Poll: Should Chelsea spend £40m on Aguero?

By: Jack | November 20th, 2009
   

Earlier in the week, both the Guardian and Independent — reputable members of the British media in my view — claimed Chelsea were ready to throw around £40 million at Atletico Madrid for striker Sergio Aguero in the January transfer window.

Move forward a couple of days. Now, we’re reading — via the Sun — that Inter Milan are looking to hijack the move. Or, perhaps you prefer the stories reporting that Roman Abramovich is souring on the idea of blowing a British record fee on the 21-year-old Argentinian.

So, I ask: What are you feelings on the man who is rearing Diego Maradona’s grandchild? Should Chelsea splash the cash on Kun Aguero? Let me know.

  • I do agree with you Ryan McManus. The prices are just gone crazy lately if you ask me.
    Anyway,Chelsea buying Aguero would be a solid invesment I think. It's also been reported that the choice is between Aguero and Ribery. Not sure what Chelsea needs the most, but both players are big signings.

    Tis a sad day to know that a cup-tied 21 year-old phenom is worth 40m. I blame it on Real Madrid buying Benzema.

  • Uh, the ban has been delayed until our appeal is heard by CAS, meaning we can spend freely in January. And yes, a cup-tied 21-yr-old phenom is worth 40m, especially with the feeding frenzy to come in the summer.

  • Also, Times Online says that Atletico want £50m for him. A guess, obviously, but is he really worth that much? Or even £40m? Especially since he's cup-tied for CL this year?

  • So everybody's just assuming that FIFA was joking around with the transfer ban?

  • I agree, Rob. I think the squad is in need of an overhaul at the end of this term, regardless. Aguero would fit right in with the idea of building a new, young nucleus to soften the transition. Then again, Carlo is the messiah of aging squads.

  • Rob

    I think you should. Not only do you look a little short if injuries come up up front, but he's young and a hell of a talent.
