if you want to win the race you better get a fast car, a family wagon will only get you to the supermarket and back.
family wagon = 7th place finish
fast luxury car = scudetto+CL birth.
Which do we want?
thats not a correct comparision... if you wanna stay with your race analogy, than buying aguero is buying a bigger motor while you already have a motor that is better than most of your opponents while you have mediocre clutch, steering and run-off brakes.
since championships are won by the defense and not by the attack its needless to buy another striker of that quality.
we did not crash in the standings after quagliarellas injury because we did score to few goals, but because we conceded too many silly goals. quagliarella helped "outscoring" the opponent in the first half of the season, but thats really not a tactic anyone should aim for.
if you score a goal, you are not guaranteed to win or even draw, but if you don't concede you will at the very least draw (and never lose).
let's check the games of last season after quag got injured

in bold are the games where we scored enough goals to actually win the game.. in many cases too many conceded goals led us to drop points.
pretty much bold games, right ?
what you are basically saying is, that we would just outscore the opponent by not scoring 1 or 2 goals, but with 3 or 4 goals while we still concede 2 or 3 ? that is by no means a tactic, sir
and if you even look at the games where we failed to score and conceded 2 or 3 games you think with aguero on the field we would win those, because aguero would score a hattrick to make us forget about the defensive flaws ? we were not in those games at all and the strikers where isolated just like aguero would have been isolated and there is no way that he would make us win those matches where we conceded 2 goals more than we scored.
yeah, for sure aguero would have scored 4 goals by himself against napoli ... no problem. this is the way to solve our problems[/sarcasm]
but i guess perhaps you have to be more into the tactics side of the game to comprehend that more strikers or more attacking players on the pitch don't necessarily mean that you score more goals, because you can't get the ball from the opponent in the first place.
