TheGoodJoe:


You are making blasphemous statements. If you read one of the articles I posted, the author stated, Aguero’s World Class status is not debatable. All you are doing is wasting time.

You are arguing what does not hold. How can you even compare or list Benzema over Aguero.?

From 2009 until today, Benzema has scored 111 goals in 215 games.

From 2011, two years later, Aguero has scored 102 goals in 150 games in an EPL many argue is harder to score than the La Liga.

Benzema is not up to Aguero’s level. If Aguero says he wants to join Real Madrid today, Benzema will bench.

Aguero is World Class that is the truth. Do not debate against the truth.
I did not say that Benzema is the better goalscorer. I said he is the better striker. Madrid has Ronaldo, with Ronaldo in a team you need a striker who can drift to the wings. Okay, how come you didn't include assists? Benzema trumps him considerably when it comes to assists and I can assure you that it is harder to score in the La Liga when you are not even your teams main goal threat. Not to forget that Aguero is his team's primary penalty taker, Benzema has never scored a penalty kick for Madrid, so maybe you will minus that too and we will see where Aguero ends up. When you also talk about chances created, dribbles per 90mins and so on, benzema comes out on top, you can check it on whoscored.com.

PS: A man's opinion is never a blasphemy. I am sure other people actually know that Aguero is not even close to Suarez, Benzema or Lewandowski, that bit is certain.

It is Blasphemy when you say a World Class player is not World Class and hyped. Is Benzema on the pitch to provide assist or score goals. Aguero is better than Benzema.

Aguero has a true World Class tag and respected by top coaches.

There is no debate. Aguero is World Class.

Any thing less than Aguero is World Class is not true. Then saying Aguero is just hype is Blasphemy.

You are making biased comments. You said from 2009 till now, how come you didn't remember that Higuain was ahead of Benzema between 2009 and 2011 and Benzema used to play primarily as the winger there? Thus I included assists. And when you play for Real Madrid, the primary target is to get Ronaldo into a good position so he can shoot and score, thus the need to recognize his assists too. Finally Aguero has scored 25 penalty goals, do Minus that from his 102 goals total and see just how different their goals to game ratio is.

Are you trying to prove that Aguero is not World Class? That is where you are totally wrong. You are saying 2009. Why not say 215 games by Benzema with 111

Aguero in a tougher League with 150 games scored 102 goals.

Apart from that, compare the kind of goals Aguero scores. We have lots of goals of Aguero skinning three defenders or more to score. Aguero comfortably hits from long ranges.

Do your self a favor. Watch Aguero’s best goals and Benzema's best goals and see if they are close.

I repeat, If Aguero wants to join Real Madrid today, Benzema will bench without complaining.

Lol. I am not going to convince you more than can convince me sha. See in madrid, Modric can shoot a lot better than Aguero, he used to do it in Tottenham, but he went to Madrid and stopped. Bale too hardly shoots though he has started shooting this season a little. So in Madrid Ronaldo does all the outside 18 business, you can't use that against Benzema. And Benzema gets a lot more injured than Aguero, so injuries should not be considered here. Let's just agree to disagree. To me he is just a good player, nothing more to him

That is, you have chosen to ignore the facts. Ignore his amazing goals he has scored over the years. Ask Chelsea fans who watch their games regularly and tell them to you Aguero is not World Class.

That is like me saying, to me Messi is not World Class.

The fact is, the guy is World Class. His ability is breathtaking. Aguero scores goals that make you wonder is that possible.

His stats do not lie. There is only one striker you can put ahead Aguero and that is Suarez.

So you can ignore the numerous facts and feel.

Mickael2:
Injuries reduced his goal stats and penalties inflated it. Do you know how many penalties he has scored this season? For me he is no where near the best strikers in this planet, my top 10 would be:
1) Suarez clearly
2) Benzema, quite underated
3) Lewandowski, enough said
4) Aubeumeyang, wrong spelling
5) Griezman, underated too
6) Higuain, underated
7) Zlatan, enough said
cool Kane, a little raw but ok
9) maybe this is where I can insert Aguero. Don't get me wrong, he is good but world class? Far from it, you mentioned his goal against QPR, for Christ's sake QPR?! Queen's Park Rangers! Tell me one good defender they have! Taiwo? Onuoha? I think they also came with Bassong then. Yeah, he scored 16goals in 17 games, none against Leichester, none against Tottenham, how many against Arsenal? How many against Manu? There is a reason why Man City had the worst record against the top 6 teams and that's because their starman did not deliver then, and Yaya is now too old to cover for him when it matters
Looool you're putting harry kane and aubamayeng ahead of Aguerohuh? Now this is funny.
Only 3 strikers on that list are better than Aguero.
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by enomakos(m): 7:07pm On Jun 03, 2016

Yes I did. When it matters most he almost always buckles. He either scores a penalty or nothing else and he is injury prone. He is not world class, he is just a good player with a lot of hype

Sergio Aguero

One of the best forwards in the world. His finishing is ruthless, his movement is impeccable and his aggression is phenomenal. Okay, Mike Tyson he is not, but a world-class forward he certainly is.

Aguero is City’s attack pretty much. Anytime City are firing on all cylinders, he’s at the heart of it. Oh, and his last-minute goal against QPR to win City the Premier League wasn’t bad either. Comfortably the best striker in English football.

http://realsport101.com/sir-alex-ferguson-is-right-there-are-only-three-world-class-players-in-the-premier-league/

At the other end, Sergio Aguero’s name was raised. And it’s hard to argue that the Manchester City hitman is not among the world’s most deadly centre-forwards.

Aguero’s title as world class doesn’t need to be debated.

Imagine him saying Aguero buckles up when on numerous occasions Aguero rises to the occasion. Like his Aguero moment against QPR. The last shot of the EPL won Manchester City the title or his two late goals against Bayern Munich last two seasons that qualified us for the knock out stage of the Champions league

Chelsea forward Victor Moses and Norway-based defender William Troost-Ekong have been added to the provisional list for the Rio Olympics by Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia.

Victor Moses is 25 and he will be an option as one of three overage players allowed for the competition

I can't even bring my self to argue about aguero being world class.he is world class,the best striker in the premier league and top 5 strikers in the world at least,
When someone says benzema doesn't score much for Madrid because of ronaldo, I ask myself is he holding back cos of ronaldo or is ronaldo helping him out.
Benzema is world class but does he score that much for his country where there is no ronaldo.or does he top the assist chart.
If I need a striker for my team Suarez lewy Aguero ibra over benzema anytime.
But Aguero no try against Madrid sha

On that list, I only pick Suarez and Zlatan above Aguero. Zlatan is a class act!

I believe Lewan would not be able to lace the shoes of a fit Aguero.

I still put Aguero ahead of Lewandowski. Aguero has the ability to take on defenders and score more Solo goals than both Lewandowski and Benzema.

As for Zlatan. I think it is a case of preference but I still take Aguero.

Zlatan, Suarez and Aguero are top class strikers. Suarez leads the pack but Aguero vs Zlatan I think it will be a thing of preference.

I respect both and I can not fault anyone who will pick Zlatan over Aguero. Just as I won't fault anyone who picks Aguero over Zlatan. These guys are monsters in the box.

Very nice point. Even before Aguero went to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona always wanted him.

Aguero was always wanted by both Real Madrid and Barcelona. Any striker signed by both clubs is against their wishes because Aguero tops their wishlist.

Why?

Is Lewandowski a better footballer? Does Lewandowski work harder than Aguero. When things get tough, Aguero drops deep to motivate his team. Aguero scores goals in tight situation. Aguero can take on two or three men easier than Lewandowski.

So why would you want Lewandowski ahead of Aguero

Lewandowski is also skillful...just doesn't show it. I think he also has better technical ability than Aguero and is a more clinical finisher.

He's a better classic 9. Better hold up play, better touch and better finishing.

So you are saying he is the better player because he is a better classic number 9. That is like saying Lewandowski is a better attacker than Messi when Messi plays up front because Lewandowski has better hold up play.

From your definition, Lewandowski is better than Suarez and you would buy Lewandowski before Suarez.

Yeah. Giroud is more Skillful than Messi. It is just that he does not show it.

There is no way at all that Lewandowski is close to Aguero in skills. That one is not up for debate.

He does not have a better technical ability than Aguero. This is not thinking. Aguero used to play as a creative attacking midfielder for Independiente and Atletico Madrid. He was magnificent. One of the best.

Lewandowski can not think of trying it.

Lewandowski is a fantastic finisher with top quality in what you described.

What makes Aguero better and I mean far better than Lewandowski is that, your classic 9 needs the team to make him excel at all times. Especially the midfield. They bring the ball, he holds up play, they catch up, collect the ball and they give him through pass or cross for him to score.

Aguero might not have the height and build but he makes up with his flawless ability, pace and hard work.

When Aguero's teammates can not get the ball to him, he drops deep, moves the ball and it there is still now way, he strikes from far or dribbles and scores.

Aguero also scores goals from tight angles when it seems it is impossible for him to score.

These two goals will show you why I put Aguero over Lewandowski any day.

Lewandowski might be more clinical because his team mates do most of the work and put it on a platter for him. Aguero most times does a lot of running and struggles to be in position to score.

Lewandowski's role is easier than Aguero. His goals are easier than Aguero’s own.

Skill as in footwork?? No way is Aguero more skillful than Lewandowski. Like I said, he has a better touch than Aguero. You're forgetting Lewandowski also played as a number 10 in his first season at bvb. I agree he way not be as fluid as aguero, but he can play as a target man and also make runs in behind the defence. He's a complete number 9.
