Actually, let's overpay Marseilles for Caleta-Car, so they don't need to raise money by selling Dieng. I'm not annoyed by them at all, honest.
If I was a young striker, who was super talented but either wasn't playing enough or wanted to prove himself in the PL - the thought of playing (almost certainly fairly regularly) in this side, with all that running, with JWP delivery and with a shed load of other youngsters in the same boat would make me as hard as a totem poll (to quote R.Giggs). The right player(s) will want to come here. No need to force it.
A lot depends on this Edozie guy, if we think he is first team ready I don’t think we necessarily need another striker. Adams Mara Armstrong x 2 Ely Edozie Seems enough to me, if Edozie is being signed with more the u23 in mind initially then we need another body there. I haven’t included Redmond/Walcott as expect them to be off
He’ll be 1st team squad. Several appearances and bench places for City, and Pep said he just needs more minutes to show his true potential as all wingers need.
Everything suggests he's first team squad ready. Agree that we don't 'need a body' but a bloody good goalscorer would make us scary strong.
