That's not a knock. Either would be great ;)Not knocking the player but he does remind me of Tevez than Aguero.

Thats a goal every 164 minutes. That is decent for someone who is just turned 23 playing behind the main striker, Shearer only scored a goal roughly every 150 minutes.
Shearer is your point of reference?? Either way I still don't think that would fill the gap that Aguero would leave considering the fee he'd go for. If we're in for him I wouldn't be too bothered but I feel we could be targeting someone better.

Or a combination of the two ;). Just to be a little serious I don't think we need any more attacking players just yet. If Kun decides to leave in the summer then that is another matter and we will probably end by smashing our our transfer record in signing a replacement Dybala isn't in that range.

Agreed on Aguero. My sense is he wouldn't stay unless he is the starter or a starter. Whether Gabriel is moved permanently to the wings while Aguero is here or Pep switches to 2 strikers to accommodate both. But Aguero simply will not do a rotation or squad thing.Or a combination of the two ;). Just to be a little serious I don't think we need any more attacking players just yet.

And I understand. If I had achieved what Aguero had achieved (Frankly he is the best Striker to ever play in the league), I will not accept rotation either.
But if things don't get resolved, then he's a legit option. Sadly one that would be costly.
For what it's worth I think he is a fantastic scorer, Dybala, and has a keen eye for goal and movement around the box. He is a bit like Sane in being painfully one footed. Could go on to become quite an accomplished striker.
That aaid, his ball control is a little iffy, his passing in tight spaces is a bit wayward, and he has bouts of tunnel vision Where he goes it alone. Kinda like Aguero but with a bit more skill.

Yeah definitely, 10-15 years ago. The league and football in general has changed dramatically, but that's a whole different topic. The only thing I hadn't thought about with Dybala is he's playing in a much more defensive league, Italy has a lot of monster centre halves and tactically defensive systems. If he was to come here he could take that experience and use it to fire in a lot more goals.

I agree on that and not totally against the signing and Dybala is probably top of our list of targets but this seems more of a Cavani type of saga and in terms of being overvalue.
