Sergio Aguero

Excellent news.

It sounds like Mancini is really sold on him, but the trick is Cook and co. making the financing work.

Make it work, Cookie. :)

Or getting lucky and hoping that no one else like Real Madrid come in for him.

And watch effigies of the Atletico board members burned by a mob outside their stadium. It would be like Cook selling Kompany to the rags.

Seems like they can avoid a lot of unnecessary turmoil by selling to us.

Aguero going to Real Madrid would be like Kompany going to United.

It's not going to happen.

That is the EXACT analogy I was going to make - wierd.

As long as the player's head is not turned by any interest from them. Transfers only happen if players sign the contract. eg sanchez

Or like Sol Campbell to Arsenal, or Figo to Real, or countless others. Just saying, it happens.

Obviously stranger things have happened in football..

BUT - and this is the difference - neither of your examples were of players in their prime. And also, Sol didn't go directly to Arsenal.

It's happened so many times before in the history of football though. Campbell, Figo, Mo Johnston (via Nantes but the point remains valid). Just because we all want Aguero to come here doesn't mean the possibility of him going to Madrid is lessened, especially given the comments about Atletico just being his employers etc. I personally don't think it will happen but until I see confirmation on the official site I'm gonna be nervous

EDIT: In response to the above post, Campbell was most definitely in his prime, Figo perhaps not but he wasn't ancient. I don't really think it matters unless the player is a proper kid, a transfer from one rival to another is ALWAYS going to be contentious

Difference here might be that the club have a rival suitor willing to pay full price - I don't remember but was there any other club willing to splash out that sort of crazy money for Figo, as an example?

Kun's comments re: no loyalty to Atletico were (I believe) only to preserve his sell on value. He doesn't hate Atletico, so he isn't going to jepordise their capability to get the most money for him and his club by admitting he would happily play for Real, is he?

In a lot of ways it's heart warming to see a lot of our more pessimistic doom and gloom Blue brothers and sisters still hold their old views on City affairs. I mean it's City right? Surely something is gunna leap from the darkness and end us with a single blow... lol

"He might sign for Madrid" and "I doubt we will sign him unless we sell Tevez first, We have to balance the books"...

OK first off yeah, Real Madrid are, well they're Real Madrid LOL. I don't think there's a bigger club on earth including AC Milan, Barcelona or the rags. And it's certainly no shame to admit that they are a more apealing proposition than us and indeed 99% of clubs. but the fact is everything that is being reported all leads to the Conclusion that Aguero will be a City player. So chill out.

On the "We have to sell Tevez First" thing, No we don't. Indeed if we want Aguero we simply cannot afford to wait for any possible Tevez deal that may not even happen. Aguero has already stated that he is off no matter what and Athletico have confirmed it so it's now or never.

i'm as certain as i can possibly be in any transfer that Aguero is a done deal. Mancini seems to be pushing hard for it, ALL the media outlets believe so, Our own Tolmie believes so... And so do I

"The past was yours but the futures mine" - CTID!

Kompany is going to the rags?

Fuckin' transfer forum...
