We, as a club, need to learn that brutal 'out the door' approach as a player comes to the end of his cycle with us. The problem is, our scouting team are shit and they probably couldn't identify a decent striker if he banged 60 goals in a season and had every Tom, dick and harry chasing his signature.

Great teams keep their squad competitive and hungry this way. We just give our stars a cushty contract into their thirties and sign bollocks to compete with them.

I'd love nothing more than Sergio to get his mojo back, but we need to start going places and if he's not cutting it by May, we need reinforcements or replacements.

Sounds great in practice, but good luck selling a striker who won't sign a contract past 2020 because he's dedicated to finishing his career in Argentina.

You'd be lucky to get much more than £40m for him, because the selling club knows that he won't sign more than a 3 year deal, and then he'll walk away for free.

Either way, Guardiola is literally the manager who has cut players like that loose more than any other. Deco, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry. He got rid of all of them when they got the wrong side of their peak so he won't hesitate to do the same with Sergio IF necessary.

Fernandinho spoke 4 languages fluently (Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Spanish) before he joined us and had good English already - Here's an interview of him 12 days after signing for us:



And he didn't have lessons either, he told the club he didn't need them and he'd just pick the rest of the language up through being around it, which he did.

He's got a special talent for learning languages, holding everyone to that standard is unrealistic.

I've heard his conversational Latin is functional at best.

I guess the overall point of my post would probably be best angled at majority of our squad and our policy since 2012. I don't even think we'd pull £40m for him. A reputation for being injury prone, turning 29 shortly, his abilities are clearly less influential on match outcomes and he wants to return to Argentina. Those things coupled with our negotiation tactics, I predict a loan of some form until his contract expires and he would walk away, should he leave.
 
A contract extension for Sergio Aguero, agreed upon nearly a year ago, has mysteriously still not been announced. [Mirror]

A good news day for us so out come the media claws
 
I'm not sure I agree with some of the comments here about loaning him out(crazy talk what would be the point in that?) but he has been the main man for too long and he's known he is for a long time too, we are perhaps over reliant on him and it's showing this season. Hopefully G Jesus will offer the kind of competition he's been missing(if he responds to it in the right way it will reinvigorate him), I think we could do with another come the summer too if the budget will stretch to it because G Jesus can be played out wide or centrally, so Raheem, Sane and Jesus in rotation sounds good to me along with a young hungry striker to rotate with Aguero and Nacho.
 
I've yet to watch the second half against Everton (thank fuck?), but again I have the feeling people are way overreacting. He played some nice defense-cutting passes in the first and on a luckier day he would have scored an easy tap-in after De Bruyne's 'almost' assist. Before that, he had a brilliant cameo against Burnley and his great displays against Chelsea (despite the missed chances, but there is no striker who scores everytime) or Barcelona weren't that long ago as well.

Shame about the suspensions, mind, but I still think there is more to come and he's still in the learning phase with Pep. Lewandowski had to 'adapt' to him as well and eventually became a beast that he is these days.
