No different to Arsenal most seasons then...I actually hope they beat Manure for the sake of variety in the league

I'm guessing someone said the same about Ronaldo at United.
Next big statement signing from Real or Barca could easily target Aguero and I wouldn't be shocked if he felt like making a move. Particularly if City continue to struggle in the Champions League.

Easier said than done, even with tons of money.
the thing is man utd couldnt realistically pay ronaldo the wages that real madrid could (this was in addition to the fact that ronaldo probably wanted a move to RM for footballing reasons). I think Emirates Marketing Project can and will pay aguero astronomical wages when the time comes to do so. who knows, maybe he will even be the first premier league player to hit 500k a week.

Could be. But I think SWP's worries aren't unfounded. Surely true that City are capable of keeping hold of him, but equally true that he could have his head turned by one of the Spanish giants. Chance to win something different, seemingly a better chance to win the CL, chance to play with better players in a warmer climate...
Bingo. Let's face it, it would be a travesty if a player like Aguero/Suarez/Bale doesn't win the Champions League in their career. Bale, with all due respect, couldn't have done it - so he moved on and, lo and behold, won it last season. Suarez acknowledged that he was carrying Liverpool, but not even he could have dragged them to the Champions League - so he moved to Spain to play alongside Messi and Ronaldo.
Perhaps we are better equipped, but when was the last time we were actually impressive in the Champions League? I just know that we won't ever win it - call it an inferiority complex or whatever, but I can't see it happening. And as impressive as Benzema has been over the past two seasons or so, I can't help feel that Madrid wouldn't hesitate swapping him for our Sergio.
I resent the bit about the climate though, nowt wrong with a bit of Manc drizzle to wake you up in the mornings

Since that stat was posted in October, Aguero has scored 10 goals and picked up 3 assists in 8 games.
@everything_utd: @UtdReport Old stat! Aguero has 66 goals in 101 games. Rooney has 61 goals in 100 games!!

For comparison, since the start of 2011/12 the combined league output of Adebayor + Soldado + Defoe is 64 goals and 27 assists in 193 games!
So at least our strikers have managed to out-assist Aguero between them, albeit it took them an extra 92 games

I know it's an old stat, but damn Rooney is really under appreciated

Those of us who have been Spurs Lovers for a while are used to the gut-wrenching feeling of utter despair. Personally I felt worse the year we bottled our 10 point and 2-0 up against the Goons lead. THAT was our chance to make the proper step up and leap-frog those Pikey Gooner Plumstead Sewage Dwelling Scum. You lot, on the other hand, can just buy another £40 million player and pay him £300,000 a week. You'll be fine.

If it really was that easy why haven't they already signed a striker at Aguero's level to play alongside him?
Fact is City have been looking and spending a lot of money to find a top class partner for Kompany at the back, so far without definite success. They similarly struggled to find a partner for Toure in central midfield, Ferndandinho seems a good solution, but hardly world class. They've struggled for years when Silva has been out or off form, but finding someone that can cover for him and/or be an upgrade on Nasri seems difficult.
They also spent a lot of money on strikers before ending up with Aguero.
Even the big clubs with tons of money are hit and miss in the transfer market. Replacing someone that's settle in the team, firing on all cylinders and truly world class like Aguero is never a given.
