With all due respect JC, as I know you've wanted Sanchez for some time now, I'm finding it very difficult to get caught up in all the excitement being generated by this prospect.
I hope for City's sake, if he comes, it all works out brilliantly but, all in all, it's just too underwhelming for me.
I really wish we had another striker, or even two but, in this instance, I think I would even prefer Balotelli.

Irrespective of how I think it will turn out if Sanchez comes - either now or in the summer, my point MC was that Aguero's unhappiness is not unrelated to the prospect of having to compete for his place with another forward but the deeper problem is that he feels he does not fit with Pep's style

This does not sound not some BS media anti-City story this time, as Lee is a reputable reporter for us, as it wasn't last time he reported this as well, it was just worked out for the time being between them.

I can see why from Kun's POV, but basically Lee says Pep knows the only way he can sell is if Sergio wants to leave himself because of the juice he has (this is not anywhere near the same as with Hart).

I believe he has been hoping for more from Aguero, but has not seen enough in him, although we have in moments. He is not in great form, and nor is Jesus and I get that Pep picks Jesus because he works much harder and is more natural at that what Pep is looking for from his striker. Aguero also likes to run with the ball from deep, which is not part of Pep's style of play.

Ahsan made a good point that maybe Aguero is like "We're both not in great form, but I'm a proven world class striker, so I should play." Except, my sense is Pep also wants to keep Jesus around and dropping him more may lead him to consider heading to Real Madrid instead of Kun. Blasphemy, perhaps, but if I had to sell one to RM I'd sell Kun over Jesus at this point.

I love Kun, and I am sure it's frustrating for him, but I also get that Pep needs the right players for the system, and even someone as amazing as Aguero has some holes in his game that don't fit the style we employ, plus it seems we will be in for Sanchez so that would also help keep the depth.

Lee and Howard Hockin both are leaning towards saying "Yes" he will leave, although reluctantly. Lee took a long time to respond, and also said he's not that confident but if had to say one way or the other would say Yes. Hokin said it's an even split and if betting went for he's off.

And Jesus has been offered a new improved contract . Pep keeps faith in Aguero and plays him but Aguero isn't delivering despite the wonderful football we are playing , it could all change of course Aguero is a different animal when he is scoring goals , the zip and extra yard come straight back .

That's the same Sam Lee that told us Mendy was on the mendy an hour before we were told he would be out for 7 months. He hasn't got a fucking clue.

I remember this comment from the thread about Aguero's return after his taxi crash

(Neither played but Aguero was on the bench)

I'm ugly enough as it is JC, without making me look even more ridiculous.
If it's not like saying 'how long is a piece of string', how much do they cost anyway ?? I'm sure I could find better things (musically) to spend my money on.
