In what world is it an 'insult' to hope or suggest that a young player could become better than another player in the future? If he'd said "He's got a way better all-round game than Aguero" or "His runs make Aguero look lazy" then fine. But he didn't. He inferred that "with luck", Julian could have that kind of potential because of his great skillet.

It's not an attack on Sergio in the slightest. In fact, it's a compliment to both players. Kun set the bar so incredibly high that we can only dream of having more players who can reach those kinds of standards. And the very idea that Julian might eventually get there is also a high level of praise for the lad and the hard work he's put in so far.

Certain posters here seem to take any compliment of one player as a terrible attack on another. It's like the Ederson/Ortega situation. We should root for all our players and hope they can all be the best they can be. There's nothing wrong with that.

I hope the next CB we sign is better than Vinny. Does that mean I'm calling Vinny shit or tarnishing his legacy? Of course not. He's my favourite player of all time. I just hope and wish for every City player to be amazing and for us to keep on raising that bar. It doesn't take anything away from the legends who have already made their names in City history and will never be forgotten.

Well, when someone compares Aguero with Alvarez and you say "don't insult Aguero" it doesn't convey a very nice message towards Julian. But i get your point mate, don't worry.
 
He is at his best when playing with another striker ,I have not been impressed with him when he has started as a lone striker ,does not have the raw pace and physicality to play as a lone striker.

He's rarely had any feed for clear shots when he played as the only striker, i saw him many times having to feed himself from scraps (many of them from mistakes or bad clearances from the opponent).

Can't really judge him as a lone striker from the sparingly minutes he got there playing on B City sides.

Julián's best performances of his career have come as a lone striker, both in River and with Argentina.
