Pep's fullback fetish: 5 reasons why spending so much on fullbacks could backfire

#5 Ignoring another important position - Striker

City need further depth in the striker department

Engrossed in his nonstop chase of fullbacks, Pep seems to have forgotten that he is on the brink of going into the season with just one injury prone striker and a 20-year-old prodigy to choose from. Wilfried Bony will almost certainly leave the club, and it would be surprising if Patrick Roberts isn’t sent out for another loan spell. Iheanacho has already left to join Leicester City.

Earlier in the window, City had been hopeful of signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal. That deal looks unlikely to come off now, so City must quickly regroup and focus their efforts on securing one more striker at the very least. Mbappe rumours refuse to go away, yet City would be ill advised to be optimistic on that front either.

Enough with the full backs already, Pep. Sign a striker.
