Like Werner? Or Morata? Or Torres? 🤔

Wouldn't say no to him as long as his injuries allow him to play.

Lingard driving West Ham to Champions League, Drinkwater aims to play for Chelsea again, Aguero is linked with Leeds.. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore

According to Argentinian media we are close.

Unless we change formation it will be something like this.

            Havertz(Aguero)

Pulisic(Werner)  Mount(Ziyech)

If we get him in, its a huge signing especially for a free transfer.

I mean look at Cavani at United this season as an example. And considering Aguero is also younger and a better player probably at current when he is fit and firing. 

His injury record as we’ve mentioned before is also hugely exaggerated.

For 1 season, 18 months, 2 seasons, he would  be better than hanging our coat on the ever decreasing chance we might get Haaland or on the chance Timo Werner or Kai Havertz are going to score those sort of goals we need next season. Yes I would hope their goal returns improve but we need a striker who can get 15-20 goals a season also on top of players who can contribute 10+ goals from other positions such as Werner, Mount and Havertz.

I agree. Strikers his age or older are still performing at very good level in every top league. Benzema, Messi, Suarez, Ronaldo, Cavani, Ibra, Lewa. If we can  keep him fit and get one great season out of him it could make us title contenders. Reminds me of how ManUre signed RvP. Admittedly they signed him on the top of his game and maybe I am stuck in 2014 still thinking he is the best striker in the premier league. Obviously I'd rahte rhave signed him 10 years ago. But looking only at this season who has really stood out striker wise in PL? In the goalscoring charts no one has hit 20 goals yet and most guys up there have had like 10 pens. Only calvert lewin has a decent record of non-pen goals this season. Unlike some fantasy signings like Haaland, Agüero knows the league. Also he is maybe the best striker at creating goals on his own and scoring from half chances in big games the league has seen in the past few seasons. His fitness is obviously crucial and I have not seen him for weeks so no insight on this but I refuse to believe he has suddenly regressed this much that we should not be all over this. He complements our style of play well trying to move the ball swiftly on the ground. He reads space well and can pass. He also is not afraid to take a shot on from not-optimal positions. Pep has forcefully kept him small for 2 years now in order to push his crown prince Gabriel who is not even fit to tie Agüero's laces. But in CL Pep has paid the price for it and might well do so again in PL next season.

Please not another 30+ striker. Makes a big difference to the press having Aguero/Giroud and a younger, agile striker. Just bring in someone in their prime - If not Haaland then someone else in the prime age bracket

Of all the possible options, Aguero is the best for Chelsea.

I would be all for it. Free transfer, proven one of the best goalscorers in EPL history... He still has a lot to offer I feel. However he should be ready to play a squad role, not expect undisputed starting role. If both Giroud and Tammy leave (they probably will if we sign a striker), he would be competing with Havertz and Werner for the ST position, so there is a good chance he can make the position his own if he manages to stay fit. He'd be a great band-aid for 1-2 seasons until we find a more permanent solution.

Having said that, I don't think he will stay in England, he will most likely end up in Barca.

In my opinion this transfer could work out. I see Havertz as a long-term option as a false nine. I think our general play upfront would be so much better when Havertz plays this position than say someone like Haaland. Pulisic and our other wingers profit much more when playing with Kai. 

Aguero could be a good option for flat-track bullying (which is a problem under Tuchel so far) for two seasons. Similar to Cavani at United.

I am afraid we are needlessly getting our hopes up. He is as good as signed up for Bankruptcelona
