# Manchester City: Fans howl over John Terry’s advice to Chelsea about not signing Aguero

**[According to a report from The Athletic, via Man City Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1196342273077841920), Chelsea legend John Terry advised the club to not sign Sergio Aguero, with supporters laughing at his reasons why.**

The former centre-back made over [700 appearances at Stamford Bridge](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2018/10/8/john-terry--the-statistics), winning countless honours and is regarded as one of the best English defenders of all time – but his advice regarding Aguero was poor to say the least.

Allegedly, before City [snapped up the Argentine in 2011](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14226198), Chelsea were debating making a move for the forward but were eventually put off by his salary demands and the transfer fee – while Terry advised against it due to being unimpressed with his movement.

As it turns out, the ex-Aston Villa man could’ve helped City in the best way possible – with Aguero going on to become the Sky Blues’ all-time top goal scorer whilst netting, arguably, the [most important goal in their entire 125-year history.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17973148)

Of course, upon hearing this, City supporters came out in droves to twist the knife and boast their capture of the former Atletico Madrid forward.

Here’s how they reacted on Twitter.

> Cheers Terry
