a new league.
Aguero is the pathway to success and also the hurdle to long-term progression. That applies in the immediacy and longer term.
It's why I think Pep will pull something out of the hat, but I think Vardy has shown enough to earn a shot, can run the channels, and would know his place in the grander scheme?
If we are talking somebody who fits the criteria of playing across all front three positions, we could always make a cheeky £90m bid for Bale...a decent bench option ;)
