The are we allowed the "it's quiet" thread yet? thread.

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Without sounding like a spoilt brat if we go into the season with only Aguero and Nacho ( Assuming Bony is on his bike ) we won't win the league.
Surely we're in for a striker @tolmie's hairdoo

I'm sure I read soemwhere that Sane's true potential could be at striker?.....With Sane and Nolito both able to play upfront I wouldnt be concerned about depth at that position

I suspect Pep sees Nolito, Sterling and Sane as potential strikers too. He Ike's the strikers to come in from wide right?

Whilst a window of:

Gundogan
Nolito
Zinchenko
Rulli
Stones
Peres
Sane
Moreno

Is a big window, i'm absolutely amazed we haven't gone for another top class midfielder. Those additions above are needed but still leave us short in midfield.

Looks like Toure and Bony are staying too, which is a real shame.

I think Sterling, Sane and Nolito are all seen as players that can fill the main striker role if need be.

I don't understand why anyone thinks this way.

We have Aguero, the best striker in the league.

If he gets injured we have a kid who has risen to every challenge and shown he's got world class potential.

Then we'll have Sané, who many in Germany think might end up at striker anyway.

Then Sterling who can do a job there, and I'm sure can do a much better job under Pep than Pellegrini.

Then Silva, who's played false 9 for Spain dozens of times.

Then Nolito who could also play false 9.

Then an academy full of talent.

The idea we need 3 world class strikers for 1 position on the pitch is absolute rubbish, and it's something Guardiola has never done. Barcelona had 4 players to cover the entire front 3, and Bayern only had Lewandowski, with Muller playing out of position the only cover option.

We don't need another striker.

Not very strong in the air that lot. In fact that could be the case for the complete team given the list of new players circulating this thread today. Any reason to be worried?

We need someone good in the air but also technical on the ball. Lewandowski like

With all the new foreigners I can't see Bony making the 17.

Bonucci please..

 

[Clarkey_78]

Aguero will pick up injuries as the months get colder just like he always does.
Do you honestly believe Sterling , Sane , Nolito and even Nacho will score north of 20 PL goals
No chance
It will cost us the league if we don't replace a departing Bony with someone with a record
