Will go when his contract ends, so the summer after next, which feels like the right time for it to happen.
Sergio Aguero | Performances
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Think he'll go in the summer. Pep seems to rate Jesus higher.
I'll be surprised if he goes this season - still plays a lot for City. Though I guess when Sanchez comes in they'll need space and he is the most dispensable from City's front line.
Cheeky bid 
I believe Pep will replace him in the summer. Hopefully not with Kane. I feel his career has started its decline.
Kane would probably be the perfect player for them. English, young, goal scorer, decent link up play and would relish the opportunity to play under Pep.
City can only get stronger from here it seems.
Nah, I think Kane is pretty much “un-sellable” from Tottenham’s point of view. Maybe from Kane’s point of view too with him being local, having a great rapport with the club, and all that. Whatever happens with Spurs this season, I reckon he’s one of the few players that would stay loyal to his club unless Spurs made it clear they were open to selling him.
Yep, I've been thinking this since the Monaco tie last season
And rightly so. His profligacy cost Manchester City the game as they created more than enough chances to rout Monaco.
His only claim to be amongst the elite was his finishing but with the pressing he has t do, he becomes increasingly lethargic as the game goes on. The team's performance goes up several levels when he is replaced by Gabriel Jesus. Noone outside of England thinks he is a great player.
Alexis Sanchez will mostly likely join them and give them added flexibility, I would have loved to see Mbappe under Pep Guardiola.
At this moment in time I cannot think of a forward that City will be going for bar Sanchez. I can't see them going for a #9.
No, not sure there is a #9 that would work at City apart from Alexis who is obviously not a true #9. Mbappe would've been interesting but even now the rotation of attacking players is such that no one would be too happy sitting on the bench for extended periods.
I think that's really the only area where a crack in City's juggernaut could be exploited - if these young players begin to think they would be better off elsewhere with more limelight/attention/focus rather than the collective. Advantage at Barcelona was that most were cantera and leaving wasn't really a consideration. It's really early to speculate but will that happen at City?

Yes. I can't see how it couldn't, especially if Pep continues to buy players for very similar roles.
You want to have a player of Kun's caliber off the bench though as sometimes you simply come across a parked bus and can't break the deadlock. Presently, he's more of a luxury option since he obviously has quality just isn't a decisive player in those moments consistently enough. Else, he'd be playing more than he has
Then he'll finish his career without a big trophy. I guess its up to him.
He has seven league hat-tricks since our last one
He has seven league hat-tricks since our last one
When was our last one in the league anyway? RVP?
We'd have more if players like Kasper Schmeichel were this generous to us.
And Pep wanna get rid of him ?
Yup vs Villa.
Great.
Buy the cnut
Jesus is nowhere near the level of Aguero. Can easily keep both, Jesus just needs to get used to watching his team play a bit more
Benefited heavily from a poor goalkeeping performance, could argue that all of them should have been kept out
Would love him at United. cnuts would never sell though.
There is a reason season won every game against the top 6 teams and lost the only game Aguero played a full 90 mimutes. Aguero was substituted at half time against Tottenham when the scores were 1-1 and the City went on to dominate the game.
Gabriel Jesus is simply better for the team. Against the bottom teams Aguero will score more goals but tactically, there is no competition.
The best player on the pitch was Kevin de Bruyne.
That's one game you're gonna use ? I mean 3 points vs Spurs= 3 points vs Leicester. Aguero has more than proven he is several levels above Jesus, individually and collectively. You don't see KDB enjoying himself like that with Jesus
Aguero just bulldozers his way through, his control is excellent and he finds space so easily. In my opinion Jesus is a good player and has his benefits but with a run of games Aguero is better. We should agree to disagree.
Has he been the best PL striker in the last 10-15 years? Certainly a case for it.
Aguero is nowhere as good collectively for the team. If Gabriel Jesus was playing Manchester City would have won the game against Liverpool and Tottenham were playing on a level field till Aguero went off because Gabriel Jesus increased the pressure on the centre backs.
The same Kevin de Bruyne that scored the winning goal against Chelsea because of a one two with Gabriel Jesus?
Gabriel Jesus is better at one twos, overloading the centre and channels to increase numerical superiority. He makes better decisions, is more effecient with his passing, better in the air, his pressing is on a different level which helps manchester City's defence, holds up the ball better and makes off the ball runs for the team whilst Aguero makes runs only when he believes he can score.
There is a reason Pep starts Gabriel Jesus when both are fit and Aguero is the main culprit behind Manchester City's exit against Monaco. When he isn't scoring he usually does nothing to help the teams structure in offense and defense.
Rooney
Yes bulldoze and almost always lose the ball and runs with his head down then puts City under pressure with the opposition counter attack. Picks the wrong pass almost all the time and makes no runs to open up space for the midfield.
Yes, both I and Pep Guardiola disagree with you.
Dunno. Rooney had far too few great seasons. Aguero has consistently delivered, only things that stopped him were injuries. I'd pick Aguero. Rooney obviously has had the benefit of being in the PL longer though.
It's actually pretty amazing to believe in something like that to the point of being 100% certain. Truth is that you don't know feck all about that. We do have facts and the facts are Man City score more with Aguero. It can be as simple as that.
By far , he's number 1
Rooney has achieved more and played in greater teams which made it harder to stand out. Rooney on form at his best offered more for the team than Aguero.
Don’t let his last few seasons at United blind your perception of peak Rooney. He was unbelievable.
Actually the team scores more when Gabriel Jesus starts and has a better defensive record. The biggest scoreline came when Gabriel Jesus was starting.
Emphasis on the team, not Aguero vs Jesus . Aguero will score more but the team will score more and defend better and that is a statistical fact.
John O Shea has achieved more too, how is that relevant?
And yes Rooney probably has, at his best, offered more, but how often he we actually see his best? 2 seasons maybe?
As strikers Aguero has him beat pretty easily really, their goal record season on season shows that.
Kane and Lukaku have a better goal per game ratio than Drogba, peak Drogba was better though.
Jesus can also make wine from water, Aguero can't, I suppose.
Give me a striker like Aguero anyday.
You're missing the point though. This is about consistency over time in the PL, not players at their "peak", otherwise you'd just give the award to Suarez.
It's also pretty debatable that Drogba at his best was better than Kane is right now, very debatable actually.
My bad then as I wanted to emphasize on Aguero vs Jesus initially more than the team. I still don't understand how anyone could be sure of City beating Liverpool if Jesus started.
