Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

lol

I mean I love Aguero but he's playing in the best attacking side in the world and not scoring as frequently as Haaland is. If you put Haaland in that City team and started him 30 times I think the PL goal scoring record falls pretty quickly. Aguero probably maxes out in the high 20s.

 

[longers]

Would anyone be surprised if he bagged 30 goals a season playing for City or Liverpool ? Really doesn't seem a stretch to imagine it but I guess that's because his entire career so far has just been one giant goal scoring bonanza with no drops in form or injuries.

On a side note I've always been fascinated by how Aguero has never been seriously linked with a move away from Man City. He's obviously one of the best strikers in the world so you'd imagine some of the traditional big names would have shown interest during his time at City... but seemingly nothing, no offers, and he's never pushed for a move away from City either.

People saying that it sounds weird without fans and to some extent I agree, however, the vast majority of Premier League crowds are silent anyway.

There’s a difference between a quiet crowd and no crowd at all: if a game is going badly you’ll get groans and calls to improve; if you’re winning it’s great.

This is 12 names, so 8 of which Haland is better than, 4 make the cut in the "world's top 5 striker" list, I even cut out Ronaldo and Messi so you'd stop crying. Please bold the 8 names he is better than.

Aguero
Cavani
Auba
Werner
Lewa
Lukaku
Higuain
Icardi
Kane
Suarez
Mbappe
Kane

He’s better than Suarez, higuain, werner, cavani, and icardi.

 

[Nymzee]

He’s better than Suarez, higuain, werner, cavani, and icardi.

lol

Players not scoring most their goals in Austria:

Suarez 14 / 23
Werner 27 / 37
Icardi 20 / 31

Hig has had a meh season and Cavani has barely played with injury (~7 games in the league) so won't include those for fairness.

 

[Charro]

lol

Three of those names are well past their best for one.

He’s a better player than werner and icardi has never done it on the European stage.

Icardi has 9 goals in 12 CL games.

He’s only played 12 CL games? Proves my point.

Could make an argument that he’s better than lukaku and Auba too.

I have always felt Aguero is a bit overrated. Not as good as the likes of Shearer, Van Persie, Vieri, Van Nistelrooy, etc for example.

Yeah but how many times do we hear the thud of the ball and the players shouting.

That's down to his club being Inter Milan than him not being CL quality though isn't it...

I don't know if I'd fully go along with that, but at least since Pep got there the team is so good that everyone scores and assists for fun. It is hard to figure out individually how good each is.

I do think City pay handsome wages plus bonuses, take care of families etc, cos I can't think of a player that has been plucked away from them unlike other clubs

All the other big teams around them have at least had a player or two pinched by Barca or Real. City haven't.
