What I implied was a front two of Auba and Kun with possibly Sterling and Sane as the wide men. However it's all hypothetical at the moment and we will all have to see the outcome in a couple of months time.Be very surprised to see either used to 'play off' each other unless we go 3 at the back. Could easily imagine Aguero, Ambaumayang, Sane in a front 3 though.

How does such a poor footballer score 39 goals in a season and get linked with Barca, Madrid etc?

All very interesting nobody has a clue, it's all guesswork.
I'm just guessing from previous Pep, that he'll use our strikers like he did Henry etc. If he used 2 together, i'd imagine him balancing it by playing 3 at the back & packing the midfield.
Another that crossed my mind, was two wide strikers cutting in, ala Barca, with DeBruyne in the 'Messi role'.
We should offer them bonny to soften the blow ...
That would piss them off, I think.
Doubt Guardiola would employ a 4-4-2 or something similar. If we do sign this guy, either him or Kun would probably be shipped to left wing, much like Villa & Henry.What I implied was a front two of Auba and Kun with possibly Sterling and Sane as the wide men.

I'm starting to think its posters way of "we don't want him anyway" in case the move doesn't happen. People are literally making up negatives on the spot and questioning our new manager who's seen him play and studied him more than all.How does such a poor footballer score 39 goals in a season and get linked with Barca, Madrid etc?

Exactly this, he'll play on the left but not as a winger more as an inside forward much like villa and Henry. Pep needs a player however to hog the touchline to stretch the pitch to allow more space in the centre as it would otherwise be to congested, so that's why he needs a sane as well to compliment a narrow left forwardDoubt Guardiola would employ a 4-4-2 or something similar.

Would we really spend 60+ million on a guy and play him out of position?

I think we have to forget about the concept of position as we have known it. From what I have seen Pep uses his players every where, and he is having good results isn't he?Would we really spend 60+ million on a guy and play him out of position?

Not out of position, he played wing for St. Etienne until he moved to Dortmund.

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.Not out of position, he played wing for St. Etienne until he moved to Dortmund.

Nope not having that, Peps just another chancer making it up as he goes along, he just wants shiny new toys and will worry about formations and how and where to play them when he arrives.
That sounds like a top plan, I would like to see that, but what about if city land sane?Fortunately, his first or second touch is a goal.
As opposed to Bony's which is a tackle.
Who gives a rat's ass?
Personally, I think Pep will convert him as a direct running wide attacker, same as Bale. We will see Sterling then switch to the right-hand side, so he's less dependent on having to stop and come inside and pass the proverbial buck.
Much more direct, a three who can also be slipped in on goal, courtesy of KDB or Silva.
More Real Madrid than Barcelona-esque, which is ironic.
Yes and maybe even a run at Kroos who i'd take in a heartbeatJust a question. If Madrid are going for Pogba. Does that give us the free run at Aubamayang? As of their "buying a Galactico" rule every summer window.
