# Man City: Fans rage at Pep Guardiola comments

**Pep Guardiola has revealed that it is not certain whether Manchester City will sign a striker during this summer transfer window.**

Earlier this summer, the Citizens allowed Sergio Aguero to leave on a [free transfer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-aguero/transfers/spieler/26399) – he has since made the move to Barcelona ([fcbarcelona.com](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/2163393/fc-barcelona-sign-sergio-kun-aguero)). However, they have not yet signed a new centre-forward, and although results like the 5-0 win over Norwich City suggest they have plenty of ability elsewhere, the preceding 1-0 defeats to Tottenham and Leicester City indicate that they need to bring one in.

Guardiola has been discussing City’s transfer dealings, and he admitted the club will sign a new striker only if the transfer window allows ([via City Xtra](https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/transfer-rumours/pep-guardiola-pleased-with-manchester-city-squad-but-does-not-rule-out-more-signings-this-summer)), saying: ““When we decided not to extend the contract of Sergio Aguero and people asked what we would do, I said many times it would depend on the market.

“Maybe we will buy, maybe not. It is still the same situation. I will never complain. I have never complained since day one and I will not do it now.”

This has not pleased some City supporters, who believe that a new forward should have been a priority. The comments were shared on Twitter by [@City\_Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1429557490715447299), and they attracted plenty of attention from supporters.

These fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
