Player topic: Sergio Aguero (2014/15)

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I would actually like us to sell Aguero.

Of course he has done great things for us and is a fantastic player, but so much so that we bend our style to suit his game, to the extent that it is to the detriment of the overall performance of the team.

We need to play one striker up front to fully maximise our game, and Aguero has neither the height nor the goal-hanging instinct to play this role for us. To ensure our wingers' and fullbacks' attacking efforts are rewarded and that we utilise the extra dimension to the attack they can provide we need someone in the Bony or Cavani mould to lead the line for us, not Aguero.

Extra runners from midfield would help, but given his injury record and probable transfer fee set against FFP, I would sell.

You post some brilliant gifs mate.

I would sell Hart, Zaba, Kompany, Silva, Nasri and Fernandinho as well. I m sure we can find some replacements at Arsenal or in Portugal.

If you want a gif, you're gonna have to do better than that.

Or maybe our next manager will get Aguero passing the ball occasionally and let him know he's not as good at dribbling as he thinks he is.

Would that be the same Aguero who has more assists this season than David Silva, set up Dzeko with an incredible pass at Anfield and then put a great chance on a plate to Silva only for him to miscontrol it at Burnley? Sometimes he does hang on to the ball too much, but many of the best players have a selfish side. If you had a pound for every wasted Ronaldo shot you'd be swimming in gold. Aguero is not too selfish and passes more than enough.

And the idea of selling Aguero is fallacy... yes let's sell possibly the only remaining genuine world class player in our team (Silva is still an excellent player but this season I think his standard has fallen). Cavani and Bony are not fit to lace his boots and this is the same Aguero who put 4 past Spurs playing as a lone striker with the team was functioning better then.

How about we give Aguero the teammates he deserves and our first world class coach of the takeover era to train him (Pep or Ancelotti perhaps)?

That pass at Anfield was brilliant but a lot of the time it feels like he's reluctant to pass to Dzeko and a few of our other players. Some of it is a lack of awareness eg. Kolarov bombing forward wide open on the left vs Villa and Aguero turns back the other way. Tevez was accused of being selfish a lot but he had fantastic vision and awareness of his teammates and was always likely to set them up. Don't think Aguero needs to drop back beside Silva and the like to get on the ball as much as he does.

I also think it's a lack of trust. I can see in his demeanor this season that Kun doesn't think some of his teammates are good enough to be trusted to finish the job so he'll try and do it himself. He does pass when it really is the right thing to do quite a lot though.

And what word class striker are we going to get to replace him with? ..... He's probably top 3 in the world and unlike some of the other prima-donnas like Nasri and Yaya he's got a great attitude ??? Suarez, Aguero, Costa ... everyone else seems to be a level down .... there's no way we'll sell this guy...

wouldn.t sell him at any price.

yet, towards the end of last season i honestly thought he was being a bit precious, nursing himself back from injury and not wanting to miss the world cup, i got the impression the world cup was more important to him than the league title..i may be wrong.
his attitude is for the most part spot on and certainly better than nasri and yaya.

Nice troll. But I'll bite.

He got all the way to the final despite having an injury. He'd be mad not to nurse himself in order to get to the world cup and play for your country. A lesser player would of sought to not play at all like Jovetic, but Aguero didn't.

He burst a lung against the likes of Tottenham away, so much so the only way Tottenham could deal with him was for Dawson to nudge Aguero at full speed so that his hamstring went.

I wish Kun nursed himself more.

Best player we've got, we just don't get enough out of him. Kun is like Ronaldo, he needs a team to perform to his best and far too many times the rest have let him down. Slightly off topic but I remember last season where everyone was comparing kun and Suarez, not sure anyone would choose Kun over Suarez now.

Aguero over Suarez, all day.

This is nonsense. The ONLY better player than Kun atm is Messi. Would not swap him for Ronaldo, Suarez etc...

Some strange comments by pellegrini in the sun how he doesn't want to talk about agueros future. Please don't leave Sergio!

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini hopes they can convince Sergio Aguero he can achieve his ambitions with them.

Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to be linked with the 26-year-old but City boss Manuel Pellegrini thinks showing him they can compete with the best in Europe will be key next season.

"It is very difficult for me to answer for Kun (about his future)," said Pellegrini.

"What happened in the last few years was that we had to play against Barcelona both times and it is not easy.

"If we improve every year then at some time we will arrive at the same level as Barcelona.

"The most important thing for Sergio is to win titles and this season we didn’t."
