Who would you rather?

Aguero for me. I think he would fit in perfectly here because he can also play as a SS. As far as i'm aware Pato is an out an out Striker. With Carlo likeing the christmas tree formation he can sit behind Drogba and work his magic. Also in the 4-3-3 recently (most notably yesterday against Stoke) he let the forwards roam. Aguero would be perfect for that i think.

anelka would have to be sold either way, and from what carlo said about not wanting torres i doubt anelka will be going anywhere

That could mean he is after another player though. He ruled out Torres, not a new striker.

Aguero

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Aguero. Why? Because he's the cheaper option and I feel has more experience.

[Ollie 4,400]

Aguero.....He's done it against the top teams, he's got the physique, really reminds me of Carlos Tevez and he's very composed oh and he's said he wants to come. That's enough for me. Pato is a bit lightweight, not a premiership type player for me.

I genuinely believe Sergio Aguero is on his way to the Bridge anyway

Aguero is not as consistent as pato though. Pato is very very consistent aguero blows hot and cold, pato is the better player but he has his injuries !

Same can be said for Pato, i have watched alot of AC games this season and he goes to sleep sometimes and just cant get in the game. Both player do not have the service that they would get here. So either way they would both be great signings.

David Villa is 29 next year so I hope to God we don't go for him. Ever.

villa is at least 5 years too old

Nah, if he was 25 or 26 I won't really mind because we can still get at least 5 years out of him.

Regardless of how old Villa is, he is batter than both, and he has consistently proven he can score goals by scoring 20 or more per season in la liga for the last five years. In my opinion he is the best striker in the world alongside Samuel Eto'o and Drogba, would be a massive aquisition and would definatly improve our current squad and attacking options and would make a serious statement of intent if we want to win the champions league

Reminds me of when we went for Sheva, instead of other younger strikers. Like Fernando Torres, for example. We were being linked to him quite a lot before he went to 'Poo.

We cannot keep comparing every player above 28 to Sheva, it is simply ignorant to think like that. Sheva was a mistake, but I do not believe age was the main factor, Drogba is 32 and he is fine, Anelka is 31 and he too is fine, so why wouldnt Villa at 29 be fine?

Sure, but why not buy a player who we can get more years out of? Instead of going for a player whom we'll have to start to look for replacements in 2 years?

We went for DD and Essien when they were 26 and 22 respectively. Or how about Ivanovic and Bosingwa? We bought they were only 24 and 25 and now we won't have to worry about the right-back position for several more years. Why not do the same thing always?
