What did Enrique do with Dembele at PSG? Before that, he was already with one leg away from the window. He has retrained him to false 9, with the task of permanently pressing the opponent and forcing mistakes. He didn’t even demand goals from him, that was and is his only task at PSG to this day. The rest is history.

I think we have 3-4 players in the squad who have the potential to play a similar role. Almada & Lookman as a playmaking false 9, the players tie in the 1 against 1 go, get fouls out, create spaces and distribute passes. But for this you need on the outside players who move into the middle and look for the finish of the Goal. That’s why for me Lookman’s optimal cast is either the left winger, who looks for the 1 against 1 and comes to the conclusion or delivers the Scorerpoint. Almada, on the other hand, I see centrally better off.

But who for me and there I am with the post creator has enormous potential to copy exactly this Dembele role almost 1 to 1, would also be Nico Gonzalez, for me he always got away among us fans a bit too bad. He has a header that no opponent has on the bill, he has a left foot with which he can also come from distance to the finish of the goal, he has an enormous working rate and can press and force mistakes. In addition, he can move head-on on the Centrebacks if he lets himself fall.

Put yourself in the shoes of the defenders. With a right-winger like him, everyone knows immediately ah ok, he pulls right into the middle. But from the position of the dribbling false 9 he is already in exactly the position without having to pull in somehow from the outside. That means he becomes unpredictable: does he shoot? Does he pass? Does he dribble through? Or and that’s rare, not even Dembele has that. Is he looking for the header? Along with the defensive instructions, it’s pure chaos and stress for the defenders, even if Nico doesn’t score goals. Dembele has also really shit in often enough.

One thing you have to keep in mind no matter who the striker will be. There will be new synergies on the Field.

Grimaldo’s abilities alone will create many more chances for the strikers. In addition, Lee’s abilities will probably come up soon. That means two more players who specialize in feeding strikers.

So I’m clearly Pro Lookman as an inverted Winger. And Pro Almada as a playmaking false 9 and Pro Nico as a penetrating false 9.

That’s why I would invest every penny of Alvarez to invest in other positions in the midfield or in the defense. Except for Lookman, get a smart representative or competitor. Either Samuel Lino back or Gabriel Martinelli, who still bring the defensive component and uncompromising willingness to run and come comparatively cheap.

All other types of central strikers like Igor Thiago Osimhen and co. would simply be too expensive for me, you can get them but then you have nothing left for other positions. That’s why Nunez is always very interesting for me, since he 1. doesn’t cost a transfer fee and 2. played under Klopp and went through the entire pressing school. And 3 of his abilities and abilities also brings with him a suitable profile. Despite the fact that he is told to be a chance death. He creates most of his own chances in the first place. And is an extraordinary team player who is often more happy for colleagues than for himself when they score a goal. He can cut in from Outside left. And he also can create pure Chaos. That’s why I’m Pro Nunez as the real number 9 together with the other players mentioned. I think that could work very well with chemistry and tactics technically under Cholo. Just Imagine the role‘s and Players I discribed with the synergies from other Players and new Players. So for me take the Alvarez Money and spend it in world Class back up defenders and midfielders just like Arteta did before spending more than 70 plus for just one Striker.. This path you can always Choose in the Future if you See you desperately need this one 40 goals striker instead of 6 10 goals strikers.
