Sergio Aguero

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

You've got to love these threads. Pre last sunday, there was some right shit posted about Sergio, now suddenly
he's up there with the best in the world. Let me tell you, he always has been and always will be one of the best
strikers around. Sure he's had dips, mainly due to injury imo.

I think we should have a sweepstake to see who's next on the hit list, because they weren't playing like Messi
in one of our games

Nowt to do with playing like Messi, Sergio was playing way under par until the last 2 games so people have obviously commented on that. His fantastic performances in the last 2 have emphasized that. I doubt anyone has doubted his ability, just his performances

Let's just hope it was down to little more than lack of fitness and he can keep his current level of performance up

Aguero is one of those players that can provide a moment of class that no other player can do. When he is fit he should start nearly every game he is just that good. Based on form Dzeko has gone a bit cold, Pellegrini knows that the Dzeko, Negredo combination is probably not going to work that effectively and so it was one of those with Aguero. Negredo has looked more threatening and that decision was the correct one in the end. Even if you have only just started watching football and don't have the same passion for the club as most (anti united) you should know that Aguero is in a different class to Dzeko.

Lol at pretends. also im not aware of a city purity test. 5th time im going to say this i can support who ever i fukin want and i dont need your approval for it or your pathetic acceptance. so run along now sad little twat.

What is the deal with supporting 2 teams though? Most people and I am included struggle to accept that concept its almost alien to football supporters. Not having a go im just trying to understand. Also your complete firewall defence of Dzeko, I know you say its because he gets it bad but I have never seen you in the Nasri thread defending against anything bad said or the Kolarov thread or the Garcia thread who all at some time have taken public enemy No1 from bluemoon posters.

Cuz i only started watching football recently like a proper amount (moving from the states to dubai). So for me i just dont have that hardcore dedication yet. so i started watching city and pool play alot. i started liking both its that simple really also the fact im not English so it just does not have that hold over me like lets say my home town team the Bengals would. When it comes to the other flame bait threads i thought defending one player would be good enough for now let alone defending nasri. i personally think Garcia is shit and way out of his depth

Can you please sort out your spelling of "fuck"; given you use it in so many of your posts you would think you would have it got the hang of it by now.
By the way, do you have a City/Liverpool half and half scarf?

/Yawn try better sosa.

Koba please not Sosa

The whole Sergio to Madrid thing is probably never going to go away whatever utterances come from his mouth and in all fairness, not without good reason.

Any player from Latin America must harbour some ambition to play for Real and/or Barcelona at some point in their careers and whilst on the surface he appears to be settled here, it can hardly be said he has embraced British culture as much as other foreign City players such as Pablo or Vinny. I get the impression that his conversational English, off-camera, is decent, but someone who appears to be articulate when interviewed in Spanish should be able to conduct a basic level interview in English after two years living here if they'd more fully immersed themselves imo.

I think to get the answer you have to look beneath all that, however. Any glance at his social media output displays a fairly deliberate and organised, yet subtle, marketing campaign. He is probably more conscious of his image than appears to be the case on the surface. He doubtless realises that there would be risks to his preeminence if he were to move away from City, a sporting brand which itself is marketed superbly. Moving to either of the aforementioned clubs would almost certainly mean a reduction in his relative role, but this has to be balanced against the fact that as things stand they both provide discernibly bigger stages.

In my mind there's no doubt he loves City and its supporters, but that doesn't mean he'll feel compelled to stay here if the pull elsewhere is sufficiently strong. It's not like he could ever turn into a figure of hate and he probably realises that.

I think he quite possibly doesn't know the answer to the question himself right now: stick at a club where he is loved and revered, a club which is continuing to grow (providing him the opportunity to grow alongside it) in a country that he seems fairly happy in; or move to one of two clubs with which he will have more synergies culturally and language-wise, clubs which are already established as numbers one and two in the world, which he may very well have dreamed of playing for since he was a kid.

There will also be the effect of wider factors extraneous to his wants and needs, namely the relative finances in the English and Spanish games to thrown into the mix, as well as City's ability to demonstrate a genuine ability to compete for the Champions League this season.

I personally feel that we'll get this season and most probably next from him, upon which, at 27, he'll be faced with a monumental decision. He is a highly ambitious individual and for that reason where City find themselves at that point in time will doubtless have as much bearing on the outcome of that decision as any other factor.

That, and hopefully the fact that he just fucking loves scoring against united :-)

Good post that gdm,especially the highlighted part

A couple of points on the highlighted bit, GDM. Not everyone has an aptitude for languages, it tends to be a natural talent not something you can acquire. Also Aguero and others (Silva for example) may prefer to conduct an articulate interview in their first language to possibly stumbling over some English phrases and appearing clumsy even though they can cope adequately with changing-room conversations in English.

It may play a part, but not a decisive one imo. He's not a fucking lizard! It is worth saying that England provides the optimal climate to play football in and that English football suits his game perfectly.

I think his personal ambitions, and whether they can be met at City, will determine the outcome.

That's a fair point and maybe I was being a little harsh.

Real Madrid could sign Suarez next summer, which would put an end to the Aguero rumours indefinitely. Bayern Munich are the latest side very tentatively linked with Aguero but that is from the same poor Czech source that reported the Aguero for Benzema/Khedira swap, so I wouldn't be worried. Really don't think he's going anywhere and don't forget, Pellegrini is the sort of coach players love playing for.

He seems pretty happy to me. If Real or Barca made a determined play for him, they'd stand a good chance, but it would be risky for them and come at a big cost in terms of time, energy and money. Plus, as you suggest, Suarez would be easier to get, for example; so I doubt it's going to happen in the immediate future. Beyond that, who can say.

Would be pretty confident we could fend off an approach from Bayern so not too worried about their supposed interest, which is probably a load of cobblers anyway.
