Player topic: Sergio Aguero (2015/16)

Probably as much protecting him from Stoke as it is

But he's hardly ever fit. Why is that so difficult to comprehend? I agree with every point you've made but it adds up to precisely fuck all if he's rarely available for selection and even less so for 90 minutes.

Hardly ever ? last season he missed 6 league games and won the golden boot. This season he's had the hamstring and missed a few but this injury a kick on the heel and probably one game missed could happen to anybody anytime. In 4 1/2 seasons he's missed about 42 games so less than 10 a season average. Hardly ever fit, nonsense.

Get another top striker who can do the business while he gets proper healing time.

Getting beyond a joke now. Would you take selling Aguero to Madrid if we had a open door to replace him with someone like Robert Lewandowski.

Yes,and I'm Sergio's biggest fan,just seems to be injured more than he plays these days, every tackle we all hold our breath

Well (and assuming you're talking about the league only), that's marginally over a quarter of all our games, plus there's the additional consideration that it usually takes him 3 or 4 games to get back up to speed again each time afterwards, to be factored in. I love the guy to death, but when you've only got 2 senior strikers on your books, Sergio's absences are becoming a real issue. Still not as bad as Kompany though.......

Bang on...pretty sure there's a few closet rags lurking on this thread...either that or they are fucking clueless cunts

We are top of the league and still in all cup competitions...are they really?

Ok but say he palys 28- 30 league games a season he's still going to score more than almost any replacement that may play 33-35. It's not as if we go on big losing runs when he doesn't play Bony is averageing 1 goal every 2 starts which isn't bad for a back up striker.

I have to agree that the data-less hyperbole some of you spout ("he's rarely fit"; "he always misses matches", etc.) is fucking irritating.

Isn't it likely that this is just precautionary and he's being saved for Tuesday? And maybe Yaya too? Not that I agree with it . . . but we do have a shitload of fixtures coming, including a huge one with that morally-superior North London club. Stoke likes to hack and chop. Bony's physical presence might be a better option anyway.

Didn't work out so well last time resting players for the European game. Got mauled by Liverpool at home & then lost in Europe anyway. At least you could claim for that one that had we won at Juve we'd have topped the group; we're now more than likely stuck in 2nd anyway & already qualified making the Europe game far less important than the PL one. If that were the case it would be a horrible decision.
