'I want a central midfielder and a winger' - Manchester City's Roberto Mancini reveals the summer spending is not finished
Roberto Mancini has revealed he intends to sign two more players for Manchester City before the close of the transfer window, after completing the record signing of Sergio Aguero for €43 million.
The Argentine international confirmed his arrival from Atletico Madrid on Friday and was presented as a City player ahead of the Dublin Super Cup, where he won't be taking part.
But Mancini admitted his new striker could play some part in the Charity Shield against Manchester United next Sunday, and added that his spending isn't done there.
"Sergio is another striker, he is a young striker, I think that we need a player like him," he told reporters in Dublin.
"But if we want to compete with all the other top teams - Champions League or Premier League - we need other players, but the club are working in this way."
Asked which positions he needs to strengthen, Mancini added: "The middle and like a winger.
"One midfielder, one winger."
When asked what sort of impact Aguero will make, Mancini added he hoped the Argentinean striker would end up as prolific in front of goal as Brazilian hero Romario, who scored over 1,000 goals.
"And I hope that he can score all the goals that Romario scored!"
