Bayern Munich could be replacing Chelsea bound Michael Ballack with Indipendiente's Argentinian wonder kid Sergio Aguero. The rumour is they will bid around 18 million euros for the latest "new Mardaona/Ortega/Aimar/D'Alessandro/Messi". Bayern may even make their move before the World Cup, as a strong performance this summer could add an extra million or ten to that price tag.

My feeling is that a move to Bayern might be a bad idea for the 17 year old Aguero. There's no doubting his talent but surely a move to Spain, where he at least speaks the language would be a smarter first step into Europe than the pressure of replacing Ballack in Germany.
