Oh when the -sons go marching in, oh when the -sons go marching in...Darren Lewis chatting on TS earlier.....
He thinks Johnson should get done....
He also says he heard a little rumbling that the plan was:
LW: Johnson
CF: Richy
RW: Son
Do you see any of Biss, Sarr, Udogie, Porro, Emerson, etc. coming anywhere near 13 goals? I don't.Since Aguero left, City's highest scorers prior to the arrival of Haaland were Gundogan with 13 in 20/21 and KDB with 15 in 21/22. Both midfielders. So I am not buying the "we need a 15-20 goal a season striker" argument.
His two goals got them the three points lolMaybe we can arrange a loan deal with Bayern for Kane.
We get him on the weekends and during the week, he plays for Bayern in Europe.
Bayern don’t need him on the weekends anyway.
He's more like a Humvee with Bull bars!Romero is rolls Royce defender as well.
There’s a lot of this doing the rounds at the moment.I don't personally care where the goals come from but you can't just cite elite players like Gundogan and KDB to suggest we can replicate it.
Madders and Son can get double digits easily. Same for Richie. Porro and Udogie are definitely going to get 5 a piece. Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulu all have another 6-8 goals each in them. These alone get us to 65-70 goals without even counting what the subs and defenders will contribute.Do you see any of Biss, Sarr, Udogie, Porro, Emerson, etc. coming anywhere near 13 goals? I don't.

And there are a lot of people who have a blinkered view of football doing the rounds. You lose a striker, well gosh darn it, you have to get a striker. Completely ignoring the fact that the new manager plays a version of total football where he wants his players to move into space regardless of what their "position" on paper is.There’s a lot of this doing the rounds at the moment.
‘Oh, we don’t need an incredible striker. We just need two incredible midfielders instead’.
Having a player like Kane is a massive aberration, I looked through the last decade or so and most seasons there are maximum two or three twenty goal scorers in the league. Most teams spread their goals out much more evenly than we have in the Kane era.Madders and Son can get double digits easily. Same for Richie. Porro and Udogie are definitely going to get 5 a piece.

Well we could've probably had Tosin early in the window before Monaco got involved, if we were the only team after him and actually firmed up our interest I can't see why we couldn't have got VDV as well after getting Tosin. Obviously if I had to pick one or the other I'm going VDV all day long but I can't see how picking up Tosin for £12-15m would've jeapordised a move for VDV, being willing to spend £50m on him is a statement of intent that would've allayed any fears he had of playing a bit-part role for us, and we were completely uncontested on his signature. Picking to try and nickel and dime Fulham in the later stages of the window is looking like blowing up in our face as we're gonna miss out to Monaco.Username checks out.
They wanted the situation resolved. That's not the same thing as wanting him gone.
Let's do an Airfixx and actually check what Man City scored before Haaland got there.Madders and Son can get double digits easily. Same for Richie.

I actually don´t give a rats ass if we get Johnson or not!we should of went for vlahovic when juve were keen to sell, now they know we need a forward and will charge alot
i dont think johnson is enough we need more up there at least someone who can finish up front
Let's do an Airfixx and actually check what Man City scored before Haaland got there.
KDB: 15
Sterling: 13
Mahrez: 11
Foden: 9
Gundo: 8
Jesus: 8
Silva: 8
Rodri: 7
Laporte: 4
Total: 83 goals
That's leaving out 7 other scorers who scored 13 between them.
Let's try an picture us replicating that for us:
Son: 15
Maddison: 15 (has never scored more than 12)
Richarlison: 13 (his highest tally in the PL (including pens)
Porro: 5 (highest league tally in Portugal was 4)
Udogie: 5 (highest in Italy was 5 as a WB)
Bentancur: 5 (scored 2 in his entire Juve career)
Bisosuma: 5. (scored 3 goals in 4 seasons at Brighton)
You're looking at 63 goals, which would be one of our lowest scoring seasons since Poch took over. That's with most of the named players matching or beating their best ever goal scoring season, with Bissouma scoring more than his last 5 seasons combined.
Do you see how unrealistic that is?
It's not as simple as "just distribute the goals around". "Yeah, Udogie will get 5 goals, no worries".
Uhmmm, if we manage to move enough players to make room in the squad, I suspect this place will go nutter butters when we make a who the fuck is this guy signing or two.
How did you come to that conclusion? Would be 76 goals, most season we never came close to that, even with Kane. The 16/17 season was the only time we matched or beat that tally.We are averaging 2 gpg in a system which isn't anywhere close to clicking at the moment, we are perfectly capable of keeping up the current scoring rate.
