Been thinking of him for the past week.

With his stint with City deemed almost a flop. And will have spent a good 1.5 years with them. He could be had at a fairly reasonable price.

I think he could be the ideal candidate for us. Our style doesn't necessarily need a ST.
A CF is all we need. Guy has his scoring instincts. He just isn't a target man. And also lacks height.

But with an attacking CAM behind him, like Fermin, he would be deadly. Or along with Raphinha, who usually drifts into the middle, and plays almost like a CF.
He has the passing chops, pressing ability and finishing. Almost like a mini Alveres.

It doesn't mean I don't want us to pursue a ST.
A ST like Kane or Halland is better for us. But it wont be cheap, and in case of Kane it will be short term again for like 2-3 years. And you never know, how fast he falls off.

And I still think Raphinha can play this role well, while we can field Rashy - Rapha - Yamal as our front three.

I agree. I think he would be good for us. City build everything around Haaland which means the other forwards take a secondary role. Our front line has more equality and everyone chips in. He can play lw too.
Don't know his valuation currently but I think we could get him for 40 million. Alvarez would be 80 million.
