Aguero signing a game changer for Manchester City?

Trading Sergio Aguero for Carlos Tevez is good business sense, given that Tevez wanted out and father-in-law Maradona comes free with Sergio. That it is now emerging that Tevez is going nowhere and Mancini is lining up a Aguero/Tevez frontline with Balotelli and Eden Dzeko as backups should worry Manchester United and Chelsea immensely. Of course, many Manchester City fans must be wondering whether they have got the new Tevez, Balotelli or Bellamy, given the way Kun Aguero has shot off his mouth in the early days. Some interesting quotes so far attributed to him. ‘Maradona made some ‘noise’ in his day and I want to roar a bit in my day – now!’ [caption id=“attachment_59001” align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“Most experts agree that Sergio Aguero looks to be the most interesting signing of Manchester City.

I’m the Che Guevara of modern soccer.’ While Aguero has subsequently denied some of these comments, in footballing terms the comparison to Tevez and Balotelli is unfair to Aguero. Notwithstanding the £38 million, the five-year deal at £200k/week it took to sign him from Athletico, most experts agree that Maradona’s son-in-law looks to be the most interesting signing of Manchester City’s Sugar Daddy funded revolution. If, as anticipated, Nasri joins as well, City would be bustling with creative talent in the middle of the park. Analysing other personnel at City, there is a semblance of solidity in all major departments. This, coupled with the stability of no major exits (all this talk about Tevez notwithstanding) and all major signings of last couple of years settling down to super-millionaire lives in the northwest of England, City certainly merits being taken seriously. Also, the folks from Abu Dhabi don’t seem to have itchy fingers when it comes to managerial appointments, which is showing in the stability of Mancini and Co. While this patience will be severely tested if the season does not begin well, City finally looks like joining the fight to be the best club in all of Manchester. Maybe, even England. On the Tevez front, looks like Carlos and Kia Joorbachian clearly overplayed their hand. With the collapse of the Corinthians deal, looks like the £200k/week earning Carlito will have to slum it out with latest whiner Balotelli at Manchester. The only thing certain about the Tevez drama is that it will repeat itself again in January.
