Is he the best poacher in the Premier League era?

Not just the Prem. He's the best out and out striker to have ever played in England imo.

101 in 134 under pep

Best striker period. Yeah he gets loads in and around the 6 yard box but he sticks plenty in the top corner from the edge of the box too. Love the man.

But never gets the praise he deserves . And people say they’d mo agenda against City I beg to differ

When he hits the ball, he puts his laces through it. The amount of times keepers simply don't have time to react.

He's also beaten a number of "top" keepers at their near post which is unusual

Wish people would stop calling De Gea a top keeper.

Sorry I spelt wanker wrong.

I've got a bet on Aguero being the top scorer this season. I know he's got tough competition in Aubameyang and Salah but I feel like this could be his season. Do you think he can do it?

Regarding top scorer his problem is he gets an injury misses 3 or 4 games then takes a few games to get back to speed.
Falls behind in the scoring stakes.

Best poacher, best out and out striker (since Shearer), best off the ball work rate for a striker, best 'football intelligence' - and probably the most under-rated under appreciated (by non-Blues) player.
I have a feeling in my bones next season will be his last for us, and I will probably shed a tear or two at the end of it.

Imagine he is in most fantasy football teams.

Very difficult to say he is the best of all time. Greaves to name one, was more prolific. Obviously football was different back then but the basic premise is the same. One thing is for certain, there aren’t many strikers in world football today aged under 25 who would be a ready made replacement. He will take some replacing

Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan. Another Argentine with bags of potential, think he's only 22. If he kicks on or should I say has a great season, his price will rocket. Why not take a gamble and develop him. It will be hard to find a ready made replacement we night have to gamble to unearth next diamond

I watched Inter last week. He heads the ball like Sibierski. Missed two empty nets from point blank range.

Next Summer sell Sane and use those funds and the rest of our annual budget for MBappe to replace Sergio. He will be a world superstar for a decade.

Will really be the end of an era when Sergio goes as he will be the last of the Sheik's original star team to go after Dave this season.

I'm surprised that we've not already got someone in that can work with Sergio until he retires and learn from him. Unless we are going full out for a superstar.

Is that not what Jesus is?

A direct replacement for Aguero?

Yep.
