If/when tevez goes, how many players do we still need? 2/3

With it only being early in L.A and Buenos Aires i would of thought there will be more news later on,anyone else think the same?

I take it Sergio is in Argentina still,i know Cook might be in Madrid but surely they are talking between each other throughout!?

Madrid-Cook-Sergio-Mancini

Anyone else think the same??

BUT...stop getting so excited just because its made a yellow ticker on SSN. Real Madrid will have a big say in where Aguero's future lies, I only hope we don't muck about and we get this deal done pronto.

We don't have to let it be that way though. He has a buyout, Atletico have said they will sell for the buyout, we can pay the buyout. No need for a saga.

Either Aguero is willing to come to Manchester or he is not. Why should this take longer than a few days?

Man City make progress on Sergio Aguero transfer

By Phil McNulty Chief football writer
Aguero scored 20 goals in La Liga for Atletico last season
Manchester City are moving to finalise the signing of Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero despite the collapse of Carlos Tevez's move to Corinthians.

City boss Roberto Mancini has decided to press on with a deal for Aguero even without finance from the sale of Tevez.

The two sides are moving towards agreement on the £39m buy-out clause in the 23-year-old's contract.

BBC Sport understands no deal has been struck yet but negotiations are progressing smoothly.

The arrival of Aguero is not tied in with Tevez's future at City, who is now waiting to discover what his next move will be.

Corinthians pulled out of their move to take Tevez back to Brazil, and be reunited with his family in South America, after initially agreeing a £38.6m - 40m euros plus 4m euros in add-ons - transfer with City.

City were happy to accept payment in instalments as part of the Tevez deal, but were insisting on the customary bank guarantees associated with a deal of such magnitude and Corinthians were unable or willing to meet the demand.

City were prepared to compromise on a fee with Corinthians as Tevez was returning to South America and it also helped to solve the problem of the separation from his children that he insists is the cause of his discontent.

Inter Milan have been linked with Tevez, although they insist they cannot afford the financial package it would take to secure his signature, and if they did move it is likely City will demand much closer to their original asking price of £50m.

City will not consider any loan deals for Tevez, despite the fact that the striker who captained them to the FA Cup and a place in the Champions League, is intent on quitting the Premier League.

Tevez is currently on an agreed break after playing for Argentina in the Copa America - and City will expect him to report for training as normal with his colleagues if he is not sold by the time he is scheduled to return.

In the meantime, City have switched from their original plan to wait until Tevez was sold before signing Aguero, with Mancini believing he now needs to strengthen his striking resources irrespective of whether he is sold or not.

Born June 1988 in Quilmes
Won two FIFA Under-20 World Cup titles with Argentina
Moved from Independiente to Atletico Madrid in 2006
Had a son with Diego Maradona's daughter Giannina in 2009
Played in Europa League final win over Fulham in 2010
Tevez's desire to leave City remains as strong as ever, but he may face an added complication as City are unlikely to accept a similar fee if it is offered by any of the top European clubs who make a move to sign the 27-year-old Argentine.

Yeah the page before but thanks mate!

Ah well, sounds like there's reason to be optimistic anyways.

 

[BlueCityfan]

City signing Aguero is a HUGE step for the club.

You guys understand it? I mean...Aguero is a very popular player around the world. In the second level behind Cristiano and Messi etc...

Commercially and on the field...very good signing. Absolutely a world class player.

Because imo we are very wary of buying him whilst tevez, adebayor, bellamy and RSC are still on our books. Never mind Dzeko and balotelli. If it was as simple as us needing a striker, this deal would almost certainly be finalized by now. Somewhere inside the FFPR are holding us back. All imo of course.

 

[DSonBlue]

who still thinks that Atletico is still the best option to jump quality to a template already a millionaire.

Don't you just love Google Translate :O)

 

[bluegorton]

Anyone else getting the feeling that we will still get trumped by Real for the lads signature?

Haha not a chance in hell. If he goes to Real ill bum a chicken.

You will end up with egg on your Face.
