Current Aguero is a 35-year-old ex-player with heart issue and completely out of shape to play at the highest level.
Haaland has also fair share of big match winning moments (United, Bayern, Liverpool, Arsenal etc.)
A striker is judged for his goalscoring production. The main objective in a football game is to win games by outscoring your opponent.
With Haaland, Man City have basically a 1-0 lead before the game has even started.
I am a massive, massive fan of Haaland. But with your reasoning of "having more to his game", do you assume the likes of Alexander Isak, Darwin Nunez, Julian Alvarez, Gabriel Jesus, Ivan Toney etc. are superior all-around strikers than Haaland for that reason? And I haven't even mentioned strikers outside the Prem.
Produce goals out of nothing ≠ better player
Looking Haaland and Aguero respective numbers between the age of 18-23, it's safe to assume Haaland's stats completely blows Aguero out of the water in comparison.
If Man City needed a striker and both Haaland and Aguero were available on the market as 21 year olds, everyone would choose Haaland without a doubt.
Absolutely, and this is something a lot of people don't really seem to realize. Haaland makes loads of runs that's getting ignored by his teammates.
Pep clearly doesn’t use Haaland's strenghts to it's full potential and the Norweigan is still an outrageous goalscoring machine. It's a testamente of his insane talent.
Haaland (and Mbappe) are the only active U25 players who could retire today as one of the best forwards in history. Haaland's numbers are ridiculous for Norway and every club bar Molde.
You also forgot Haaland is objectively a far superior goalscorer, the only thing that matters when it comes to strikers.
Prime Aguero was never a goalscoring phenom like Haaland who has produced over 1 goal a game regardless of competiton or the level of quality of his supporting cast.
Absolutely no way he would score ton in the current iteration of Man City.
Aguero played in inferior Man City teams? The Centurions + 2018-19 Man City are some of the best teams in Premier League history...
Yeah, Haaland equalled Aguero’s highest goalscoring EPL record in February or something lol.
You a fan of Erling by any chance? It's hard to tell................
