Hopefully a forward as foil for Aguero. Any suggestions?


Lewendowski or Abueumang or Sanchez or Suarez.


There is some ridiculous rumour that they spoke about on one of our fans' podcasts about how we supposedly were making a lot of progress with signing Alexis.

I mean, come on...no way do Arsenal sell at all right now. Complete fantasy land nonsense.

We would be even more hated than ever if we managed that one right now as well.

Also, odd how loads of our fans want Nacho to get his chance this season, but I keep reading fans saying we need a 2nd striker to challenge Aguero. So now is Nacho not that or going to be that good?

I seriously doubt we sign any more players for now except a keeper.

Even if Bony goes? I wouldn't like to think Kun and Iheanacho were our only outright strikers. I know we have players who can play across the forward line but scoring goals regularly is the hardest thing in football and I for one prefer to see a proper forward in there


Yes, because Jesus is coming in January.

We can get away with using KDB, Nolito, Sane or Sterling as the 3rd striker for a few months, as they are are capable of scoring or at least a threat to. Remember when we used Milner as an emergency false 9? We did reasonably well, and the others are all better at scoring from my POV.

If we sign a legit 3rd striker where is Jesus going to fit when he arrives? Too many spots for time on the pitch then.


We are in business to win. If we aren't going to buy players because it might hurt the "development" of others or upset them then we might as well all fuck off and watch a local youth team develop

Absolutely. It's not the coaches son syndrome. We have some brilliant youngsters and if they are good enough they will rise to the challenge

Cant see us bringing in another top striker to compete with Aguero. We have enough options to cover Sergios sabbatical. Think were done with 'high profile' Stones, Sane type in-comings for this window.
