But to be fair he could have got a big move for the past couple of seasons, yet he's decided to stick with Atletico

Just watched that, his finishing is absolutely clinical, by far the standout attribute for me

Sorry I didn't realise pedantry was a pre requisite to post on here

Didn't they say the exact same thing about 48 hours ago?

Not a bad shout at all. Versatile too.

Lmao, so basically according to that dipper, he won't come here because it will piss off everyone else that we've got him. YCMIU

Weren't Argentina widely considered pretty wank in the Copa though?

Yeah it'd only concede about 12 goals a game :p

How reliable is this journo? And similarly, are Marca the Spanish equivalent of the Star or are they usually pretty decent?

No but if his club would be getting 40 mil plus whetehr they sell him to us or Madrid. I'm sure, for example, Campbell didn't hate Spurs by all accounts but he went on a free in order to get more money/satisfy his ambitions of playing at a higher level. There is no reason why Aguero would NOT...

It's happened so many times before in the history of football though. Campbell, Figo, Mo Johnston (via Nantes but the point remains valid). Just because we all want Aguero to come here doesn't mean the possibility of him going to Madrid is lessened, especially given the comments about Atletico...

Some serious rumours on twitter that espn south america have said he's announced or is going to announce in the next few days that he's signed for madrid

Regardless of specifics, the player still moved to a rival. As I said, that's one example. Point is, despite all the posturing of 'we will never sell to Madrid' Ateltico certainly will if they come in and offer the right amount and Aguero wants to go. If I remember correctly he's even left the...

Don't believe that for a minute really. Fierce rivalries don't stop players moving or make clubs unwilling to sell to each other if the price is right and the player is willing. I mean you couldn't get a more fierce rivalry than Barca-Madrid and Figo went over, to cite one of the numerous...

For me, the danger is Madrid. If for some reason Atletico were willing to sell to them, they would go for him over Tevez no question, it makes much more sense. Same fee, younger, used to the league etc. We just have to hope that City act fast and get Aguero wrapped up ASAP before we lose the...

Hmmm interesting that's a direct quote..

Couldn't agree more

Fair point, but he plays a completely different role to one he did when he had pace, he's not the flying winger he was. Kaka has been played in practically the same position and asked to perform a similar role and the evidence is he's just not as effective as he once was in that position. For...

It's different if you once had pace though as if it underpinned your game and you suddenly lost it, especially at the age of 28/29 like Kaka is, it's more difficult to adapt. The likes of Zidane as you rightly say never had it, so their entire game since starting playing was based on not needing...

The technical ability is still there, that's true, but Kaka's burst of pace to drive the team forward was his trademark. With that gone he'll be a different player and possibly not as effective.
