And plenty of people claiming that Jesus would get more PL playing time than him.Yea,I also remember quite a few who post regular on here saying his days were numbered 18 month-2 years ago as well
If you do a comparison when Shearer was 30 (end of 2000/01 season) and look at both their full league careers (not just the Prem), Sergio is well ahead. 50 more league goals and 84 more goals in total. Per game goals are 0.56 for Sergio and 0.52 for Shearer, so he's well ahead on all measures, and to make the comparison fair we'd need to add on the rest of Aguero's goals for this season.I agree with Karen 7. I would love to see Alan Shearer's stats for his goals broken down to the number of minutes played. Just think the number of games Sergio has missed through injury, he would have smashed Alan's record long ago, if only the club had given Sergio that operation on his knee a few years back, rather than have it last season.

We were talking about this in the car on way home last night,particulary in the teams that were once in the Prem that Shearer scored against,during his peak,but let's be honest,Sheff Wed,Ipswich,Barnsley,Coventry,Wimbledon's etc etc,it is far more tougher in the league these days,I'm not knocking Shearer,he was great at what he did,especially with his elbows the dirty bastard,but could he have done it in the modern era,it is debatable we concluded.
To be fair though, Shearer was playing for Blackburn and Newcastle and although he had good players around him, he wasn't supplied by Silva, Yaya, DeBruyne, Sane, Sterling etc.
He did also suffer his fair share of injuries and it could be argued that defenders were tougher back then. Just saying like!
Love Kun btw, please don't ban me.
No,you make some good and fair points there,but at Blackburn,they bought the league,and had a cracking side whilst he was there,but tough defenders or not,there was some shite teams he scored against,the PL was full of them at one stage,including us ! There was only 3 or 4 clubs that were decent,the other 16 were crap
