Looks like a done deal:

Any good?  Can't see an Argentinian striker doing well at City  ::)

The new Kun? Or more likely loaned out and then sold on for a profit?

A lot of clubs have been looking at him and he already has quite a few full international starts for Argentina.  Personally I'd prefer to see City get players like this and develop them into top players, instead of going for Kane/Haaland etc. 
Pep will improve him so the worst case scenario is that we sell him on for a profit.

Yeh, I know little about him but if we can pick up players at this price and make them into world class then that is much preferred to the £100 million signings.

Yea was thinking the same re the defending.  But he can take on players and doesn't need a compass to find the goal.  Pep will work his magic I'm sure

It is announced at last! But apparently we don't need him now. Pep certainly very happy to go on without a striker until the end of the season. Who can argue with Pep, especially considering the league table. Nonetheless, I'd like to have seen us sign a striker for the here and now.
