Callum Wilson

[BullyDogs]

As a 3rd striker or 2nd rotation we need an elite striker coming to the end of his career who wants a crack in England just like Zlatan did........Welcome Karim Benzema

I think Gordon can play as a third choice striker, as opposed to bringing in a player over the hill/mercenary willing to sit on the bench. Ordinarily you could have Barnes, Joelinton or even Almiron filling in on the left

 

Guessing once it gets to January we can at least unregister Tonali to free up a slot somewhere in the squad somewhere.

Someone said we should have kept Chris Wood yesterday!

 

It's going to have to be someone that's not top notch as no one is giving up their strikers without a big fee.

 

Who do you guys think could be a good shout then? Interested to see what folks think.

[ponsaelius]

Gordon as third choice striker would normally be absolutely fine IMO. The issue is we have Barnes, Murphy, Anderson etc out so have massive issues in terms of other options to play wide.

To be fair, that was James. Not the worst thing he's ever posted on here surprisingly.

True!

 

Just looking around I've been seeing mentions of the likes of Toney, Boniface and even Osimhen regarding a striker signing.

 

Think there's going to be quite the meltdown from folks in January.

We're not signing a striker in January, unless both Wilson and Isak pick up long-term injuries. I suspect we'll look for Wilson's replacement in summer though.

[Away Toon]

I thought Pedro was the one to get but seemingly in the end we lost interest. How is he doing at Brighton?

I don’t think we will see any meltdown on here tbh, I think most people are aware FFP is a thing. 

[Decky]

It was so obvious that Wilson would get injured while Isak was out.  

[Aiston]

Some people claiming selling wood was a mistake

He is absolutely shit. The mistake was not signing a young striker with potential.

We did, but he’s out on loan. 

[Decky]

Didn’t we get like £15m for Wood by the way?  There is no scenario on earth where that wasn’t the right decision to sell.  I’d play Dummett at striker if I had to, as long as im getting that 15m for Wood.

Since wood left we are short of third striker that can come in and play while isak and Wilson rest.we have a striker on the books kuol whether hes ready yet or not it would be better than shifting most our team around to fill in positions they're not 100% comfortable in. I mean we are bringing the academy products to our bench already so what harm would kuol have done keeping him. 

[Miercoles]

Gordon has looked great at CF to be fair.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Not sure any PL club has 3 capable strikers TBH. Almost impossible now everyone starts with only one.

Big Joe can do a job up top if needed, he was definitely playing up front of some sorts last night.

I'd almost rather have Chris Wood back.

 

No, strike that. It's close though.

His movement has been good but i don't think he's been that good in general play lately. Probably tired or something.

[SiLvOR]

Ferguson would be ideal, but would cost an absolute bomb, you'd think. But as a young striker who could rotate, get plenty of game time, and eventually take the number 9 shirt, he's probably top of my (admittedly very limited) list. 

Coming back down to earth, I can't think who we could get in January. Would a loan for Ekitike be ridiculous?

Playing purely fantasy football he would be my pick for a PIF statement signing... Could be this generations Shearer

I'm not saying it's the greatest option, but it's the best out of a bad bunch for us at the minute.

I think Joe on the left and AG up top is more threatening. We're massively missing Barnes here.

100% City only have Haaland and Alvarez, Man U have Hoiland and Martial, Arsenal have Gabby and Nketiah, Villa have Watkins and Duran, Spurs have Son. 

 

If any of those teams outside city get our injury issues they are in more trouble than we are.
