Replacing Augero is almost impossible, Mills supports new defenders

Despite the obvious need of a new striker, Pep Guardiola decided to bring more defenders.

Just like previous seasons,

Pep

decided to add more defenders instead of bringing a replacement for

Aguero

. The Argentinian striker has had many problems with injuries recently and it is obvious that

Manchester City

needs another striker.

Replacing

Aguero

is almost impossible as the experienced forward has won many titles with the Citizens. 

Pep Guardiola

 faced plenty of calls to bolster his attacking ranks before the latest deadline passed. He chose to ignore them, with City’s recruitment efforts focused on the opposite end of the field. They spent a high amount of money to sign

Ake

and

Ruben Dias

.

Mills

believes that Pep made the right decision by bringing more defenders. The ex City player told GentingBet: “Replacing

Aguero

has always been an issue for

Manchester City

, because how do you replace him? [Gabriel]

Jesus

is a very good player who works very hard but he’s not Aguero and if Aguero is missing for any length of time, you do worry a little bit about City.

“However, I think the fact that they've tried to address their defensive issues more than anything else with

Dias

coming in, that was where they had to sort themselves out because that's what cost them last season, especially in the 

Champions League

.

“I think they've got enough strength in depth and enough quality going forward. Then

Guardiola

will always find a way to work that out whether he plays a false nine or however he plays it, it’s just defensively where they need to tie it up.”
