I always saw the Aguero leaving as the club being as clear as possible that the new striker would be the clubs no1 main plan. Something Halaand himself referred to.
What better signal could you send a prospective recruit that you were serious about them being the main man and the old sweetheart was not still hanging around making doe eyes waiting for the next get together for old times sake

i don’t think it was a mistake just taking advantage of the situation

was wrong was last 4 not 5 correct on 15/16 but rest are:

16/17 - Chelsea won with 93
17/18— we won with 100
18/19 - we won with 98
19/20- Liverpool won with 99

17/18 - 86 would have won too.

You can't expect us to beat our own points total surely? :)

Out of curiosity, which strikers out there are "Sergio level" for you?

Thing is we didn't know Sergio was going to be Sergio level before we bought him.

Second place team in 17/18 had 81 points, so if we'd mirrored our 86 of last year we would have still won the league that year. Ergo, 86 points is/was enough to win 3 of the past 6 leagues

Yes, my point though we could bring in somebody that splits opinion now, for example Martinez, could be a big success or not. Impossible to judge though the day we buy him. Always best to wait and see.I'm sure if we went back to before buying Aguero there would be posters doubting him and suggesting player x would be far better.

Worth noting we got 86 points last year after an unprecedented bad start, likely caused due to the complete lack of preseason.
