That's so stupid I can't begin to pick it apart. Seriously, somebody step in here and help me.
Sergio Aguero

Oh yeah because he's never made public his desire to move to Real has he
At least with Aguero you'd get more loyalty
Show me this quote.Oh yeah because he's never made public his desire to move to Real has he
So have we signed him yet then?
I'm considering getting an Aguerro 7 away shirt to go with the Benzema 9 home shirt I bought last week

Er, who bestowed him with that title? There's no doubting his ability — which is still largely potential — but world class? What exactly would that make Forlan, then? Intergalactic? World class is far too easily thrown around, these days, and in my opinion, Kun Agüero still has some way to go before he can be elevated to a class of player that have generally achieved far more than he currently has.
I certainly wouldn't be unhappy if we signed Agüero, particularly as he can do everything that Tevez can — much of it better — and he also has a far greater range and quality of finishing, as well, but his stature is still very similar to that of Tevez and Rooney, which some believe to be a problem. I don't agree, for what it's worth, but it certainly isn't an argument that we can simply dismiss.
I remember Tim Vickery raving about the 18 year old Agüero when he first appeared in the first team at Independiente, so I've followed his career ever since.
I must say that I'd still prefer that we at least attempted to sign Benzema. Principally because he is very different to both Rooney and Berbatov, and also because there's just something about his technical qualities that suggests that he can go on to be a very special player, indeed. In terms of aesthetic beauty, Benzema wins hands-down, for me. Of course, that isn't the only consideration, but as a United fan, it likely plays more of a role in my own thinking than it does for Sir Alex.
Agüero is potentially world class, and to be fair, so too in Benzema, so it would hardly be a choice between current world class players, but if I had to put money on who is likely to be the better player, there would only be one choice, I'm afraid.
All due respect charlenefan, but that interview was long ago proven bollocks. Since he has said on television he enjoys watching United the most. And the fact the quotes come from AS should tell you all you need to know.
Yeah, but:
And this.
i bet reading are gutted.
Proved as bollocks by who? You? Oh ok then I'll shut up then
That interview was done in December and that was the most recent that named Real Madrid, I can easily pull up numerous other quotes from Benzema since then mentioning just wanting to play in Spain as his preference
If you cant see the talent the lad has and cant see that he will be a world class player then stop watching football because you dont have a clue
I don't see anything wrong in what he said.. Infact I agree with everything he said.. Its not like he is saying Aguero is shit or something like that he is simply saying he is not World Class yet.. Which I agree is a 100% fair judgment..
Default [12] United linked with Aguero... a snip at 60m euro's!

Manchester United are reportedly ready to pay €60 million to sign Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid this summer.
The Argentine striker was not in great form last season but is still regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe and United are apparently keen to bring him to Old Trafford.
However, as was reported earlier today, Atletico have stated that they will not be accepting any bids for Aguero or Diego Forlan, so any offer would have to be above his buy-out clause.
Marca reports that since Cristiano Ronaldo is all but gone from Old Trafford, United are ready to spend the €60 million to bring 'Kun' in.
One positive factor for the English club is that they have a good relationship with IMG, who negotiate matters for the Argentine forward amongst others.
Apparently the player himself would not be against a move to United, and he would be an ideal replacement for not only Cristiano Ronaldo, but also Carlos Tevez.
The Argentine looks set to move to cross-city rivals Manchester City, leaving United short up front and in need of a new forward.
The Red Devils' plan is reportedly to talk to Atletico about a possible deal and to try and negotiate a suitable price for the forward.
If the Spanish club are not willing to sell for under the buy-out clause, then it is thought that United are willing to pay the €60 million fee

ye have to read that again just to take in the stupidity of it. so we are negotiating with atletico about a cheaper price but its believed we are willing to pay 60 million if they dont drop it. those negotiations should be good

Damn, well I guess that's it then. It's over. It was fun while it lasted, but it's clearly time to move on to another sport.
Of course, you must think that I'm stupid if you expect me to have not noticed that you have moved the goalposts. Previously, you claimed that Agüero is "a genuine world class attacking player". In the latest post, you are claiming that "he will be a world class player".
I'll take that as an admission of agreement.
agreed, a no brainer IMHO
I agree with you, but you're not disagreeing with JB there, either. Joga's saying that Aguero has undoubted potential, and probably will become world class, but he isn't there yet. I agree with that, too.
Sign Figo
Well if we offer the €60 million then there'll be no negotiations at all
But is he worth 60 mil? Nah...
Eh? Why would you bid above a buy out clause? Surely you'd bid the exact amount the clause specified!
We didn't sell Ronaldo for £80million to sign Aguero for £60million, I'll tell you that now
And there's no way Atletico would turn down a £30million+ bid for him either if you ask me
Papers are lazily linking us with any striker that has legs at the minute, I'm not putting stock in any of it
I know it's not that big a difference but his buyout clause is €60 million and Ronaldos fee is £80 million
€60 million is just over £50 million.
But it's that high so that nobody would be willing to pay it
Wish the media would feck off already, the silence from the United camp means Fergie must want to do the business discreetly, as opposed to the Hargreaves and Berbatov deals.
Aguero would be a super signing, but i still think he holds Barca as higher priority. However, he seems like a down to earth and loyal lad, so if we do get him we could probably hold onto him for a very long time and achieve great things.

i think there's a fair old chance that Kun is gonna be our new number 7.
i'd rather get benzema, but on fifa i score buckets with aguero. more than any other striker i transfer in...aguero and rooney are magic for me up top in fifa. rooney and benzema..not so much.
maybe i've foudn the answer.
maybe i've foudn the answer.
Aguero and Benzema score tonnes for me on FIFA, but Rooney and Berbatov score more. Dos Santos and Sanchez score their good ammount, and Welbeck and Macheda well I score more with Welbeck cause he is faster.
Yeah, they are all in my United team, and you should see my midfield
Ive scored tonnes with John Aloisi... maybe you should try and sign him.
I'm also under the impression that he's not to keen to be sticking around at Sydney FC for much longer...
could be cheap.
Also proven at international level, even scoring in a World Cup! Now that's an achievement that Aloisi can boast over the likes of Benzema and Aguero.
FFS not going believe anything until its from the club or the other club.
Press will be linking us with every good forward in the world for sure.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is interested in signing Atletico Madrid's £45m-rated striker Sergio Aguero after giving up on Valencia forward David Villa.

No not at all, was Rooney not world class when we signed him? If anything in Rooney's case the potential he showed during his early days at Everton and at Euro 2004 was greater than what he's produced over the past two seasons
Aguero clearly has world class ability thus he's a world class player, just because he hasn't had long enough to display that talent doesn't negate that fact.

Heinze - fans player of the season, not the same on return from injury and replaced by the best LB in football. His departure was horrid, but he wasn't a bad signing.
Tevez was a key player in a Prem/CL double in his first season, and an important squad player in his second season. Again, the departure was shit, but he was a good signing for those two years.
Veron - a fantastic player, who simply didn't fit into the formation we played, and was sold the summer we moved to a formation that would suit him (.......
). We made a loss on him when we sold him to Chelsea, and his time with us wasn't great. Wasn't terrible either though, really. He has a league winners medal from his time with us after all.aye
yeah but the notion that we go into negotiations with a club to decide a fee and that its already known if we cant get a smaller fee then we are happy to pay the 60 million.
- can we have him for 20 million
- no we know you are willing to pay 60
- - ok 30 million
- no we know you are willing to pay 60 million
- 40 mill
- nope you've told everyone you are willing to pay 60 million
- ok go on 60 mil then
We won't be signing him. In fact I doubt we will sign anyone apart from maybe Valencia this year as prices are going to be inflated by Madrid's and City's spending, Fergie won't want to go over the top.
Similar thing happened in 2003 when we got £40m for Beckham and Veron combined, we only bought a few youngsters without exceeding half of our projected budget.
