Aguero contract situation

‘A tap in merchant without much pace’

Mate, you’d fit right in on soccer Saturday with Merse, Thompson et al with comments like that....

I thought we were over these notions of traditional ways of seeing the game (: I distinctly remember you slating us playing out from the back, early in Peps tenure.....

Playing out from the back? I think you have me confused with someone else pal.

I wouldn't say Aguero is lacking in fitness. If anything he LOOKS in great shape. By the sounds of it he has a recovery based issue to do with knee swelling so the club's been nannying him to avoid flare ups.

I can imagine he'll play well tomorrow, maybe score a goal or two, and then this thread will be filled with SIGN HIM UP.

sadly Aguero is coming to the end of his career, injuries are wearing him down. He always said he wanted to finish of in Argentina, I hope he gets his wish. If he contributes to some success this year I will be happy. Aguero has shown total loyalty to City and never rocked the boat, for that reason he should receive The Colin Bell Greatness Award for services to the City cause.

But right about the old fashioned approach though, right?

If only dean windass was knocking about, we’d clean up (:

Didn't know Dave Whelan broke a bone, he must not like talking about it.

Not as such, depends on how you mean by old fashioned approach. I meant an old fashioned centre forward who like Shearer. Kane is the closest to that nowadays I think. We need someone who can get on the end of crosses and Dzeko was the last striker we had who could. We play two wingers yet not many goals are headers do lack of height from our forward line.

Love the user name mate. I completely agree with the sentiment of your post, I just hope we get the rest of this season and next out of him before he goes back to Argentina. My concern is if he is good enough for a CL rival like PSG then we shouldn’t be letting him go. He has contributed so much to the success of the last 10 years that our love for him runs deep, for me the Silva Aguero combination is the Bell Lee Summerbee of my 40 years supporting this club and I hope the pair of them continue to be a part of the club the same way 2 of that trio did (Lee has muddied his legacy unfortunately).

I disagree. Jesus is a tap in merchant without much pace and when he isn't he's often offside, we need better because he's not good enough to play lone striker IMO. An out and out striker is what we need a big strong old fashioned CF with an eye for goal and good in the air. We can pay what it takes to sign Haaland(or Mbappe). Sign him up.

Fuck right off with that shite......where are you getting that from???? Offside my arse.....

 

[LongsightM13]

A few games and a few goals and Sergio will be fine. He’ll still be here next season as well

I stopped right there . PACE .

He says the same about them all, i dont know how more times it has to happen to get it

I don't think anyone is disputing that we will likely make him some sort of offer to stay at the end of the year. Like you say, we do right by our guys. The choice though is going to come down to Sergio, while I'm sure he can come back if he wants he's not going to be able to start all the big games like he's used to doing, won't be the guy anymore, and generally will have to transition into backup role like Ferna did. I'm not sure if he wants to do that, and it's his right to choose not to. I think expecting Sergio to get back to the way he was at this point in his career is frankly pretty nuts.

Players adapt , you cant go back obviously , if we have one p!ayer who has shown he can do that it is him

I have no doubts Sergio can adapt and be an absolute terror off the bench late in games if he wanted to. I just don't know if he wants to do that yet, which is why I'm not sure he'll be here beyond this season.

You would think blues would have more faith... Sergio is a very mentally strong character... he’s bounced back dozens of times and I wouldn’t bet again’t him having a good second half of the season.

That is the thing about Serge his mental strength. You see so many strikers score in patches/runs as when there confidence goes they start to play differently. Serge has such mental strength his game never changes. When he is back, fit, the goals will flow as always

 

[Revolver]

He’s only 32. Trust in Pep but I really hope we get at least another year.

 

[oddfellows]

Plus Haaland just scored

 

[Bilboblue]

Aguero will stay, and play with his best mate at City next season.

Not worried about his mental strength or his commitment it’s his knee we should be worried about!
