Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[PhilM]

Yeah but how many times do we hear the thud of the ball and the players shouting.

From my seat, every match.

That's down to his club being Inter Milan than him not being CL quality though isn't it...

Doesn’t really matter.

By the time halland is his age he’d be on about 50 goals.

Semantics anyway. Of the list you produced I think you can make reasonable arguments that he’s better than a lot of them.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

That's how good he is: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-aguero/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/26399

He’s a great player, no doubt. But he’s just not quite on the level of the guys I listed before, in my opinion.

Of course I am partially reacting to the hyperbole of match commentators!

Compare him to Henry, for example. He could score, while also being a creative forward who would make goals for others.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I don't know if I'd fully go along with that, but at least since Pep got there the team is so good that everyone scores and assists for fun. It is hard to figure out individually how good each is.

I always thought David Silva was there greatest player (if anything he was underrated, at least by the Spanish), and now it’s De Bruyn.

Mental to think Mourinho in effect gave away Lukaku and De Bruyne. He effectively hobbled Chelsea for years to come!

lol

Players not scoring most their goals in Austria:

Suarez 14 / 23
Werner 27 / 37
Icardi 20 / 31

Hig has had a meh season and Cavani has barely played with injury (~7 games in the league) so won't include those for fairness.

Don’t throw PSG stats at me.

Suarez and higuain are overweight and past their best now. Werner is good, but I’m haaland over him all day. He’s a more complete player.

Would anyone be surprised if he bagged 30 goals a season playing for City or Liverpool ? Really doesn't seem a stretch to imagine it but I guess that's because his entire career so far has just been one giant goal scoring bonanza with no drops in form or injuries.

On a side note I've always been fascinated by how Aguero has never been seriously linked with a move away from Man City. He's obviously one of the best strikers in the world so you'd imagine some of the traditional big names would have shown interest during his time at City... but seemingly nothing, no offers, and he's never pushed for a move away from City either.

Wages most likely. City pay high wages so he doesn't really have a reason to push for a move away. To think that Sterling earns more than him on 300k a week is utter madness.

David Silva was a brilliant player but he never won games, Yaya Toure won them leagues.

Deffo mate. Used to steam roll through defences on his day. He carried them for quite a bit.

Yep unreal player. Went to a Wigan game v city and he was unreal, then stormed past the Wigan team out of nowhere and ripped the net open. Silva as good as he is was part of the Spanish hypberbole.

I think this may be the first pocket post in forum history. Someone confirm.

That Suarez goal against Newcastle is so overrated. I scored exactly the same type of goal when I was a kid.

This Greuther Furth vs Hamburg game in Bundesliga 2 been more entertaining than any game I watched yesterday
