The reason why some (myself included) prefer Mbappe is because he like Sane, Sterling and Jesus can also play wide as we as centrally.
So in essenas you have 3 positions that would be rotated btw 4 guys who can all start anywhere in that front 3.
The complexity and headache for other teams trying to prepare for us alone would probably be worth it.
If he pans out. I think he will.He looks very good.
In football when you're good enough you're old enough. I want to remind as many as balk at the idea of replacing Sergio Aguero with a mere 18 year old that If Jesus was not injured, Aguero wouldnt be starting most games. Yes I'm talking about Jesus the 19 year old. He'd be starting ahead of Aguero.
People forget that there are 2 sides to a gamble. We have highlighted the 'what if he fails' bit and given next to zero attention to the other possibility that he might just become the next big thing. Everything in life is a gamble including the choice to wake up and hit the streets and that's why people take calculated risks all the time.
If we don't sign him we have no control over who does be it a rival in the EPL or some club in faraway Spain
I canot tell if he'll make the cut here but I've been watching him closely since our first meeting with Monaco. This guy is a star in the making. Its all well and good if he doesn't come to ours but I'd be absolutely livid if he goes to any rival EPL club. Quite frankly I'd be surprised if he doesn't make the cut here. He's got about everything.
Top post. I think it's Madrid, us, or PSG.
My vibe is he probably won't move this summer though so Kun may get a reprieve.
All that talk about flat track bully is silly. I don't buy into it. I do sense Sergio's talent seems to be dwindling though. Might be adaptation pains or might be a sign of the beginning of a decline. I'm not totally sure.Fair point but GB can also play out wide with Sergio as the main striker.
I get what your saying but to say Sergio can't fit into the system is frankly fucking ludicrous, some on here saying he's only scoring against cannon fodder, only 3 in 11 blah blah blah . Another season at least for me with Sergio as there's no guarantee GJ will be a roaring success next season.

The sentiment argument is trotted out by morons. It's Sergio Aguero we're talking about, a player who if indeed we were daft enough to sell would attract suitors of the very highest quality. That in itself should tell you what the football world think of him. The fact that there are people claiming he's been terrible this season when in fact his game is improving is also a bit baffling. Yes, he's missed chances this season, some important ones which I guess is the main reason some are turning on him but make no mistake, he's one of the very best in the business at what he does and selling him would be foolish.He deserves another season at least and its not through sentiment I say that, he was on fire before his bans, all strikers go through lean periods in a season-hes set the bar so high that any drop off becomes noticeable, hes a world class striker of that there is no doubt, every club in world football more or less would have him at their club.
He will be back with a vengeance imo -Id play the GJ and SA , that would mean three at the back though, getting the defence right is the key to it all for me.
Do you not think that over the last few seasons the standard of his all round game has dropped , passing control of the ball and decision making?The sentiment argument is trotted out by morons.

I think it's improved over the last four months and given chance would continue to do so.Do you not think that over the last few seasons the standard of his all round game has dropped , passing control of the ball and decision making?

I hope that's more of a suggestion that they spent a lot for him and now he's finally settled meaning they have what they need(if it aint broke...) than trying to say Cavani is a better striker than Aguero because that would be bullshit he'd piss the French league our Kun.Why would PSG want him? They've got Cavani who's scored 38 goals in 39 games for them this season. He's finally looking like the world class striker they bought from Napoli, it would make no sense to replace him with Aguero.
It has to be fair to himI think it's improved over the last four months and given chance would continue to do so.

It has to be fair to him
But the other big problem for me is that he has been sussed out by opposition defenders most have played against him a far few times now and they up there game against Aguero
Well maybe they are aiming higher than the domestic title now(Kun would piss that league too as I said), champions league remember? Kun is a better striker than Cavani no doubt about that for me. I agree I don't think that's a likely destination just wanted to be clear you weren't saying that it wouldn't be an improvement for them.They have a striker who is more than good enough. He makes mincemeat of the French League and scored a bundle in the champions league too. He's got 38 bloody goals this season! No one looks at that and thinks, "hmm what we need to do is spend £70m on a new striker!" particularly when neither of them can play out wide and definitely when the striker in question is having his worst season in 10 years.
He still regularly makes some of his goals look very easy too though with just his movement alone, how many times does he find space infront of them(near post check his goal highlights this season.. does that look like they've worked out how to stop him?) even when they know a cross is coming and they have all eyes on him he still outfoxes them.Taken them 4 seasons though !
They will suss out Jesus aswell in time.
Unless Jesus adapts his game unlike Aguero
They've played against the old Aguero though, the one who used to have to provide the spark himself with individual moments of magic. The team we're building now and the way we set up means that we'll create many more chances. Defenders having played against him before bears no relevance to what I expect from us over the next couple of seasons. A fit and firing Aguero is the best option for City, I've no doubt about that.It has to be fair to him
But the other big problem for me is that he has been sussed out by opposition defenders most have played against him a far few times now and they up there game against Aguero
The same Aguero who has indeed adapted his game this season?Unless Jesus adapts his game unlike Aguero
