Well here's where your grasping a straws to affirm something that is largely not believable.

1.) There is no proof that their was anyone who sent the Menos Grande anymore then it being a uncommon hollow incursion. Ishida could have simply miscalculated his results as any amount of bait could cause any number of hollow to show it, there is no set amount predetermined. Its also the manipulation taking part there was entirely Urahara's manipulation trying to develop Ichigo even more. To what end well specifically having to do with Aizen yes, as he knew of Aizen's manipulations as far back as 100 years ago. So was Aizen manipulating Ichigo no Urahara was if for no other reason then Rukia's protection and his own interests as it related to making sure he messed up whatever Aizen was planning. Aizen never said i sent a hollow he simply stated an event. Aizen himself in the SS arc counts Ichigo as an agent of Urahara, to which didn't find out until Aizen stated it that he and Rukia had been manipulated by Urahara.

2.) Of course Gin could identify him, he works for Aizen. But we knew Aizen knew about Ichigos arrival and that he was sent by Urahara. Aizen explained that in the SS arc. Gin didn't know it was him until Yoruichi said his name and then he put the puzzle together noting ichigos hair and his zanpakuto size. He was surprised that ichigo even existed.

3.) Aizen's talking to Renji had nothing to do with Ichigo. The conversation had no bearing on Ichigo. It was simple manipulation talking of a conspiracy. Which helped destabilize the Gotei 13. The same manipulation that got Toshiro to blame gin and confuse Momo. That was for the shinigami benefit of manipulation. There is nothing there remotely to suggest an outsider was involved. Conspiracy involves internal manipulation not outside influence. His fight with Ichigo was for personal reasons about Rukia, but the conversation was about issues in soul society outside of Ichigo's control.

4.) There really is no point to elaborate on Ulquiorra and Yammy focusing on Ichigo when Ulquiorra stated that up front. We can't safely say anything then what was stated, assessing a potential threat makes sense. He was a human boy who gained shinigami powers, invaded soul society pretty much beat the the elite of the gotei 13 and achieved bankai in a matter of days. Thats something worth taking note of. People can only claim deeper meaning now with Aizen's words, which still dont make sense because that wasn't remotely presented before or hinted at. Aizen had shown little to no interest in ichigo besides that one time. He never had any hand with warning Ichigo about anything. In fact it was ichigo's choice to advance and he was contacted by outsides party who hadn't associated with shinigami in the past 100 years least of all Aizen.

5.) There is nothing hidden about what transpired in Hueco Mundo we all know Aizen was watching and was quite amused by the whole thing. To assume he had been checking ichigo's improvement is going a little far except for noting to the espada that since their showing in soul society Ichigo and his friends are not to be taken lightly. He addresses that much, but all that is is observation anyone could make. He had not stake in any of the random movements of the arrancar or Ichigo besides when he told Ulquiorra to stay behind.

6.) Anyone observing Ichigo could know that. In fact Ichigo pretty much comes out and tells his opponent why he fights all the time. Also note that Aizen acts like a teacher when fighting captains as well so thats just his personality its not as personal as specifically for ichigo. He feels he is so powerful and intelligent and wise that he has something to teach everyone he feels is below him be it the gotei 13 captains, vizards or ichigo.

7.) Its already been proven that it wouldnt have matter had ichigo seen it or not. He can overpower most others anyhow. That was just a good strategy plan set up by Gotei 13 for Ichigo being in a better position cause he wouldnt be fooled by it. He in fact could have showed him this past chapter or at any time he so choses. Trying to find meaning behind why is pointless as trying to find meaning behind why the momo thing took place when he could have just simply taken them out without all the illusion.

Also no one besides Urahara and Ryuken has been shown to know who Isshin really is there have been plenty of times others have been around or near and never made the connection to whom his father might have been. The fact that Aizen knows any humans by name makes no sense and serves no purpose.

The point here is that looking for justification where there is to many holes can't work. Hence why so many find Aizen's words largely unbelievable and fishing for answers were none exist or just the opposite is true or more likely doesn't help. In order to justify this new chapter every aizen fan will be looking in every chapter to see if aizen is hiding behind some bush or popping his head out of some building that a fight was near to prove he could have known all this.
