Forlan: Blues better for Aguero

Diego Forlan believes his former Atletico Madrid team-mate Sergio Aguero should have joined Chelsea, not Manchester City.[LNB] Argentina ace Aguero left the Vicente Calderon for Eastlands this week in a £38million deal.[LNB]Forlan wishes the 23-year-old well but believes he would have been better off holding out for a move to Andre Villas Boas' Blues instead.[LNB]"It was no real surprise to see him leave," Forlan told The People, "but I thought it would have been to a different club.[LNB]"Chelsea's game and squad are more suited to his style.[LNB]"And of course I am a Manchester United fan, so his decision to move to City is also painful for me."[LNB]Forlan also offers a note of caution for Aguero, having struggled to make an impact himself at United before hitting form in Spain with Villarreal and then Atletico.[LNB]The Uruguay ace added: "I know City are now one of the big clubs in England, so I wish Sergio luck.[LNB]"But I know from my own time in England that the Premier League is not like La Liga.[LNB]"The key for him will be how he adapts to the style of the game and also the country.[LNB]"He can be a success because he is a star... he can be a king at any club.[LNB]"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.[LNB]"Personally, it is bad news to me because I will now miss a big companion in attack at Atletico.[LNB]"He is not the tallest, but that is not a problem, and neither is the hardness of the English defenders.[LNB]"I do not know if (Carlos) Tevez will stay at City, but a Tevez-Aguero pairing could be sensational for City. For La Liga, this is all bad news, but for the Premier League, it's a success to have such a player."
