Diego Forlan, the 32-year-old Atletico Madrid striker, revealed he felt his former team-mate Sergio Aguero had made the wrong decision in choosing Manchester City over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international transferred to City for an estimated
fee of £38 million, snubbing English Premier League giants Chelsea in the process.
While City are undoubtedly providing him with better wages, Forlan feels the striker would have been better off with the Blues. Having played at Atletico Madrid with Aguero for four years, Forlan is well acquainted with the young striker’s playing style
and said he was certain the Argentine forward would have done much better at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have known to be keeping an eye on the Argentinean striker for a while now and came very close to landing him, but at the last moment lost him to big-spending Manchester City. The Uruguayan forward revealed he was not surprised by his former team-mates
decision, but had hoped he would have chosen the London side.
Forlan said while speaking to reporters:
“It was no real surprise to see him leave, but I thought it would have been to a different club.
Chelsea's game and squad are more suited to his style.”

City was his ability to adjust to the English game, the rest was easy.

provide 37 assists, an impressive figure for a striker as young as him.

He can be a success because he is a star... he can be a king at any club.
The best asset of Aguero is the number of goals he scores, and when he scores them. He is a killer and could also destroy many defenders with his dribbles.”

struck up one of the most successful striking partnerships in recent times.
Forlan said:
“Personally, it is bad news to me because I will now miss a big companion in attack at Atletico.”
