According to the online store that is what his shirt will be

They were selling shit loads at the stadium store yesterday so I would hope so LOL.

Don't like to criticize our great club but you would have thought they would have anticpated a large number of fans turning up for the shirt. However the queues for printing were horrendous!

And how many printing machines were there?

If one or more was out of commission, then it's fair enough to criticise, but if they were all working, I don't think anyone can call the club.

After all, there are days when hardly anyone is there wanting shirt printing, so there's no point in having too many machines.

And after all, it was the first Saturday after the lad was signed, so it's not really surprising that it was very busy.

i went to the city store and only had to wait 10 mins max also free printing to celebrate the new signing well done city !

Got the lads shirt yesterday, he is definately having Kun Aguero (with dots), he is definitely having 16 this season and while you can have the CL badge and respect badge, only Premier league numbers are available for now. CL Numbers from late August apparently. All other players numbers are susceptible to change (although some are clearly unlikely) this was the official line from the club yesterday.

Don't know if that helps anyone but there you have it.

Wish we'd fucked Ade off and given Aguero 9, sounds better from a marketing point of view. Doesn't really make much difference though.

i've only seen "ü" in one other word before, vergüenza which means shy.

for the record, agüero means omen/prediction in spanish.

Thanks for the info.

A ver, os explico (let's see, here's the explanation):

In any Spanish word which is spelt with a 'g' followed by a 'u', then the 'u' is normally not pronounced. Most English speakers pronounce 'San Miguel' beer wrongly, something like 'San Migwel'.

When the letter 'u' follows a 'g' and needs to be pronounced, then a dieresis (like the German umlaut) is added. Spanish orthography and pronunciation are identical, unlike English.

Other words, apart from 'Agüero' are:

ambigüedad
pingüino
vergüenza
cigüeña
lingüística
desagüe

Saludos!

Gracias.

I studied Spanish for two years, but only at a beginners level and as I said, I've never come across the 'ü' before.

So does that mean that San Miguel is pronounced 'San Migel' and the 'u' is added to make the 'g' sound like it does in 'give' rather than it doed in 'gin'?

The letter 'g' in Spanish has two different possible pronunciations, depending on the vowel or consonant that it is followed by.

It's velar before consonants and before the vowels 'a', 'o' and 'u'. 'Gamba', for example, is pronounced like the English velar 'g' in 'garden'.

Before the vowels 'i' and 'e' it's more complicated for English speakers, as it's pronounced with a fricative sound, as in 'girasol'. The sound of the 'g' here sounds as if you're spitting!

Sorry about the technical stuff!

Thanks. And the technical stuff's not a problem; I'm a linguist, though in French and German.

So 'g' and 'c' behave in much the same way as they do in French?
Although I realise there are slight differences in pronunciation.

I find languages and linguistics very interesting.
