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

Really
Goals win you games and we haven't enough proven fire power in the squad as it stands
We 100% need another quality striker when Bony is flogged

Top scorers for the last 3 seasons on the trot and top for 4 out of the last 5, despite our only goal scorer being permanently crocked (apparently).

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

No forward can score if the team don't create anything, our problem was long term injury to Nasri, a chunk missing for KdB and Silva carrying an injury all season when he was even on the pitch. This season we're going to have way more creative players and if the players catch on to Pep's ideas quickly enough I can see us breaking records.

Exactly
Over those 5 seasons Aguero has had support from Tevez , Mario , Negredo , Dzeko and to less extent Bony .
All out and out CF , no false no 9's or others that can play there if needed
Assuming Bony is sold
We cannot go into the new season with a Kid as sole back up

Not if Juve agree to sell for £40mill and he halves his wage demands.

Over those 5 seasons we did not have Pep Guardiola as our manager.

But we now play with one striker and two wide men and I assume that will continue. There's no starting place for a 2nd striker. The kid as you call him is ready to cover and compete with Aguero. And then we have Nolito who scored about 40 goals over 3 seasons in La Liga. Plus Sterling. I think Iheanacho showed enough last season to show that he is ready. His scoring record was phenomenal.

Oh FFS

You dont think its relevant to how we will play ?

Oh FFS

Pep won't play with two strikers, why is this so difficult for you to accept?
