Why Sergio Aguero can be the Premier League's top scorer Sergio Aguero holds the record as Manchester City’s record transfer fee paid. For a fee believed to be approximately £38m, he arrived on these shores from Atletico Madrid in summer of 2011 with a reputation for skill, speed, and goals galore. He has not disappointed. On Saturday, Aguero played in his 100th competitive game for Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium against Norwich. He marked the occasion, in typical fashion, with a goal. His 58th goal in those 100 appearances, a phenomenal return made even better when you consider he doesn’t take free-kicks and only 5 of those goals have come from the penalty spot. In the Argentinian international, Manchester City have, in my opinion, the most consistently lethal striker in the Premier League. He has unbelievable pace, and incredible power for a man of his stature, and can score goals from all angles with his powerful shot, best demonstrated by his blistering strike at Stamford Bridge in City’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea recently, which left Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal totally shell-shocked. He has the players to lay on the assists for him too. Alvaro Negredo is more than just a goalscorer, and will provide ‘flick ons’ for onrushing strikers like Aguero, who prefer to play off the last man. Bosnian forward Edin Dzeko is in a similar mould, whilst players like Stefan Jovetic, Jesus Navas and David Silva are the types of creative players than any striker would thrive upon. Between them, they possess the ability to create enough chances for any striker to be in the hunt for the golden boot, never mind one with the quality that ‘Kun’ Aguero possesses. There will be other players pushing the former Atletico man all the way of course. On the other side of the city of Manchester, Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney will have their eyes on the prize. However, much has been made of their partnership and whether it really works, whilst Moyes has struggled to get his team firing on a regular basis so far this season. Of course, Van Persie and Rooney are still two of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League and should not be ignored in any discussion of who could be the Premier League’s top scorer – but will United be as clinical in front of goal as The Citizenss this season? Judging from Manchester City’s rampant 7-0 weekend win against Norwich, and the fact that they have already scored 11 goals more than the Red Devils, you’d have to suggest not. Elsewhere, Liverpool’s troublesome twosome of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge will also be mentioned in the hunt for the trophy. They’ve been two of the pace-setters in the race for the golden boot, but will they get in the way each other? Towards the end of Liverpool’s 2-0 loss at Arsenal last week, we started to see the first signs of cracks in the relationship. They both have a tendency to be a little greedy in front of goal, and this could hinder them over the course of the season. There will be others. Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku have outside chances, whilst Roberto Soldado, despite not hitting form yet, has got himself a few goals from the penalty spot. However for me, Aguero has all the attributes required to go forth and be the Premier League’s leading goalscorer this season.
