So why suddenly do they talk about Aguero leaving?
- Thread starter lostgalaxy
- Start date
i think you called it just right.. " he has got a bit comfortable ".. some games hes hardly noticed . but maybe some of it is down to the way city have played, but now he has to fight for his place and fight for the team . lets see what the future bringslets just see what the next 3 months Sergio gives the team, personally i think he has got a bit comfortable and needs to get back to his dynamic self, if and when he leaves it will be a very very sad day for all City fans, he has given us the best of times and will allways be one of the best loved players to play for our club, a legend.

We have to talk about it now because press brought it up...
City rely to heavily on aguero they said, if he gets injured they are fkd for CL... So we get a new striker to rotate and its "aguero left out" !

A couple of days ago I thought that it was just press mischief making but now I can see why him leaving is a very real possibility.
Primarily because Pep wants players who will run and work in every match.
This has never really been Sergio's strength and,given his accumulation of niggles over the years, would any attempt by the player to change his game bring on a fresh spate of injuries?
As Tolm and others have indicated we really can't lose with the situation being as it is. We either get a superb striker who also has added something to his game or we get to replace him with someone of similar calibre who has what Sergio lacks.
Sergio gets a fresh challenge in a location where he can play his chosen game and maybe a place which eases his domestic worries.
We certainly would not sell him to a direct rival so all the media buffoons who suggest him going to Liverpool or Arsenal are delusional.
I think the rest of the season and this summer's transfer window will resemble a game of high stakes poker.

If Sergio should go this summer if any team from the premier league come calling we should ask for nothing less than £125m cash, if a club should come up with a player + cash deal, then city should decide which players should come here. let's say it is Spurs we want Deli Alli +Harry Kane + £30m cash or no deal, if one player says no then there is no deal. For a club in Europe we want nothing less than £90m.

He had a knock for Palace in the cup, he recovered and made he bench for Wet Spam. Against Swansea Pep decided to stick with a front three that had caused so many problems in the last two matches and so again Sergio was benched. How that relates of a media frenzy is beyond me, desperation for a story now the window has slammed shut most likely.
Against Swansea that front three wasn't as ruthless, so every possibility Sergio will be back in the starting eleven for Monday night.Sure, he'll have to adapt or he'll struggle, but you tend to find the best players can do that, and he's undoubtedly in that category despite how hard he may or may not train.
Whilst it won't do him any harm at all to be rested more, or indeed to see that we have option options up front and he has to be on top of his game, the decision on whether he stays is kind of redundant right now. He isn't going anywhere and even if it looked like a reality rather than speculation, it woudl require one of the club or Sergio to want it to happen for a start - so either he doesn't get more game time and is on the bench for the majority of our games between now and May, which won't happen (we've said as much, and benching him just risk reducing his value anyway), or we find a better solution for Pep's plans, which ultimately we have to just back and go with.
Even then, someone has to come up with a huge offer - if Pogba is worth a conservative £78-90m then what price for a proven goalscorer who is regularly touted as not far off the likes of Messi and the poser in terms of world's best player? OK, every deal is different and not everyone is as stupid as Woodward, but I'd imagine we'd be taking about £70m just to sit around a table, knowing a potential replacement is lined up at half the price.
Then there is the desire to go back to Argentina - whoever wants him surely has to understand that is his goal in a few years, City understand that and we will accommodate that if we feel he is that important to us over the next few years.
All taht said, I love Sergio. He is a part of the folklore here now, a true legend. I would be gutted if he left and I feel the commitment the likes of him, Silva and Kompany have shown to City over the years, can not be respected enough. They joined a 'project' and became legends, and besides he has some records till to break at this club.

The first thing that struck me at the start of the season was how much thicker set Kun had become, maybe too much gym work? But whatever the reason, he has missed a lot of chances this season and should of scored a third for us on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how this develops and what is attitude is like. He will always be a legend here but football moves on, but I hope not just yet.

Not that many decent strikers around. I'd keep him for at least another season, he obviously wouldn't be starting every game though. If he wants to leave after this then i'd let him.

Spot on. Rather not sell him at all than sell him for less than Pogflop money, we have to stand firm on our valuation.
