Yesterday was the first time I’ve accepted that Jesus just isn’t good enough. He offers close to nothing at times - like post lockdown - as a left winger he doesn’t have the explosiveness of Sterling either.
Martinez at Inter is set to extend his contract or leave for Barcelona. Haland’s release clause doesn’t kick in until next summer. Joao Felix has the ankles of Jack Wilshere. Kane is definitely past his best and would cost £100m easily. And if Jovic isn’t wanted or deemed good enough by Madrid, the same way we think Zinchenko isn’t, the likelihood of him moving elsewhere and being formidable is so unlikely, unless it’s to a club a step down from our calibre.
The number 9 position is quiet the concern if lose Aguero next season again for any length of spell unless we recruit and it’s going to be incredibly hard to recruit.
