replacement for Aguero

[Stephen Paul]

a lot of talk going on today about Jesus not going to be able to fill Agueros boots when he retires 

If not who is 

Halland ?
Aubameyang ?
Koulbaly ( Napoli)
Skriniar   ( Inter)

we are fucked if you are lining up two centre backs to replace him stevie

Pig Paddiola there

[gavin]

We should have signed Haaland before he moved last.

[KunDB]

My worry is Pep just doesn't value out and out quality strikers as much as we do, given his love affair with midfielders. I think that is part of our current problems, dominating possession but not scoring as often as we should/could. Our midfielders are magical at their jobs but hit and miss at scoring.

I would love an all out striker like Kun is, as Kun is coming towards the end of his career, Stering is very good but not prolific and a reliable and consistent scorer, Jesus is all action and a poacher but still not consistent enough and not quite the class of an Aguero.

I think we should be looking for a proven PL striker if possible, rather than an upcoming striker (that's Jesus).

[goat]

proven premier league striker doesnt mean a lot, bony scored a load before joining

[gavin]

It is difficult when Sergio has another year left on his contract. Potential recruits might look at it and consider that they are likely to spend most of that year on the bench.

[Swiss]

santa Cruz banged in a load n'all.

I thunk Jesus's best role is as an all action central midfielder. His finishing isn't good enough for a world class striker, which we should be aiming for.

[Neil Mcnab]

Pep could be gone next year as well, new manager would guess be more happy to bring in the striker who suits their style of play.

[lee]

kane from spuds..he'll never win owt there

[Swiss]

I'm just having this convo with my spurs mate.

Do you think he'd suit our style of play?

[KunDB]

Kane is by nature a bit lazy, a bit “it’s all about me” which is good and bad. I think Pep would soon mould him to his way of thinking.

[goat]

fair bit of noise about aguero not being a pep player, he did ok

[Swiss]

My spuds mate sent me this

[gavin]

When he is on form he looks fantastic. But he is often injured. Also, it niggles me that it seems that Tottenham made their best progress towards actually winning trophies when he was injured and fucked it up when he came straight back into the team.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Son then.

[goat]

Both Madrid teams spunked shedloads on young strikers and I don't think either did owt.  Polish lad at bayern could be good for a few years and he definitely knows the offside rule unlike Jesus

I reckon we would score more.The amount of chances squandered this season.Another season of Jesus and we wont win feck all with Sergio injured most of the time.

Not slating the lad.I like the way he grafts and hope he can do the biz in the chumps

[Hesperus]

I like Kane but not convinced he’s right for us,  maybe a couple of seasons ago but he’s looking a bit injured prone to me.

For our style we need a striker with Agueros finishing but with Sanes pace and Dzekos ability in the air.

Not much to ask for is it 😀

One thing that does puzzle me, for all the money we’ve put into the academy, why haven’t we produced a striker over the years? All the other clubs seem to generate a decent one from time to time but we only seem to being through defenders and midfielders?

Your striker wish is who Goat mentioned at Bayern

[Paddy]

Gabriel is a number 10

[goat]

Your striker wish is who Goat mentioned at Bayern

Is he that quick these day?

[Paddy]

OK Goat, a false no. 9

[goat]

eh?

i was asking lee if lewandowski is still quick

and while im here i dont think jesus is a number 10 or could hack it at false 9, he is a striker that needs confidence and a run where he knows he is first choice imo

[Paddy]

Every body is entitled to their opinion...

[gavin]

Jesus best game for City was at Real Madrid on the left. He is a very good footballer. I like the lad but I do think it might be worth exploring other positions for him whilst we have Sergio.

[Swiss]

I see Jesus as more of a box2box midfielder.

Hes hardworking, gets involved in play, but isn't necessarily a natural finisher.

[goat]

Less chance being offside all the fucking time if he's deeper

[lee]

Is he that quick these day?

Not sure mate.Looks like he's been on the weights though.

[goat]

looks like it could be the kid from inter, a short argie

Lautaro Martinez?

Plays for Inter Milan who are 3rd in  Seria A. They have scores 72 goals.

He plays only as a forward.

Champs league. 6 games, 5 goals.
Europa. 1 game.
Seria A. 28 games. 13 goals. 3 assists.

Pep looking at another Argentina striker according to "Mail online"...

[Swiss]

Not a fan of AC? Take it our black and red away strip irks you?


Not seen him either, but from his YouTube looks a bit of a hot head.

[goat]

AC are the only team, inter Milan is one of those things that really bugs me for some reason. Good old Len backed me up on that back in the day

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Bloody hell forgot about our len the lad

[bluebrendan]

Yeah, "Milan" is AC Milan, "Inter" is Internazionale. "Inter Milan" is some sort of bastard child of the two!

Love a bit of Italian footy.
I have not nailed my colours to any team but i do have a soft spot for Napoli and Torino much to the disgust of my wife.

picking fiorentina would make chrimbo dinner interesting if they are juventus fans

The arguments that go in the local bars over Torino and Juventus..They fookin hate each other..I just keep out of it

[goat]

Italian derbies don't make much sense, juventus inter meant to be the big one but I don't think they give a fuck about each other

[Stephen Paul]

never really took much interest in the Italian game

Corruption was huge for a while
