Comfortable win but we would have battered them with a clinical striker.

That's been the problem all season Ray.

Yep Den, I was crying out for a new striker in the summer. My worry is they will go into the rest of the season with an ageing and unfit Aguero and an up and down Jesus. A clinical striker, and we would have won at least 3 more games this season.

Haaland is the obvious one to go for but if he’s not attainable who do we go for who is technically good enough,will finish better than Jesus and works hard enough??

Pep's gonna wait.

Haaland should be the one we go for next summer. In January, I'd do for Patson Daka. He was playing with Haaland 12months ago with Salzburg. Haaland scored 16 goals in 14 league games but it was his CL goals that made everyone sit up and take notice (8 goals in 6 games).

In that same season, Daka scored 24 league goals in 31 games. Only 1 goal in 8 CL games though. This season, Daka has 8 goals in 8 league games. 

He's only 22yo and would cost about £20M. No brainer for me.
