Player topic: Sergio Aguero (2015/16)

[SWP's back]

While I agree in principle, if you could change the car names to actual footballers, I'd like to see who you'd class as a Bugatti (and is available etc)

Unlike many on here, I don't play enough Champs Manager to know every striker in the world. I'd be hoping our management team would be able to pick a non injury prone striker for £50m plus.

So him huddled over feeling his lower leg, then limping off and around the pitch didn't happen?

He got a 'tap on the ankle', not an 'injury' as confirmed by MP.

He's not exactly one to play through the pain barrier, 'tap' or not.

He jumped to head the ball and on the way down,looked like he twisted his ankle slightly no contact with any player ...

The substitution had been authorised before the 'tap'. You can call of the witch hunt.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

he is a wuss to be fair.

You didn't see him limping off then? He twisted his ankle on landing.

And no witch hunt, just an honest assessment.

Regardless if he was injured or not today, the amount of time he spends being injured or "being not so great while coming back from injuries" kills lot of his brilliance and value to the team so I'm not very hostile to SWP's thinking. It would be hard to find replacement though. I'd do it for Neymar or Suarez and would be very tempted with Alexis Sanchez. Can't see anyone else who is close to be as good.

I'm not quite subscribed to the idea of selling him, I'd keep him regardless.

But it is vital that we are prepared for his absenses and we are ready for life after him.

Absolutely this.

Selling him would risk upsetting the equilibrium of the squad. He's our talisman and I believe we owe him a significant degree of loyalty and indulgence for a number of reasons.

It's possible that he won't be the main man, attacking wise, for as long as we anticipated, but that doesn't mean he should be readily dicarded. He needs more quality around him in the attacking part of the squad to reduce our overarching reliance upon him.

He's willingly given us his best years and is owed the benefit of the doubt in return, imo.

Pmsl.

You get the impression he would limp out of the bathroom having just brushed his teeth sometimes ;-)
