Him missing penalties wont have helped, also they have failed to announce an extension on his deal. Jesus was signed and Ilhenacho seems to be coming along nicely, maybe pep thinks he is disposable.
Sergio Aguero | Performances
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
A lot in the papers about Kun and Kompany.
Pep with a complete overhaul?

The only way Aguero is heading here is if, pigs begin to fly.
All out at the same time, definitely a leak. But leak could be deliberately misleading.
I can't imagine the penalty misses are a big factor, I have watched his career quite a bit over the years and I have long believed him to be someone who will not reach his full potential - mainly owing to either lack of ambition or laziness. There's a bit of a clown about him. Early this season, he seemed to have bought into Pep's approach so I still think he can have a long career with Pep at City but depends on him. Like I said before, some simply won't make the leap - I hope he does
Gabriel Jesus is a major question mark, 19 years old and coming to new continent, league, language etc. - far too early to see him as a like for like switch/replacement. He's depth and a future consideration, not an immediate impact player IMHO. If he produces early, it's gravy but the topic of Brasilians moving to Europe too early has been discussed quite a bit on the caf - similar would apply here, patience needed
Kelechi will be given opportunities too but again a young player
I would wager Pep wants to bring in an elite striker like Griezmann but everyone is looking for a player of that profile. I still think a squad overhaul is ahead for this City team, especially where fullbacks are concerned
Pep can keep his greasy little hands off our Antoine

Will start against us in the League cup and probably be fired up like feck.
He would have defended and went through the CL final.
I think this summer pursuit of Aubameyang also shows that maybe pep is looking beyond Aguero already. Interesting to see how this story runs, pep wont change and he might drop him again and then he will sulk.
Pepped up.
Come on now, City aren't going to let him go, and Pep certainly isn't an idiot.
It's just media nonsense

I thought talks of City been in for Aubameyang were crazy at the time but looks like there was something to it. Aubameyang would add height and an out ball to City's forward line, lack of height is certainly a problem and Aguero is obviously always going to have that problem.
Every team doesn't fold itself to mourinho like Arsenal does so he does what should be done.
Plus Rashford is a defender now? Wow. Someone should inform Southgate
To be fair, Ferguson did exactly that against Madrid and you could argue it worked. Though in fairness, Rooney in 2013 wasn't in the same class as Aguero is now, plus we had Van Persie on the pitch. I remember the reaction to his decision being one of intrigue rather than outrage, and it was vindicated when Welbeck kept Alonso quiet.
And even then it would be unlikely. I would love to see it happen though. Aguero playing for us that is-flying pigs would be a bit creepy and unsettling.
We should have signed Aguero back in the day ahead of city. He's a United type player through and through. Big missed opportunity back when Fergie was keeping the purse strings tightened
The club weren't in a financial position to sign him then.We should have signed Aguero back in the day ahead of city. He's a United type player through and through. Big missed opportunity back when Fergie was keeping the purse strings tightened
Luckily Auba has stated his desire to play in Spain for Madrid. His pace with their movement would be uncomfortable.
We spent over £50m that season, 31m combined on Young and Jones. Aguero cost City in the region of £38m.
We arguably should have had both Hazard and Aguero at that time.We should have signed Aguero back in the day ahead of city. He's a United type player through and through. Big missed opportunity back when Fergie was keeping the purse strings tightened
As a top footballer these are the kind of games you become a professional for. Of course he is dissapointed, hopefully that will continue and affect the dressing-room.
Still good. It is nice to have some other club at receiving end of media frenzy, for a change.
A large part of that was spent on De Gea whilst Jones & Young's wages together when they signed would be less that what Aguero was earning. There was no way we could afford to blow 80% of the budget on one player.
You mean the injuries?We should have signed Aguero back in the day ahead of city. He's a United type player through and through. Big missed opportunity back when Fergie was keeping the purse strings tightened
No thanks,He's a great player but he seems to get injured too much.
If Pep seriously drops Aguero and doesn't play him anymore, that's them blowing the league.
No chance will Iheanacho or De bruyne false 10 win them the league. Absolute madness.

It is probably not hip and inventive enough for Pep to play Aguero as a #9. He would much rather have De Bruyne as a tipped over semi inverted and slightly left leaning false #9.
I don't think that will happen.
But I think Gabriel Jesus will be a game changer for them regardless, and if he plays as a number 9 he can be lethal.
Guardiola used his usual cautious, midfield focused approach gain tough opponents, it didn't work. That's all there is to it, I see no reason why this would be an indication that he's dropping Agüero for good. Mucho ado about nada.

Prior to a ball being kicked this season, several journalists picked up concurrent murmurs that Aguero was one of a number of players whom Guardiola had placed a question mark against.
That's not to say he didn't want him, but rather something is amiss.
The only question I need to know is for my FF team - will Aguero start this weekend? 
From Guardiola's press conference:
Seems like an odd statement. Almost implies Aguero himself is considering his future.
At the beginning of his tenure the german media also wouldn't shup up about how Guardiola would surely sell Müller and Robben.
Well he'd likely be pissed at being dropped vs Barca
