Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola still does not know whether he will buy a striker this summer.
City’s pursuit of Tottenham striker Harry Kane has dominated the transfer window, but Spurs insist their star man is not for sale and City have yet to make an offer that might tempt them to change their mind.
There is just over a week until the window shuts and with time running out, Guardiola said bringing in a new frontman is still a “maybe”.
“When we decide to not sign a contract for Aguero and people say what we’re going to do, I said many times: it’ll depend on the market, the options,” he said.
“Maybe we buy or maybe we’ll not. We still have 10 days in the transfer market, we’re going to see what happens, and it depends on that what decision we are going to take.
“If the team is the same one, I said before the 5-0, I’m more than pleased with the team. I know them really well, they know me really well.
“We put in incredible energy this week to realise that still we want to be there, to try to compete with the good teams in England and good teams in Europe.
“We want to be there. The group of people are fantastic, the players have incredible quality, so I cannot complain.
“I’ve never complained since I arrived day one, I will not do it now, but of course the club has an obligation, the duty to look forward, to get better, to feel we can still be there with a tough Premier League and this is what we are going to do.”
These Guardiola’s comments has prompt Plenty of Sky Blues to react on social media.
Just sign a striker and stop with the mind games ffs

Not what you were saying before when you said the key is to change your squad and not just keep the same players as they’ll get complacent. I wonder why you’re now suddenly pretending it’s fine with 10 days left of the transfer window and no Kane progress

Mister Khaldoon promised a high-level replacement for Kun in his interview at the end of the season, I hope he keeps his word.
