Injury Updates

[BLUEMATT23]

Can we loan a striker from the championship?

 

[WestGorton]

now he’s injured we can look forward to a false 9 instead of giving delap a go up top. we need Jesus back desperately.

Seems Jesus is as injury prone too. Big miss. I do agree we need another now. Aguero can then be used more sparingly.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

This is bang on. Both decent players but not together. Way too slow. That starting eleven was never going to work just like the first half v Porto. Also don’t understand why Torres doesn’t play ahead of mahrez.

Don't understand Mahrez over Torres either. Guess it's easier to leave young lads out, instead of so called established players.

 

[dhruvblue]

Aguero spends half of each season injured and is 34!!! Do u not think he needed help?

we should have sold him then. We play one striker and can't have 3 for them.Besides he is not 34

Then why buy him? Major summer signing and hasn’t had a look in. Should have started after sub performance on weds

 

[Beanhead]

I'm of the opinion Aguero is close to the end,his body isn't built for longevity and his lack of enthusiasm for training is legendary.These constant niggles that have plagued him for the past few years have caught up with him,he is now a player we cannot rely on unfortunately.

I totally agree.

He’s also 35/36 odd in footballing years as he started playing at the highest level after just turning 15. Fucking 15! Pretty much a regular when fit ever since for club and country.

Basically he has had 17 year senior pro career and counting.. most players are lucky to break into the first team by the time they are 20.. hardly any are still playing at 37!

Having read his book he played a ludicrous amount of football when he was a kid and personally surprised he hasn’t burnt out sooner given his injuries and general robust frame.

I see the score at 1-1 and up steps a player, a big moment.



Everybody heard this kind of stuff about Barry when he was here as well.

1. I rated barry highly - much better player than gundogan
2 i said rarely steps up...and in that game he was also shit baring that free kick...a ppint proven by the fact that he was about to be hooked when he took ir

 

[simon23]

Like the deciding goal against Porto didn't happen?

I said rarely amd he was shit in that game as well and was about to be hooked when he took olit and was shortly after

 

[WestGorton]

But he won it.

He is 32.

 

[Beanhead]

He is 32.

I am aware of that. What I was alluding too is he started playing regular senior football at the top level at least 5 years earlier than most. He made his senior debut in the Argentinian league a few weeks after his 15th Birthday. Name me another player in the league that was playing at that level at that age.

A 17/18 year senior career is about as long as you get at this level.

No such thing as footballing years. He needs another year.. another striker signed. and be used in the Chumps league as a priority. In my opinion

I stand corrected ... but my point remains

Fair enough. We all have an opinion. I just think we let legends go at our peril. I understood David leaving but blimey he isn't here anymore and we miss him even at 50 per cent.

 

[Cotswold Knight]

Surely this is the end for Aguero at City, will be surprised if he gets offered another contract

 

[Eoiyflem]

We don't need A striker, we meet AT LEAST 2 strikers. That prick across the city Woodward gets massive stick, and rightly so but our recruitment and our seeming lack of strategy re. Strikers and left backs has been nothing short of a disgrace.

 

[cleavers]

Just in: Pep Guardiola has suggested Sergio Aguero has sustained a hamstring injury

He spent the last 5 minutes of the first half walking around the centre circle so not surprised.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Striker is not our issue right now despite not having a fit and firing one. We’re not creating chances anyway, let’s start creating chances for a striker first then we can bemoan not having one.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Fucking Hamstring as well. When’s Jesus back? He’s going to have to step the fuck up.
