Well, that sucks!

If we had signed a striker before we signed Asamoah and Isla, I'm sure you wouldn't have bashed him as well for not giving enough attention to our depth in midfield.
I wouldn't have been as harsh on him, but as it stands, we still don't have a striker, and our LB/LWB position is pathetic compared to the abundance of riches we have on the right.

Some good news:

- Adebayor and Tottenham are very close to a deal - he will cut wages to join them permanently. They'll pay something like 7 or 8M to City.

- Aguero will be out for only a month

- De Rossi will reject City

The consequences:

Regarding Llorente, now Tottenham is very likely to be out of the game for him. He probably won't join any La Liga team - fans would kill him -,Barca doesn't have any money left for this transfer window after signing Song and Real will bring Modric and are set at the striker department. No Italian team have money apart from Juve. Bayern has already got Mandzukic and will spend a load of money for Martinez. United is set with Van Persie, Arenal got Giroud and Wenger said they won't get anyone else for attack (also Podolski). Chelsea spent a lot of money on Oscar and Hazard, and if they get another striker it will be Moses. Liverpool got Borini and have Suarez.

Summing it up, the only other team I see that could offer something for Llorente is City, but they don't need him and are after Jovetic. And if they get Llorente (unlikely), that will free Dzeko.That being said, I think if Llorente leaves Bilbao he's joining Juve.

City should sign Jovetic or someone else for attack, and now they won't spend a $#@! load on De Rossi. They shouldn't try to keep Dzeko cause Aguero is fine. He will end up being available then.

So I think this will be a happy ending for us. Either Llorente or Dzeko are coming. I'm more confident now, things are going to work fine for us. A 3rd gk, Peluso and one between Llorente and Dzeko. Maybe get rid of Matri/Quag, but that may not even happen.

So we're good.
Yeh, unfortunately, this is what I think will happen:

Man City buys Jovetic and KEEPS Dzeko. OR Fiorentina refuses to sell to Man City and that also keeps Dzeko at Man City.

Bilbao refuse to sell Llorente to Juve for anything less than 25-30m (Juve would only go up to 20m max).

What does that leave us with? Nothing.

So here is the problem for me now.....

Last season we had: Del Piero, Vucinic, Matri, Quagliarella and Borriello - 5 forwards

At the moment we have: Giovinco, Vucinic, Matri, Quagliarella. Boakye is not going to stay with us this season. So what does that mean? We NEED another striker regardless because we are playing Champions League. So if we did sell Matri/Quags to fund Dzeko/Llorente we would still need another striker!

Conte likes those players who can play in multiple positions. Giaccherini, Padoin, now probably joined by Peluso - sheer mediocrity when it comes to individual talent, but they have their place in a scudetto winning team.

I hope this guy turns out to be a star. Him and Boayke as well, so we don't have to worry about our attack, or Marotta delaying, procrastinating, and keeping us on edge with his penny pinching, and (as of yet) failure to acquire a top striker.

Immobile is somewhat older then both of them, but I think everyone at Juve have big expectations when it comes to him. I hope that Genoa doesn't milk us next year.

If Bonatini turns out to be a star, Marotta acquired us a top striker per definition.

Both Conte and Marotta said that top player doesn't have to be a big name but someone who's good anyway (ala Vidal signing). Kinda weird, when they say stuff like that it usually happens.

So if it's not Llorente nor any other big player, who will it be? :boh: Chicharito?
