Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[SWP's back]

But being on the wing isn't what has made him as good as he is. I'm sure pep would make it work but still that's not where he plays his best football.

He's better than what we have out wide.

And when Aguero is injured for 20 games a season we have a world class striker through the middle.

What's not to love?

Aye Pep would never spend a lot of money on a striker and then play them out wide. Just ask David Villa, or Thierry Henry

True as it will be predictable that aguero will get hurt at some point

Yes and maybe even a run at Kroos who i'd take in a heartbeat

Cool. Same here, will take Kroos in a hearbeat as well. More than Pogba for me.

Out of interest, how did he fit Muller and Lewandowski into the Bayern team? I don't watch Bundesliga, but aren't they both strikers?

Pep can play him left back for me, I have total faith in his choices.

Look at when he.got Henry from Arsenal. Henry never played out wide, but at Barca he did fine on the wing . In Pep we trust

 

[Blue Hefner]

I've said for years that we need to stop buying substitutes to play when Aguero isn't fit and buy a top striker to play with him and who can then fill his boots when he is inevitably injured - whether this guy fits the bill or not, I'm not sure

Totally agree. We should just be delighted we're getting the guy! Where he plays and in what system is no concern of mine, I'll let the best manager in the world carry that burden.

He played Muller as the Central AM/Support Forward or out on the right wing.

At City, Pep will do similar with our strikers. I actually think that Pep will be even more flexible at City.
For example Aguero could play out on the left as well (as he often does for Argentina).
Kelchi and Pierre-Emerick could go out to right flank too and Kelchi could play in the hole.

Also Pep's Plan B's often involve going 3 at the back pushing an extra player forward (with one option being two forwards).
