A Star Is Born?

Last night on Sky Sports we might have seen a new star being born before our eyes. And I am not talking about Gary Neville!

Whilst Gary Neville’s debut as the new Andy Gray was entertaining and also the subject of a lot of banter on Twitter, it was the debut of another man which caught the eye.

Sergio Aguero could well be the man that gives Man City that little extra something to help them give Man Utd and Chelsea a serious challenge to the title this season. I mentioned in my post about the Golden boot winner for this season that I will have to wait and see who the main Man City striker is before I get my money involved. The initial plan was to wait until the transfer window was closed however I think its safe to say that Aguero will be a big part of Mancini’s plans for the new season. His price has gone from 17.5 into 6 which is probably a bit of an over reaction and you might be able to get a higher price if he doesn’t score in the next two matches. Just depends if you think its worth waiting for a higher price or if you think 6 is value!

Interesting Champions League match and a potential banana skin for Arsenal against Udinese. They are currently priced @ 1.65 after drifting from 1.50 on the weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the drift continue as my personal ratings suggest that Arsenal should be 1.80 for this match! As for the outcomes of this match, I am finding this one incredibly hard to predict. I simply don’t know what to make of Arsenal right now and Udinese have sold a few key players this summer. So this is certainly one to watch and enter in-play if an opportunity arises. If Arsenal’s price steams lower then I will have oppose them or take Udinese with a handicap.

A lot of matches on tonight in the Champions League and the Football League too. Football is well and truly back!
