Bale would be a great signing. Counts as homegrown as well.
Can play anywhere in a front three, fast, direct and knows the league? Nothing to lose imo

Well we could have contacted him earlier than they did, outbid them, put pressure on their deal etc. KDB looked set for bayern, otamendi was heading to United, pogba was off to Barcelona, United had wrapped up firmino...I was always under the impression Dybala to Juventus was agreed well before last summer as a replacement for Tevez, I 'm not sure why people assume we could have got him.
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 ;)
I agree he's just the sort of player we need and a front 3 of Bale, Sterling and Aguero would be perfect. But I can't see a gross spend of more than £250 mill and I reckon the defence and central midfield are going to take £200 mill to get into shape so I can't see more than £50 mill being available for a wide attacking player hopefully Pep or the club have somebody up their sleeve that can provide that sort of threat for the money available. Course I could be wrong and we have more than that to spend in which case as you say why not.Can play anywhere in a front three, fast, direct and knows the league? Nothing to lose imo
What about the Dortmund striker?
