Maybe, but it could be the other way round - I couldn't really see him leaving before the expiry of his contract prior to this season but I get the impression that he's struggling a little to adapt to Guardiola's style of play. Maybe that will come in time but if it doesn't then he may well be on his way before Pep leaves.
At what point does Aguero leave little City?
- Thread starter TheReligion
- Start date
I agree with you, I don't know what he is talking about
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/mar/10/sergio-aguero-leave-manchester-city-end-contract
Sergio Agüero has revealed he will leave Manchester City when his current contract expires. The Argentina international’s five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium runs until the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Cannot wait for this to happen and for City to realize how screwed they'll be without Aguero. It's not going to be easy replacing a player of his calibre.
Toure, Silva & Kompany too - they're going to probably depart in 2-3 years and if Pep's still around he's going to have to fill those holes.

Toure and Kompany are already as good as gone. A replacement for current Toure is just about any decent CM and current Kompany is anyone with 2 legs. Merlin will need replacing but we have plenty of young attacking midfielders who hopefully one of whom will make the grade. Kun is the key, Iheanacho looks like he may be good enough to match his goals but something about him strikes me as he will never make it as a world class player.
Real should buy him
For someone struggling to adapt to Pep's style he scores an awful lot of goals. 11 in 14 games. Only the genius that is Pep can leave his top scorer on the bench and still be called a genius.
He signed an extension in September to 2020.
Liverpool are massive in their minds and their fans minds, in reality they're big, but not that big.
No they really are that big.
No, they're really not. Liverpool are the club equivalent of a 6 foot man wearing elevator shoes and telling everybody he is 6 foot 5, tall but not that tall.
Yes they are. Most recognised club in England after United with also the second largest following around the world for an English club.
Liverpool are not as big as United these days, not a chance. When is the last time they signed someone like Paul Pogba?
I don't even know why Liverpool was mentioned in a thread about Kun Aguero and City, completely irrelevant
. Back on the topic though, I really don't see Aguero leaving anytime soon and he seems pretty content at City but I have always wondered if they are paying him a lot more money than what's reported...Manchester United - Liverpool
Trophies: 64 - 60
Social Media: 75 million - 35 million
2016 Shirt Sales: 2.85 million - 805 thousand
Club Worth: 3.3 billion - 1.5 billion
Like I said, big cub but not massive.
He's only leaving if Pep wants to sell him and that's no guarantee. He doesn't seem as threatening as he once was, but still quite an excellent finisher.
He'll leave if they have another trophy-less season and don't look like competing for major trophies. Coming towards the end of his career and all he has is a couple of medals to his name. Why would you stay if you could go back to Spain and pick up potentially 5 winners medals in two seasons?
How are they not that big? They are loved and hated just like us.
I'm from the north and it's always been Liverpool, Untied then Everton.
That's from my youth and obviously now City is in the mix but to say Liverpool isn't that big is just not true.
In fact if Liverpool aren't that big then what does that make us being our greatest rivals?
Surely we have gotten past the point of calling City players mercenaries.
In all honesty, most players are mercenaries.our captain held us to ransom for more money for one.
I don't think he ever said Liverpool were not big tbf.
Stop this. They are a massive club.
Doesn't change anything. We'll never get past it. He's there for the money, simple as that.
Of course he is.
But we have the highest wage bill in the country.Our players seem to love pound signs too.
That's just what modern football has become.
On 18 months to China, to become the first 1m/week payed footballer.
How does social media, shirt sales compare to other big clubs? I would guess they are top 5 after United, the big two in Spain and maybe Bayern? At least they seem to have fans everywhere.
But it has to be remembered that their are people in there early 30s who have no real recollection of Liverpool being successful apart from their 2005 CL. Even for older people their past successes are a long way back.
Depends if you mean worldwide or in the UK.
Worldwide they are 7th in social media, 4th in UK. Shirt sales they are 8th in the world and 4th in the UK.
One thing people seem to keep getting wrong is that I said they're not a big club, I never said that. What I said was that they're not as big as they or their fans believe, they think they're some massive club but they're not, they're quite big but not as big as they think they are.
This is the last I say on it in this thread anyway, this is a thread about Aguero leaving City.
They still are a big dog. But I get what you're saying
China then home..
Thankfully that will not happen.
Dont see him leaving if im honest, barca are stacked, bayern wont pay him what he wants, only option would be madrid but they have so many options and his injury record isn't ideal.
Most realistic scenario is him staying at city till he's 31 or so then buggers off for more money in china/usa or back to Argentina like the south Americans seem to like doing.

Cheers (and likewise I won't highjack the thread further). Their fans seem to be much more visible around the world than most other big clubs - maybe I'm just unlucky in running into them...
Why does the Caf almost have more threads about other clubs and their players/managers than our own? It's a wee bit RAWKish, isn't it?
Argentina at the end of his current contract, probably.
I get this impression too.
City's rise was built on merceneries. The first club to start paying 250k a week to the likes of Toure.
Tevez has already gone the way of China, it can't be long before the likes of Nasri, Toure and even Aguero get over there.
Yeah I think he hated having Messi and Lewandowski.
City fan I see.
Jealousy? Not at all. I'm sure Aguero wants to have more than that winning goal to his name when he retires though. I think City have massively underachieved since he arrived in 2011 and I don't think it's odd to ask the question why doesn't he look elsewhere.
It's the football forum pal. You post about football in here.
You're in the Football Forum. In here we discuss Non-United players, clubs and other such information. If you're looking for a shit ton of United threads, there is a place for that...
