Lukaku to Chelsea.
Abraham to Arsenal.
Abraham flops.
We all know how this ends.

He is 24 in 3 weeks, so almost 30. That's how it goes.He does need to score more goals, but he's in his early 20s.
He's not getting that retirement money at Arsenal. Not on Edu's watch.He is 24 in 3 weeks, so almost 30. That's how it goes.
The Auba and Lacazette dynamic never quite worked and we'd just be continuing this if we sign this guy, even if the dreaded Lacazette leaves.
I feel like we've thrown our needs and focus on finding the correct profile out the window and gone for the opportunistic star power signing which has never quite worked for us.
Are we fine with Auba on the wings indefinitely? Will we play 2 upfront to get the best out of Lautaro?
The main plus sides to this signing is he is admittedly better than everything we have (bar Auba's goalscoring) and he would put an end to the ESR/Willian false 9 stuff from happening ever again. Otherwise this is reminiscent of when we went all in with Saliba and Pepe whilst not addressing more pressing needs.
Ideally, but then I'd point to Martinelli and Balogun whilst Auba and/or Laca are here.Would you say its wise to start the transition away from Laca and Auba now considering the former has one year left and the latter is going downhill fast?
I don’t see how Auba will play on the wing of Saka’s fit and Pépé continues his end of season form. If Lautaro comes he and Auba will share cf, at least while the former adapts to the new environment and tactics. Then it’ll be a case of competing between the two.

Agree to an extent, but at the same time Martinez isn’t comparable to Saliba in that he’s (even more) proven and at the absolute highest level as well.The main plus sides to this signing is he is admittedly better than everything we have (bar Auba's goalscoring) and he would put an end to the ESR/Willian false 9 stuff from happening ever again.

He's class and there's a window of opportunity there, so I get it but I am sceptical of whether he fixes our problems or if this is just us hoping this guy single handedly changes our fortunes.
I meant more in that we had big problems in the squad and we signed a CB & Forward in Saliba and Pepe. This summer again, we have problems in multiple positions and yet are marquee signings are potentially another CB and Foward again. It's essentially doubling down.Agree to an extent, but at the same time Martinez isn’t comparable to Saliba in that he’s (even more) proven and at the absolute highest level as well.

Gabriel Jesus will be available if City get Kane.
He's better than Lautaro and Abraham imo.

People looking at me like I am crazy but I don't get it.It's hard to really come up with ideas about where all these players will play and operate together because you must factor in Mick's restrictive sufferball system. You could imagine how a front three of Lautaro flanked by Auba and Pepe would work then you remember Auba will be playing as an auxiliary LWB and we'll create no chances.

This is with me fully assuming Lacazette is gone too and I still can't quite picture it. We've never played 2 upfront and we still create less than a handful of chances a game.
So does Lautaro though no? He's a pretty poor finisher.Jesus will get hounded by fans before the season ends. Misses a lot of chances and, in brazil at least, he's not seen as a 9.
