I've not been his biggest fan in the past as I think he's wasteful and doesn't put away enough chances.

Having said that, he's a goal every other game for Real Madrid so he can't be that bad!

There's talk of Liverpool bidding £50M for his services. I think that's too expensive and they can't afford it anyway especially if they fail to get CL footy next season.

Is Karim still an option for us? He's got Bale and Ronaldo ahead of him and I guess he's fighting against new boy James for a starting spot.

Can't see him leaving in January anyway.

By then we'll have 3 fit strikers again and Pellegrini will take the risk to hold out for the rest of the season with two proven crocks and one other who's suddenly getting injured to often.

I'd take the punt but not at £50M.

I like him. 126 goals in 276 games....that's decent.

He signed a new 5 year contract in the summer - so maybe that's why the price is so high.

£50m? Not for me. £30m? Definitely, but he's CL cup tied, so I can't see MP dipping into the market until the summer as long as all the 3 strikers will be back by the end of Jan.

Unless he has dropped down the pecking order at Madrid and won't play in the CL, he could move on in January.

As we aren't playing Barca until Feb, we should have all our strikers back by then.

I'd still go for Bony for £20M in January. He probably wouldn't play in the CL as he wouldn't get into our squad. Unless he's bought at the beginning of January, plays in the league and plays brilliantly. Then he could dislodge Dzeko or Jovetic from the CL squad.

Remember, Negredo wouldn't have been in the CL squad if he'd stayed.

Wait a sec, just run that by me again...  TWO proven crocks in our strikeforce?  Really?  I can think of one, but who's the other?  I'm guessing the one that's suddenly getting injured too often is Dzeko, so logically there is only one person you're thinking of and, frankly, I'd not put him in the same box as Jovetic.

I blame Joey Fucking Barton for Sergio's woes.  Remember when he kicked him in the back of the leg, half an hour before Serge stuck it to him in the best possible way with THAT goal?  I can't help but wonder if Barton literally kick-started his injury issues.  I think we should pin that on the fucker anyway, teach him to be a scouse gobshite...

Sergio missed half the games last season. He misses plenty of games through injury each season. This is his 18th Separate injury since joining City. I read an article showing that he seems to be missing more and more games each season.

That many?  Blimey.  Good job he's so brilliant when he's fit then, eh?

If Aguero has these little spells of injures and scores as many as he does, then I don't mind.

It may just stop the likes of Barca and Real putting a bid in because of his injury record.

Imagine if he is 100% fit for a season and scores 35+ goals....the offers will come flooding in.

the trouble is all the time he is played as a lone striker he is going to get lumps kicked out of him every game. he is small agile & quick but because of the work rate the dropping deep to pick up the ball etc he is always prone to kicks from defensive midfielders & lumbering centrebacks ala terry skyrtl cahill etc.
