I don't see them making up 8 points if they can't beat Chelsea. Probably wont but Liverpool won there so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 200 grand a week? I'm being facetious of course, but even the notion that a player could maybe not try his hardest on the field because of a perceived slight, whilst continuing to receive that kind of wage is f**king disgusting. Suck it up buttercup. Get on the field and earn your wage. FWIW I fully expect that Aguero will perform, because I believe he's one of the better professionals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm sure he will be highly motivated. League title and champions league up for grabs, who wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to fair few people in and connected with the game on a regular basis, the amount not motivated even at the top level would astound people. I take the point on Aguerro being a pro, but still I think there will be a fraction of him not motivated to play for Pep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume his agent will have him very motivated. Given his age he has one more big contract left in him and if he wants a summer move to real Madrid then he needs to score plenty of goals between now and the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Aguerro does between now and the summer Real aren't going to come calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Benzema isn't clinical enough but fits the system. A true 9 like Aguero wouldn't be as effective in that system. It's all based on supplying Ronaldo/Bale. The striker has to almost assist more than score in most matches. It's probably the only club like that with that type of system, Suarez is a true 9 and fits Barcelona. Which is why Benzema has lasted so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) In which case I honestly think Giroud would be badass in the Real team, he's got a great 1st touch and good at lay-offs. Plus he'd give them something else with crosses into the box. He'd be a great fit, minus the pace and that he's over 30.

They will need to sign someone, but not convinced Aguero fits the bill. Great in the Premier League where defences are crap but is he up there with Suarez and lewandowski, I don't think so.

TrentVilla Posted February 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think everyone knows Ronaldo is past his best but they aren't going to replace him this summer. Certainly not with Aguerro who doesn't even play the same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, I'm saying they don't have to stick with the same formation. Aguero has played there anyway. Barcelona shifted Messi out wide to accommodate Suarez. Things never stay the same.
