Aguero is the most prolific/ efficient striker of all-time in the EPL. (if healthy and playing obviously).
I'm really really high on Aguero but I'm not with you here.
Aguero is easily better than Costa though.

But it is an opinion to state that goals per minute is the best metric to measure a striker by. Henry contributed to team play in a way that Aguero doesn't, as did Van Persie. Obviously if Javier Hernandez is third on the list, then it's not the end-all of metrics, as it can be skewed by a small sample size.
Man City is set up so that Aguero can act as a poacher, with the physical partner doing the dirty work which gives Aguero the freedom to roam. Aguero's limitations as a lone striker force City's hand, as well as trying to accommodate both Toure and Silva in the same team, to employing a somewhat antiquated system.

I'm still really excited what he and Bony will do together on the field once they get some time together. That partnership could be ridiculous
Posted on 4/28/15 at 11:39 am to etm512
Bony is pretty excellent in the buildup. Still think Giroud is the best striker with his back toward goal in the league.

The other consideration is Aguero came straight into the league with City whereas other strikers played several years with shite clubs before signing with a big club. Those early years bring the average down of course. Much easier to score playing for City vs Leicester than it is playing for Leicester vs City.

People are saying "IF Aguero is healthy" like Costa has been 100% fit this season. 
It's hard to say. Kun has proven he can sustain it in the EPL over a few seasons, but Costa might do the same. They're hard to compare. Totally different players. However, if I'm a defender I don't want anything to do with either of them.

Why would Madrid want him exactly?
Chicharito already exhausted shirt sales to Mexico, seeking untapped UK market?

Haha. The image of Kane playing at Madrid entertains me. I don't think he's on that level yet.I don't know what his level is. He doesn't seem to be good at anything other than scoring, which is very important, but his game can develop.

Totally false. He has shown excellent passing ability all over the field. He has been placing the ball on point at his teammates feet all season. On long runs from midfield and on precision passes inside the box with minimal space. His passing acumen has surpassed anything that could be expected from his position. I've even thought at times he should drop back and let Soldado play up top.

I'll have to take your word for it, as I've only watched him a few times. He seems a typical English striker but I'm not discounting that there's more to his game. He's obviously very good at moving within the box but he doesn't strike me as a target forward. How does he do with his back toward goal?

He has something to work on in the off-season.

Benteke!! 
But it's Aguero.
