£100 to your chosen charity that Nacho doesn't score 20+ PL goals

Nobody has said he will, your obsessed with the whole team scoring 20 plus goals.

If Nacho was our first choice striker he'd score 20+ goals over 38 games.

Impossible to say how much game time he'd see if aguero stays fit though, so it's a stupid bet for anyone to take.

He might not but that doesn't mean we won't win the league!

Only strikers who can offer sth different to Aguero in that they can operate on the wings are Griezmann and to a certain extent Aubameyang and we aren't signing either..Switch on your PS console and play career mode with City and while at it have a grasp of Pep's systems and tactics if Pep not signing another striker offends you.

City's policy of buying younger players for around 8 mill and loaning them out to gain experience is a clever one.

Some of those guys will be worth 40 million in a couple of seasons saving us a lot of money. The ones that don't make it will still be worth what we paid for them.

The only thing is its initially difficult to tell if they are for us immediately or not so I can't get as excited as normal. I can see us making 10 new signings but 6 of them go on loan!

We played the same pushover opposition as every other team and still scored more than them.

Pep Guardiola does not play with two strikers and City will not be playing with two strikers. Not sure who the 19 year old you're referencing is (Sane is 20, Moreno?) but KDB and Nolito are good for 30+ goals between them and, under Pep's possession-based style, we really don't need more than them and Kun.

I meant Kelechi, and the folly of having just one recognised top striker in your squad for a 55 game season remains. We don't have to play two strikers at once, but that's a whole different matter from not even having the option for change on the bench. Lightweight false no.9's can kiss my arse in a league as robust as the Prem

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Did I say that? I said he and KDB together are good for 30+ goals. But yeah, Nolito was scoring for Celta Viga, I'd imagine being in Pep's system would only help him score more. Case in point: he netted 5 in 8 games for Spain this year.

Either which way, it's moot. Guardiola isn't going to be playing two strikers and no world class striker will sit around awaiting an injury to Kun. Your assertion that City need to sign another striker to win the league is nonsense and you have done nothing to back it up, even when looking at a year in which we had Pellegrini at the helm.

It's a 55 game season and Aguero is frequently out injured. If you think him playing Wednesday/Saturday week after week after week is a recipe for success you can't be helped

Counting a lot of very healthy chickens there mate

So Aguero plays, this new striker sits on the bench and is happy to, What happens to Kelechi ? You best tell Pep a false 9 is no good in England too.

I agree it's suicide to go into the season with only serg and iheanacho as strikers btw
