Costa.

Aguero is too much of a dwarf.

Lionel Messi
1.69 m

Sergio Aguero
1.73 m

messi has two times aguero's speed burst, plus he got `em dribbling skills plus flawless technique and finishing.
That means strenght isn't really needed.

Aguero is a top finisher with an excellent movement. Given the fact he rarely dribbles past 1, let alone 2 defenders, if denied space by a 2 lines defending he's utterly useless.
That means strenght is needed.

being a 173cm dwarf doesnt mean your not strong, id say aguero is pretty strong, and with a low centre of gravity it helps him stay on his feet when getting knocked by bigger defenders.
messi is very strong for his size. tevez is also. no one is expecting them to beat central defenders in the air though from long balls, when teams are parking da bus {by a 2 lines defending he's utterly useless}

didn't say he's not strong for his height, just said that he cannot use raw physicality to get past a defender. In terms of dribbling he's meh, he has good movement though and tries to exploit this by either dropping deep or moving constantly. By doin it he also creates pockets of space for silva, who seemed to thrive behind the striker. Get aguero out put dzeko in and silva will struggle to make an impact in that role.

Aguero had an excellent day yesterday mainly because tottenham ignored all these and looked unorganized in defence. Kaboul dived into stupid tackles too early, failed to tight-man-mark aguero (he was decent denying him at times) but mainly stood too far away.

Costa on the other hand imo has way more versatility.

well although agree on some points, costa might be more versatile, and also u can defend from the front and play long ball football as chelsea love costa leading the line.

dont really need raw phyisicality to get past a defender, if that means power and brute strength. Speed is key, for getting past a defender, keeping the ball at feet is where, strength and power comes in. aguero more likely than not, is looking to swivel take a few touches then shoot, not hold it up.

They are both pricks, fair enough, but Kun is a prick in a banterous and mischievious way while Diego is dirty as fuck and likes to do tons of shit when the ref isn't looking.

Sergio Aguero is really strong. Just look at him in the WC finals.
