I know the Skrtel rumors have appeared the more threatening-- “Player of the Season,” Newcastle save, equivocal public statements and all that-- but there’s absolutely no way the club should entertain selling Agger. It would be as great a loss, in my opinion, as losing Gerrard, Lucas, Reina or Suarez. Skrtel is excellent, of course, but Agger strikes me as a player who improves everyone in the team when he’s on the pitch. I don’t care how much City offers, or who they throw in to soften the blow-- he needs to stay.
I guess if anything confirms the divide between the quality of our defense and most of the rest of the squad (minus the obvious few), it’s the rumors of who wants them. I hope I can eat my words in January, when Barcelona offers Pedro in a straight swap for Downing.
