Hes alright.

He's a step better than Iheanacho. His limitations show when he plays for Brazil and they can't set him up for constant shots in the center of the box. Fantastic finisher but he offers very little otherwise.
Hes a striker.

That's my point...it's no good signing strikers if you ain't got a midfield behind him...
I dunno, I tend to think an actual striker will band aid a few of our issues.

Coleman was given;
City 5.54
Watford 6.25
Newcastle 6.8
In comparison.
Thats fair. Him and Augustin are both 5'8 which ia slightly taller than lookman + similar to Lozano.
I look back at Mexico in the world cup and how their front players counter attacked at rapid speeds and can see Lookman,Lozano, Richarlison and Augustin able to do that.
Rapid, direct counter attacks and all 4 have shown in different teams that they can score goals and interchange positions.
If we needed to use a target man in certain games then looking at DCL yesterday, he made several flicks that our players werent either sharp enough or willing to take chances on...i counted 3 times he swept it across to the right only for Walcott to ball watch.
With these high intensity explosive players i think we would look very dangerous.

International football and club football are completely different. Mexico also got smashed by an underwhelming Sweden team. If that's what your using as your basis for you're dream attack I'd look elsewhere.
Anyway I think Marco sees the future as more of a 4123 system with a deep midfielder and two box to box players and no more #10. So for me you have options with Richarlison Lookman DCL Bernard and Walcott for the time being. Probably should add a left footed RW and another striker.

Don't you think the inner workings of EFC need to be questioned?

Thats because of a massive height and power advantage against Mexicos defence...we would only be playing 4 smaller players in the attacking slots.
You can see the way Lozano drives for both mexico and PSV and the same when Lookman and Augustin played together...if they clicked then it could be devastating.
If we didnt go with a number 10, then Richarlison was moved to the left and say Augustin and Lozano signed in the 2 other positions that could still be effective.
However if that was the strategy, we have Bernard Lookman and soon Onyekuru for the left side who wont hang around if they dont get games.
Bernard and lookman wouldnt be playing as centre midfielders and neither would onyekuru so 2 of these would be punted....

Don't see the need for Augustin as he's similar to what we have but if we get him fine we can make it work. I really think we need someone left footed which Lozano isn't.
I don't want to completely burst your bubble here but Mexico scored 3 goals in 4 games. They really aren't a great example to aspire to. We should be looking at the actual top teams, City, Spurs, Chelsea, Bayern, etc, and figuring out what those teams do. One thing is they rarely play a classic #10 and use a single defensive midfielder.
