Aguero would be sold because there's no way of having Mbappé, Sanchez, Sterling, Sané, Jesus *and* Aguero.

It's a really obvious idea, Mbappé is going to be a once in a generation player so you move Aguero on a year or 2 early. You miss out on a few goals this season but are paid back several times over in time and you've also got better interplay between the front 3 so you get more goals overall even if Mbappé scores fewer individually than Aguero would.

I don't want it to happen, I want to see Aguero stay and I'm pretty sure he will, but I completely understand the reasoning behind the move if it happens.

If it's Sanchez and Mbappe then i could understand yes, but that wasn't wat the OP said he just said Mbappe would put doubt on Aguero's future to which I'd disagree and I'm sure you would aswell.

This notion of 1/2 years down the line is exactly why it won't happen, a cliche but timing is everything and it just doesn't fit our timeline. Make no mistake, we have to win the league this year (or compete until the end), aguero will be expected to go out on a bang, cementing his legacy, the club simply won't offer him up.... now if mbappe can come in under the knowledge he'll have to wait then fine, I very much doubt it though....

This is their business plan and this year their crop of purchases made good so from a financial standpoint they will sell as many players as they can and start all over again, perhaps a year or two without any success but profits this year more than compensate for a couple of barren years.

No chance. We've been building towards this coming season for at least the last 3, with getting Pep in and acquiring the players he wants. it's all in for these next two seasons, there's no way we willingly lose Aguero for Mbappe with a few years time in mind.

It's not with a few years in mind though, if you're going to reply to my post at least read it.

"you've also got better interplay between the front 3 so you get more goals overall even if Mbappé scores fewer individually than Aguero would."

There's the bit you apparently didn't get to. 2 sentences in.

I never mentioned anything about the team's performance dropping in the short term. Don't know where you've got that impression.
 
Should offer them £40m+£5-7m in add-ons to get this deal done. Txiki then can focus on selling players and Bertrand + CB or DM

I got that impression because replacing Mbappe with Aguero right now weakens us. The guy is very good and will eventually be amazing, he's not currently better than Aguero though.

Who's to say you get better interplay? Aguero at the back end of last season shown he's more than capable of getting involved with the buildup and doing what Pep wants him to do, it's not like he's just a poacher that doesn't fit in with the team. His understanding with someone like Silva or Yaya for example is based on half a decade of playing together and you think Mbappe coming in would automatically offer more to our build up play, based on what exactly?

Aguero is the better player and the better fit right now. Losing him for Mbappe weakens us this season

Anyway, apologies for adding to the off-topic conversation, i'll keep it strictly on topic from here on in.
