    Agruero

    Not too excited about this.

    A lot of money and instant friction in the clubhouse. He's not going to sit peacefully while bamford starts in front of him. Not sure he'll do the dirty work that bamford does so well.

    would be incredible to have him, bamford, raphinha and harrison on the pitch at the same time.

    can't help but think we've got a U-23 that could step in next year or someone a lot less money from elsewhere.

    He'd last the first training session then go down with a "thigh strain" and be sidelined for the season.

    Move along, it's all click bait anyway (I hope!).

    Not really comparable, Harrison is still on Citys books and despite our interest in getting him transferred, that remains the case, whereas with Aguerro, they have effectively said he's past his sell by date at the club and surplus to requirement.

    Not a move I for one would welcome, would smack of going back to the "let's see if we can wring the last little bit out of an old lag", when we all know that next season the challenge of matching/bettering this seasons performance (and Bielsa-ball) would kill the guy.

    Sure it's all click bait, but shows how far we've come in a short time with bielsa when it's even talked about like this.

    Lets hope not, great player, but age not on his side, may struggle with MB regime, and wage packet on one player would be massive.
    Money better spent on building for the future.

    Sometime I think these enquiries by the club are more about PR. Leeds being mentioned in taking on a world class striker must surely make other players look at our club more positively.

    He cant be that far gone if some of the best teams in the world are fighting for his signature and then Chelski & Spurs!

    Let them chase him, they have pockets deep enough to waste a few £10s of millions, we don't.

    Don’t think he would survive a week of Bielsa training at this stage of his career. Suspect he is China bound.
