[jimharri]

Cheeky bid for Lukaku?

[Sky Blue Thinking]

On a slightly different subject. I can’t ever remember us bringing a prolific scorer through the youths.
I always though Paul moulden was going to be the one but it never quite worked out. He broke records for fun at youth level.
David White has probably been the closest.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Ihenacho had a decent scoring ratio but doesnt seem to have kicked on since his move to Leicester, we got decent money from him and he made an important contribution to our PL title with that late miss for Leicester.
One or two others like Sheron showed potential but tailed off, and others who were squad regulars like Bradley WP weren't the answer...although the question was different then.

Just looked at Soccerbase?

Jesus bought Summer 2016 so in 3 seasons, 35 league games (27 goals)
Aguero - Summer 2011 8 seasons, 210 league games (164 goals)

Not sure about last season, just appears that Aguero always missed a chunk of each season he's been here and Jesus has had a couple of bad ones injury wise.

No back up but Pep must be looking surely?

Jesus has played 68 league games in 2.5 seasons with city, he officially joined in January 17

 

[Corky]

Mitrovic £25m as backup.

 

[Chi-town blues]

We have a top drawer but injury prone pair, in Aguero and Jesus.
Outside these, he has a go with Raheem up top, but he's no centre forward.
I believe we need a back up.
There doesn't appear to be anyone in the reserves looking like making the shift up to a truly specialist position, so Who's available?
He would have to accept playing second fiddle to the above pair, so probably somebody very young, like Felix at Benfica, although rumours that Atletico have him, or perhaps a Cavani?

Shiny new ?

I think the figures on Soccerbase must be games started. Must be sub the rest

Think Felix is headed to A. Madrid. As my Muslim friend said, "Fine, jao, Joao"

;)

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Rashford? Unhappy at the Rags, proven goal scorer, World Cup semi finalist, used to winning trophies. We'd pay his wage demands as we pay well over the odds for our own English players. He'd also replace Aguero without missing a step, I'd actually say he could replace him now, he's at that level already and still young.

As Malcolm Allinson once said with cigar in hand "Do me a favour"

 

[Blue and still suffering]

I'll give it a go, but I can't do Monday nights or every other Wednesday.

We don't need another Pogba

Fyi,
on an equivalent pace Jesus would have 162 goals after 210 games to Sergio's 164, but i'm positive Jesus's minutes per game are less, and he is only 23 yrs old.
It's always a big if, but i expect Jesus will have better numbers than Aguero when all is said and done. "IF" he stays long and stays healthy.
and that's saying something as I am a fervent Sergio fan.

edit: Based on i guess 35 starts as he has 68 league appearances.
and Aguero has 239 appearances.

 

[mikemcfc]

Yep the club will be forward planning. Aguero has missed games in the past and the fact it seems to take him a few games to get back his game sharpness makes it worse. I wouldn't call either of them injury prone though mate. A lot of Jesus lack of games is because he cannot force Aguero out of the picture.

True all that,
and a good indication of Gabriel's potential are his cup results.
FA Cup 5 goals in 6 games
League Cup 5 goals in 9 games
Champs. League 8 goals in 15 games
18/30
A rather nice return.

agreed, like i think Sir Winston Churchill said "Fuck'en 'ell, NO!"

Totally disagree..KUN is a little warrior. He gets kicked shitless any in jury's are usually impact hardly his fault.
Jesus has had one bad knee as far as I can recall but apart from that not really much else.
Won't even embarrass you by defending RAZ. Did we score 160 goals in all comes last year? More than anyone since time began.....
