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
Leicester did OK with just Jamie Vardy and stupidly tight defending last year.
But sure, Pep's game doesn't work in the PL, don't you think you should let him know?
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
If you think this new striker will sit on the bench waiting for an Aguero injury, while Kelechi does fuck all, then you can't be helped.
Recipe for success? Give over. Pep Guardiola's won plenty of games with only midfielders and a goalie, I think he knows what he's doing.
I agree it's suicide to go into the season with only serg and iheanacho as strikers btw
Nolito can also play as a striker. Problem solved.

Why do you, and others, keep saying Aguero is frequently out injured, he's not,I posted earlier he played 44 games last season, only 3 games less than Hart.It's a 55 game season and Aguero is frequently out injured.

Only once has he played less than 40 games in a season. You dont win or finish up ruuner up in the golden boot if you are mising loads of games injured.

Point taken but he hasn't gone a season since he arrived here without being injured so that's what they are getting at.
I would like another Striker personally but each to their own

I see your point I dont really want to disagree however having been linked with strikers and this now going silent and us hopefully loosing Bony when we have in the past had 4 strikers which was to many but did mean we won the league unlike the last two years. Then not getting a striker would seem disappointing. I Having two strikers seems dangerous unless we have someone in the academy who can change things if Kelechi has an off game and Augero is injured or false 9 works I have some doubts but I trust Pep hopefully if it does not work it wont be for long or will be around Jan window.

We had 4 strikers when we played 2 up top.
Now we play 1 up top, we'll have 2 strikers.

That might have cut more ice if Pep himself hadn't already acknowledged that managing in the EPL will be a voyage of discovery for him, so sarcastic bollocks about letting Pep know his way won't work is potentially just that; sarcastic bollocks. Anyway, In the circumstances it might be an idea to have the personnel in place to play more than one way.
I'm not sure what Leicester and Vardy have in common with City as we will not be parking buses and lumping long balls over the top or playing like them even remotely.
Nolito can play as a striker, problem solved?! I can think of about 100 strikers I would prefer up top to Nolito. Is that really the level of centre forward we should be enthusing about? A half decent 29 year old winger with 5 or 6 international caps filling in. Nah, not for me.
Pep is a great manager, but there are people on here investing almost boundless faith him to instantaneously turn water into wine. This league is 10 times more competitive than any other

I sincerely hope that Nolito is as good a player as people are making out
We play with one goalkeeper but have 3 in the squadWe had 4 strikers when we played 2 up top.
Now we play 1 up top, we'll have 2 strikers.
