Man yuh starting to sound like Wenger with that kinda Int'l talk,lol. Sorry but he's never really proven himself in a England shirt to retain his Liverpool form, you can't rate someone as the top vs. someone that's doing well on 2 different fronts. if they're not able to duplicate the same form for their country. If I went on Raul's form for Real Madrid from 97 up until Ronaldo's 1st 2 years ah would called him top3. But his form for Spain was subpar when it mattered.

It may be getting harder or Aguero to fly below the radar but I doubt most managers were as dilligent in planning how to neutralize him as they would plan for the likes of CR7, Messi, Villa etc.

I wasn't discounting CR7 and Messi. Yes it's a bit pre-mature, but he's been on a tear for sometime. Atletico has inferior talent to a G14 club, so it's easier to "zero-in" on Aguero than CR7 or Messi.
He's had a better 07/08 than Messi (although injuries played a factor). I want to see how he performs in the CL against the G14 teams. Liverpool should be the toughest test in Aguero's club career at any level. |
