If Aguero moves to City does anyone think he'll immediately play at the same level as he does in Spain? Because I think there's virtually zero chance of that happening. Look at Dzeko, he had two great seasons followed by one good season, he moves to the EPL and he was pretty dire in all honesty, and that's coming from the German league which is probably more similar in style than La Liga is. Say for arguments sake that Tevez goes and is replaced by Aguero, City will have a problem.
Aguero is a good player but he's not a 'rough' style of player like Tevez is. By himself City will be pretty toothless if they keep playing they way they do now.
They always look dire without Tevez.

Yup. I was just reading through some of Biz Kid's posts and it's as if he's assuming they've already signed Aguero who is going to come in and knock 30 goals a season in... If they lose Tevez they have every chance of dropping out of the top four, what with their 12 defensive midfielders and all.
Well he could do or he could not lol, it is a risk worth taking i think because of how good he has been in Spain and also has been decent internationally.
I think it is harsh to judge Dzeko on 6 months, he also scored 6 goals which wasn't that bad really considering Torres moved for double the price and is already adapted to PL and scored 1. I think he will do great next year and this pre-season so far has shown how much better he is getting.
I cant see Tevez leaving now, the Corinthians deal was the only one i think and it will come back in Jan. Mancini if it is not working may ask him back but maybe Aguero, Balotelli and Dzeko start the season perfectly and score a lot of goals.
Maybe not but we have other players who can do that, not quite up front but we have a lot of strong, physical players in the team.
Just like the FA Cup Semi-Final?
Without Tevez we dont look as good as we do with but then again thats because the team was based around him and everything went to him.
Next season Mancini will have the option to mix it around with up to speed Dzeko, a fully fit Balotelli and incoming Aguero. Something Mancini didn't really have last season.
Time will tell and without Tevez we might fall apart but we might also inherit 3 20 goal strikers in his absence. Time will tell!

You'll have a bigger problem than you think without Tevez. Even if he stays now he's going to be one miserable git.
I can't say anything for certain but Tevez is the one thing that makes Man City really 'work', and without him they just seem very poor most of the time.
I don't think Aguero is a direct replacement, a superb player, but not the same kind of player. You've agreed with me on that before.
As for Dzeko and Mario, neither of them seem very interesting really, other than the fact Mario is a nutter
I have already provided a solution to that earlierYou'll have a bigger problem than you think without Tevez. Even if he stays now he's going to be one miserable git.

He does i agree, his on pitch attitude no doubt helps the others but like has happened in the past teams can move on. The team is strong enough and full of international players that can no doubt cope if he leaves.
It will take a while to get Aguero, Balotelli and Dzeko full functioning and it might well be next year before we make a real title challenge.
Similar playing styles as in dropping deep, running with the ball, bringing others into the game etc but not the same strength/will on the pitch. He might change that though, who knows?
You dont have to be interesting to score goals
, they are both good players and relatively proven at a high level. I think they can do well at City and with the players around them then they will improve also.Yeh i know :/, for me Balotelli just does what most people wished they could do most of the time eg park anywhere and forget parking fines, demand models come and give their phone numbers in the middle of restaurants etc. I know somethings he does arent what you would do but a lot of stuff he does is
No but there is a very good chance, Madrid wont spend near 80m on two strikers when they already have 2 world class strikers and only play 1 actual striker most games. Mourinho i think will get Neymar and then probably Adebayor who he seems to really want.
Just like the FA Cup Semi-Final?
The Semi Final where you should have been 2-0 down in the first 5 minutes? The Semi Final where your keeper kept you in it? The Semi Final where you only had one real chance at goal following a mistake by one of our players and scored? That Semi Final? Yeah you really proved that City are still a formidable force without Tevez with that example didn't ya
How about the totally toothless performances at Liverpool and Chelsea without Tevez? I'd say that's a much better reflection of how City did last season when Tevez was missing.
That said Corinthians were the only team interested so now they're out of the equation Tevez probably will still be in the Premiership next season, oh joy another 6 months at least of his constant bitching a moaning

In both games we had to rely on 2 brand new strikers, hardly going to be an easy job. Both games we were awful, teams do have bad games you know?
Who knows, he might end up staying and creating an unstoppable partnership with Aguero and him agreeing to move at the end of the season it is very doubtful but not completely out of the question. If he does stay but doesn't play then we will be able to see how much of an effect it has, until then it is impossible to say that we won't do well without him.

I wouldn't keep going on about Aguero just yet if I were you, all that's been said is that City will enter into negotiations with Atletico, all that means is them picking up the phone and asking whether or not he's available - it's not a cert that you'll agree a fee with them let alone terms with the player

How were Chelsea with their best player missing, or Arsenal, or Utd, or Spurs, or, etc, etc, etc. How many toothless performances did Chelsea put in after Lampards injury/before he came back just after xmas.
As for City dropping straight out of the top 4 without Tevez, utterly daft, they have a very solid defence that will be bolstered again by a much better left back and Toure back from a ban soon enough, Toure/Kompany partnership was probably the best in the league and Toure is significantly better than Lescott. De Jong/Kompany were every single bit as important as Tevez to them hitting the top four. If they lose their best scorer, they'll buy another one.
Dzeko only started 8 games in the league, got 2 goals, 2 assists, not fantastic, not terrible, he didn't score much but didn't play much. You don't drop your best scorer so he never got a run, we'll see what he does next year. Balotelli started 12 games, got 6 goals, rarely played consecutive games, partially due to his seemingly injury/card proneness keeping him out of a bunch of games.
Well a good source is saying a fee has been agreed as has terms with the player it was just the matter of Tevez, so the deal was postponed a little but will now be revived and he will sign soon.
This same source also told of Hughes sacking, signing of Balotelli/Toure etc etc so as reliable as you can get really.

How is that relevant? Chelsea aren't selling Lampard are they. It's all very well saying every team misses their best players but not all of them have their best players actively wanting to move.
You're also extremely naive if you think it's as simple as just buying a replacement.

What source is that? I've not seen anything about them speaking to the player. All I've seen is that they have agreed to meet the buy-out clause. Anyone could come in and do that....
Throw enough **** and some is bound to stick, in relation to Aguero how many media reports were there at one stage that he was a cert to sign for Chelsea? As early as the end of last season he was then a cert to sign for Real.

I liked it when Balotelli really didnt fancy that cold second half in Kiev and feigned eye injury to waste about 5 minutes and make himself look pretty pathetic at the same time. They may.have claimed it was a grass allergy but.im not buying that.
