3) it would mean selling a legend. The best goalscorer in history who still bangs then in. For what? Don't get me wrong agueros play has done my nutt in recently but the two aren't comparable.
4) pep banging on about attack is our issue not defence is so worrying. We could sign messing and we wouldn't be any higher
So Kun has been performing at top form this season? Who's had a better one he or Alexis? I love Sergio and he is a legend who I have wanted to be my favourite player when we signed him, and for what he has done for us but his flaws are more pronounced with how we play. To be fair, as incredible as he is scoring goals some have critiqued Aguero's attitude at times as well.
See how he performed under Pellegrini the last two seasons. See his performance with the rest of the team against Madrid. Yes, he has had a lot of injuries, but this season he has not, and something still seems adrift. Is it meshing with Pep? Is it that he is aging fast? Is it the system does not suit him? He is trying a lot more and I've seen it but it sometimes seems a bit unnatural to him.
Thing is we may be able to keep him and still sign Sanchez. Don't think Jesus (especially), Sane and Raheem will like that too much, but it would mean do or die for Sergio, that's for sure, and/or Sanchez.
The spineless accusations are quite interesting. Where does that come from? He is late in his career, is at top level and wants to be at a club of similar level. I don't think that's wrong for him to expect.
Alexis has also come from a tough background as a child growing up in real poverty in a mining town and may be partially why he may be about the immediate -- win now for me mentality that seems selfish on the outside and about a "bad attitude" -- because of coming from such instability. It happens to others like this as well in various ways. It also probably drives him.
Of course I would be naive to not recall that Sergio also has come from a poor background. Yet, they do seem to have clearly different personalities that may have come in response to their experiences, families, and whatever else created their personalities. Either way he'd be a very welcome addition to our club and I'd love to see he and Sergio get a chance to play together, rotating with SJS.
We shall see.
