Hello, how important is Agger to your development? Knowing his injury record yet class etc would 18 mil be a good deal for you
I think people way overestimate the value of having £18m. It will still take at least £10m to replace him and we're a week away from the first game of the season. You have no guarantee that the player coming in will settle or be anywhere near as good. If anyone could turn around and take the money to replace him adequately you wouldn't need to buy him in the first place.
Daniel is the quintessential CB to play in the type of system Rodgers likes so I think it would be a huge mistake to sell him. Ball playing centre halfs of his quality are hard to find and I think you hang onto them if you can. His injury problems over the last two years haven't been serious, both times it was a cracked rib problem which could have happened to anyone. His more serious injuries haven't recurred in at least two years. Slightly worried that when he gets older all the wear and tear will mean it won't be able to play much past 30.
