Don't think Spurs will ever sell and he doesn't seem desperate to leave. He'll end up with a League/FA Cup at most once he's retired. Sad, but ah well.
Besides that I can't really see us going for somebody at 28 for an Aguero replacement, especially not somebody that's had as many ankle injuries as him, think eventually those ankle injuries will be career shortening.

Yeah, I was sure Aguero would break Shearer's record, but now he might not beat Rooney's. They'll catch you.
 
I’d have Harry Kane if we didn’t get Haaland. Spurs will need the money if they don’t get CL football again. You’d probably only get 5 years at most though as an elite goal scorer and that might not be enough for a fee of over £100m.
5 years? can't see it the way with his recurring injuries.He's 28 in a few months so on the decline too,with no resale.

If not Haaland,we need to be finding a player of the right quality in their early twenties who will not need replacing for a long time.

Nah, not for me. If he was 24/25, then he would have been my number one target. In three years time, Kane will be 30+ with dodgy ankles. Haaland is 20, bangs goals in for fun and with plenty of potential to improve further.

It wasn’t about if we should get Kane over Haaland but about who is the best striker we could get if we can’t get Haaland :)
 
It’s the one time the hierarchy need to be arrogant and pay the extra money to get erling! I really can’t imagine his old man advising his boy to not come here?
 
Haaland would be coming in as first choice, otherwise he won’t be coming. Jesus is a good 2nd striker for the squad and would definitely keep him but he bottles too many big chances. He’s not a natural finisher and he’s not good enough to be our first choice forward with the ambitions we have.

From watching Haaland it’s clear that like Aguero he is a natural finisher. When Jesus has time to think you can never be confident he’s going to score, a bit like Sterling. Aguero / Haaland will just ruthlessly bag goals without too much thought.
So last night's goal was a fluke then, is that what your saying?

Sometimes he scores great goals, that doesn’t make him a great goalscorer! He misses good chances regularly. He is not clinical in front of goal.

I still like him. He is a good player to have in the squad, a good back up and he is a grafter. There’s no chance I’d sell him.

You said he's not a natural finisher and that one last night certainly didn't fall into that category, nor the one he pulled out of the sky and lob the Southampton keeper in the centurions season.

He’s not a natural finisher mate. If you think he is I’d question if you’ve played the game.
 
Come the Summer we will see.

No it was a great goal but hes 100% right he misses far to many chances

Last night sums him up, at times way out of position when needing someone on the end of passes or crosses, always taking that extra touch or trying to go back & beat the defender another 2 times & flicking everything as if hes on the fucking beach in Brazil
The kid has bags off talent & works his arse off & played well last night but in the 3 years I've seen him he misses to many to lead the City attack week in week out

Haaland finishes way more imo but would still like to keep Gabby & lose Aguero knowing hes on last man chance, he breaks down again then he's packing his bags in the Summer no chance City give Sergio 12 month deal anywhere near the £250.000 a week hes on & the last 10 months of hi struggling to get fit

Big decisions ahead especially if we are in for Haaland & Messi
