World class new striker incoming? I never rated Jesus as a top class player but he'd be a good back up.
Tell me why he should have a statue!Strange way of thinking. But ok.
He's their all time top scorer, one of their best ever players and has been consistently excellent for a decade.Tell me why he should have a statue!
What? They literally didn't win the league for 44 years before he hit that injury time winner against QPR to win them the title. You are being disingenuous if you really believe that he isn't one of their most influential players in the last 50 years.Tell me why he should have a statue!
He wouldn't have even joined City if they didn't have the money to pay him.
Don't cod yourself
I reckonMaking space for Haaland no doubt.
Seriously doubt they have ever heard of himGlazers will be picking their lips here.
Leaving just in time for us considering we are so cheap we only sign 30+ stop gap strikers.
Good thing Aguero would reject us.
Brilliant comments mate from a proper football fan.What? They literally didn't win the league for 44 years before he hit that injury time winner against QPR to win them the title.

Let's not bring money into the equation here. A lot of players joined United because of the money and the promise of titles without having any affiliation with the club or the city whatsoever. Just because City did it quickly and will money from a sovereign fund doesn't mean he didn't score those goals and didn't win those matches. He is a legend for them.
He won numerous PL titles and will go down as a premier league great.Wonderful player.
Cant help but feel he's wasted his career a bit mind playing for a plastic oil club. Could have done much better.
Jesus, just stop. To think that he isn’t a legend to City & its tens of supporters is just flat out delusional.Tell me why he should have a statue!
He wouldn't have even joined City if they didn't have the money to pay him.

City's top scorer of all time.Tell me why he should have a statue!

You're just fishing for an argument now.Tell me why he should have a statue!

Argentina versus Brazil. Doesn't count.Pure class. Noble, almost.
That was absolutely wonderful and fully deserved by that twat Luiz. I remember Aguero back in FIFA 08, Fergie should have bought him back in the day, absolute class player.Pure class. Noble, almost.
Used to view him as a junior brother (style wise) to Messi when he was at Atletico.Great player. But I wish (or rather not given who he plays for!) he had managed to keep the dribbling ability that he had when he was a kid. He lost much of that as he became a top class goalscorer. Which happens all the time of course, but I think he could have combined the two a little more.
Imagine if we’d given a statue to every club legend as soon as they’d left - Robson, Hughes, Keane, Giggsy, Neville, Cole, Ole, Cantona, Neville, Becks...the list goes on. We’d have more statues than in our defence at a set piece!We need to get more statues....like way more statues
For the last 5 years, every single post match footage of him he was limping. City do that tunnel cam thing on YouTube and we've won there a lot in the last 5 years so it's always good fun.Great player.

I’d hate to turn this into a Man Utd moan thread as we have a billion already, but yeah, this is one specific thing I really hate that we absolutely do. Likes of Ashley Young or Nemanja Matic — good players but nowhere near as important to the club as Aguero was — got a cheeky contract extension or two for no real reason.The difference between teams like City and us...we would have given him a 1+1 contract, maybe even longer. We have some weird blind faith in all our signings.
Gives Cavani’s team another edge if we’re still trying to scramble a year extension on him, too...Fantastic. City and United both in the market for a new number 9 this summer. That’s going to end well, isn’t it?
Yup. He was a really explosive dribbler when he was just 'Kun'. I was a bit surprised how that mostly went away from his game. But his efficiency in the final third was obviously brilliant.Used to view him as a junior brother (style wise) to Messi when he was at Atletico.
Buying Kane over Haaland would be tremendously stupid and these two words are not something I associate with City's transfer policy.Haaland or Kane.
In the basis of goals scored per minute played he’s the best ever / most lethal ever striker to play in the Premier League - better than Henry, RVP etc. Afew have scored more (Shearer for one) but they played here for much longer.Was an incredible striker in his prime, should deservedly go down as one of the best strikers the league has ever seen.
Not really. Kane suits pep and city far more than haaland. Its not peps job to worry that haaland will be playing in 8 years time when he's not even manager.Buying Kane over Haaland would be tremendously stupid and these two words are not something I associate with City's transfer policy.
Kane is under contract until 2024 and would cost an extraordinary amount of money (not just the transfer fee). He's had his injury issues but most importantly you don't splash out this amount of cash on 28-year olds. Most clubs, and City are certainly very well run in this regard, understand this by now. I said the same thing about Partey and Ziyech last summer. You give these players five-year deals on big money which makes moving them on very difficult in the final years of their contracts. Now to be fair Kane is at a different level than those two mentioned and money is certainly not as big of an issue at City (but again, if you look at their signings under current leadership, you'll see they certainly buy smart and not just 'by name') but with the amount of football Kane has played over the last few years and the injuries he's had, I'd have some serious doubts if you can get five years out of him in which he performs at a world class level. I'm happy to eat my words but I don't think City are seriously considering him.Not really. Kane suits pep and city far more than haaland. Its not peps job to worry that haaland will be playing in 8 years time when he's not even manager.
