Just look at his record , Muscle injuries as soon as it gets cold , every season

Not just that though. We do have goals in the rest of the squad, irrelevant of Bony as he hardly contributed anyway. We'll probably finish top scorers - though there will be games where we mess up as well. All in all though I'm pretty confident for the season regardless of who else we sign.

False No 9's still need to score goals , and lots of them and we don't have anyone aside Aguero that fit's that bill.
Aguero will not be fit come winter to play CL and PL games ( 2 in a week )

Nacho isn't ready and the others don't score enough

When is Nacho gonna be ready? When we spend 100 billions on other world class strikers in their prime and Kelechi finds himself glued to bench without game time and chance to show his skills? Or is it gonna be when he leaves club on a small fee and becomes world beater, so we can buy him back as super star Pogba style?

Pep didn't need 3 strikers at Bayern or Barca and I would guess he won't be having 3 with us. we were the league leading scorers last season ( how many did Bony contribute ?), and will be next, with added goals from Nolito, Sane. Plus Sterling, Silva and KDB will score more. Those 5 plus Aguero and Iheanacho will get over 80 between them.

I'd say over 100.

We're not Barca or Munich , different gravy

What makes you feel Sterling , Silva and 2 players that we have no idea how they will settle in the PL will score 20+ goals ?

I don't I was guessing about 10 - 12 each plus about 12 for KDB and Iheanacho and Agueros usual 25 plus.

Yet we scored more goals than any other team. Gee, I wonder if the defence has anything to do with that?

(We don't need another striker)

You're wrong. We scored a lot of goals against pushover opposition (9 vs Bournemouth, 7 vs Newcastle, 6 vs Chelsea, 5 vs Palace, 5 vs West Brom etc), but equally there were numerous games when we were so lightweight up front we bordered on pathetic, and created next to nothing (Rags away, Liverpool home, Leicester home, Stoke away, Newcastle away, Sunderland away, Liverpool away, Arsenal away).
We need two new centre halves for sure, but we absolutely do need another forward as well (preferably of the powerful variety), and particularly given Kun's injury record. Relying on Sterling, Silva, Nolito and a 19 year old, who still falls only into the decent prospect category for me, would be foolish IMO

We finished 4th

Yet finished 4th - Scoring 71 ( Aguero / Bony )
2012 - Scored 93 ( Aguero / Dzeko / Tevez )
2014 scored 102 ( Aguero / Dzeko / Negredo )

We finished fourth despite scoring the most goals. The conclusion you draw from that is that we need to buy... goalscorers?

Our defence has been shaky at best since Mancini left.

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.
