Sergio Aguero Signs for Man City

Manchester City have this evening announced the signing of Sergio Aguero. After prolonged negotiations over the past twenty-four hours, both parties have finally reached agreement and the Argentine joins up at the Etihad Stadium on a five-year deal.

Having been linked with both Juventus and Real Madrid this close season, the forward has instead opted to join the Abu-Dhabi owned Premier League club and his arrival brings a true world-class talent to these shores ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Third top scorer in La Liga last season, only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scored more in Spain’s top-flight and Aguero will surely bring plenty goals to Roberto Mancini’s front line as they battle for silverware on a number of fronts.

Quite what this means for the likes of Carlos Tevez is another matter, however, but Aguero’s addition to the Premier League is exciting news for City fans and Fantasy managers alike. A look at the Season Ticker sees Mancini’s side kick-off the 2011/12 campaign with a home game against Swansea and also host Wigan in gameweek 4. Not only will he be drafted in by plenty, there’s every chance Aguero will also be sporting many Fantasy armbands come 11.30am on Saturday 13th August as the big-spenders look to start the season in commanding form.

A full Scout Report on the situation will follow tomorrow.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Is the completely insane? Cheap across the midfield with the inclusion of park who’s points per games is incredibly good for the money. I know he doesn't play every game but the squad has coverage for this. This isn’t my team btw, just an idea...

    Hart
    Luiz, Hughes, Kompany
    J.S Park, N’Zogbia, Barton, Sessegnon
    Rooney, Caroll, Suarez

    Evenin. I've decided I shan't bring in this Aguero fellow, unless he's, like, 8 mill or somet, presume he'll be 10-10.5. While he's bangin in 3 v d'Swans, I'll be stickin with VP. When he gets another 2 v notloB GW2 & VP gets 3 hairline fractures following an unfortunate fall over some acrobatic slugs act + a missed penalty + a booking v LP, best pleased I most surely shan't be. Actually Sergio...am I just a bit too stubborn? Or thick? Or both? Better stick with their boys at the back I guess. Boring but true... Like Carrick.

                I think he plays there alot. But when two strikers are fit he's on the LW?

                I dunno, but I guess Zamora & Johnson/Dembele will be up top.

    As it stands right now for my current team GW1,

    Starting XI: 4 home, 7 away

    Bench: 2 home, 1 away

    by that information alone, is it impossible for me to have a good week, or is something inherently wrong with my team?
