Following Gael Clichy and Stefan Savic into the club, Sergio Aguero's arrival at City was completed on 28 July 2011 as the club’s third signing of the summer.
The Argentine striker’s professional career started in July 2003 when, aged just 15 years and 13 days, he made his debut for Independiente, becoming the youngest debutant in the Argentine Premier League - a record previously held by the man who became his his father-in-law, none other than Diego Maradona.
Aguero won the Under-20 World Cup with Argentina in 2005, before combining withFernando Torres at Atletico Madrid the following year.
His excellent club form was rewarded with a first senior cap in September 2006 and a year later, Aguero starred as the outstanding player of the 2007 Under-20 World Cup. Winner of both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, ‘El Kun’ scored six goals in seven games to clinch successive Under-20 World titles.
Aguero continued to thrive at Atletico and following the departure of Torres to Liverpool, was partnered with Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan ahead of the 2007/08 campaign.
The duo led Atletico to Champions League qualification for the first time in a decade and Aguero was named La Liga’s best foreign player in 2008 – the only time in four years that Lionel Messi was not awarded the honour – before landing an Olympic gold medal with Argentina that summer.
The 2009/10 season proved even more fruitful for Aguero as Atletico won the Europa League – from which UEFA Super Cup success followed - and were only narrowly beaten in the Copa del Rey final.
Appearances at the 2010 World Cup and 2011 Copa America established Aguero as a permanent fixture in the national side and his arrival at the Etihad Stadium broke the club’s transfer record.
Stefan Savic has become City’s second signing in three days after agreeing a four-year deal.
The 20-year-old Montenegro defender joins the Blues from Serbian side Partizan Belgrade and is rated as one of the brightest prospects in European football.
Savic was granted a work permit by the Home Office thanks to his prominence in the Montenegro national team who are currently England’s main opposition for a place in the Euro 2012 finals next summer.
Able to play in the centre or right of defence, Savic has represented his country at all levels and has won six caps for the senior side to date.
He began his career with BSK Borca, playing 27 times for them between 2009 and 2010 and appeared to be on the verge of joining Arsenal 2010 after having a 10-day trial with the Gunners.
With the North London side failing to commit to a deal, Partizan Belgrade moved in for the player who agreed a four-year contract with the then teenager. A month later he made his senior international debut against Northern Ireland and played his part in holding England to a 0-0 draw at Wembley last October.
“I was up against Shaun when he came on as a substitute and he was very tricky!” smiled Savic.
“I never imagined that I’d be team-mates with all those City players within a year and I’m so happy to be at this club.
“I can’t wait to play alongside them and all the other fantastic players we have here. It is a dream come true and I’m especially looking forward to meeting Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov because they both speak my language and come from the Balkans, too.
“Aleks has already phoned me to welcome to City which makes me feel at home already.
“I watch the Premier League all the time and I know it’s the place to be so I am just looking forward to helping this club achieve great things. We have an incredible stadium and I’ve seen how passionate the City fans are many times on TV.
“Montenegro play England later this year so I’m expecting to have some great banter with the England lads. I’m just really happy to be a City player.”
The last remaining member of the Arsenal ‘Invincibles' squad that went through the 2003-04 Premier League season unbeaten in all 38 matches, he arrived with a justified reputation as one of the finest left-backs in Europe.
The Frenchman had played only 15 senior games for Cannes before he was spotted byArsène Wenger's scouting network in 2003 and signed for the Gunners, making his debut on the same night as Cesc Fabregas in a League Cup tie with Rotherham.
He understudied England's Ashley Cole for a couple of seasons, and became the youngest player to win a Premier League medal in 2004 at 18 years and 10 months. After Cole left for Chelsea in 2006 he emerged as one of the mainstays of Wenger's side despite being hampered with injuries.
His pace and speed of thought, allied to an ability to get up and down the pitch in the stamina-sapping environs of the Premier League, made him one of Arsenal's most consistent defenders, while his willingness to join the attack brought a rare goal against Stoke in November, 2008. His second and only other Arsenal strike was against Leyton Orient in March, 2011.
That Clichy is alive to play top-flight football at all is a miracle, the description of the surgeon after his heart stopped for 15 seconds during a seven-hour operation as a 15-year-old.
Joe Hart has come a long way in a short space of time. From Shrewsbury Town’s reserve goalkeeper to England’s established No.1, Hart’s rise to the top has been nothing short of superb.
Even at the age of 15, Hart had already begun to make an impression at Shrewsbury. He suffered relegation from the Football League with his boyhood club in 2003 but made his senior debut in a Conference game against Gravesend & Northfleet a year later.
Having finally established himself as Town’s first choice during the 2005/06 campaign, the young stopper’s success was immediate. He appeared for England’s Under-19s in October 2005 and was named League Two goalkeeper of the year at the end of the same season.
Hart’s performances soon caught the eye of a host of Premier League clubs before City eventually won the chase for his signature in May 2006. And with Andreas Isaksson and Nicky Weaver injured, Hart made his first appearance for the club sooner than expected against Sheffield United in October 2006.
In a bid to gain some much needed first-team experience, Hart spent the early part of 2007 out on loan. Spells at Tranmere Rovers and Blackpool proved crucial to the youngster’s development, and he was named as part of England’s Under-21 squad for the 2007 European Championships.
Sven Goran Eriksson gave Hart his chance as City’s first-choice goalkeeper in 2007/08, and he impressed enough to win his first international cap at the end of the season in a friendly with Trinidad and Tobago.
Hart fell victim to City’s new-found wealth as Shay Given arrived to take No.1 spot. Despite this, his excellent performances in the 2009 Under-21 European Championships helped England reach the final – only for him to be suspended and England beaten.
With Given hanging on to the City jersey, Hart was loaned out to Birmingham in what proved to be a massively successful season for him. Not only did he play a vital role in Birmingham’s bid for survival and win the supporters’ Player of the Season award, he was also nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award and named Premier League Goalkeeper of the Season.
Emphasising just how far the player had come in his short career, England managerFabio Capello also rewarded the young stopper with a place in his squad for the 2010 World Cup.
Upon returning to City, Hart’s form for Birmingham had left Roberto Mancini with a selection dilemma. Despite Given’s own impressive club form, Mancini instead chose to make Hart City’s new No.1.
The future certainly looks bright for the young stopper. His goalkeeping heroics have been crucial to City’s fantastic defensive record this season and if his progress continues, he is set to represent club and country at the top level for a long time to come.

21. David Silva
Position
Midfielder
Height (ft)
171 cm
Date of birth
8 January 1986
Place of birth
Arguineguin, Spain
International caps / goals
44 / 10
David Silva must have felt at home straight away at the City of Manchester Stadium, having conjured the winning goal on his previous visit.
The Spanish international has happy memories of his new home ground after scoring for Champions League outfit Valencia in a pre-season opener against City in 2007.
He was joint top scorer with four goals in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships, helping Spain to reach the quarter-finals, and made his senior debut in November, 2006.
David scored his first goals in a 3-2 win over Greece in 2007 and played a key role in Spain's 2008 European Championship success, including a semi-final goal against Russia.
He came to prominence when Valencia loaned him to top-flight side Celta Vigo for the 2005-06 season and he hit four goals in 31 games to help clinch a UEFA Cup spot.
David's exploits earned him a seven-year contract and he made more than 140 appearances for Valencia, scoring 20 goals, before deciding to join City's Blue Revolution. He quickly adjusted to the demands of English football, with a brilliant individual goal at Bloomfield Road helping him win City's player of the month award for October. More influential performances saw him scoop the same prize in the following month.
Edin Dzeko has joined City after completing his transfer from Wolfsburg.
He has signed a four and a half year deal and will wear the number 10 shirt.
The prolific 24-year-old striker can’t wait for the new marriage to start after a lengthy engagement.
He is likely to make his home debut against Wolves at CoMs on Saturday week (tickets still available).
“It has been a long time that I have been linked with the club going back to last summer but Wolfsburg did not want to sell me until today,” he smiled after completing a medical.
“There was too much speculation in the papers but my head is always clear. It is important that is the case because if you think too much about what might be it is a distraction and it can affect your game. I was always attracted most to joining City.
...Edin Dzeko
“They have been playing well this season. I have watched them a lot on television. Now the speculation is over and I just want to do my best.”
Bosnian star Dzeko, who has most recently been on a winter break with former club Wolfsburg, has no doubt why he joined the Blues.
“Everybody speaks about City having lots of money but it is not about that. It is about ambition and I have spoken to coach Mancini and he told me ‘this is the best club for you’,” he explained in his excellent English.
“City are playing for first place in the Premier League and that is what I want. I am excited to play alongside players such as Tevez and Toure who I have only seen on the television and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Boateng and Kompany.
“They will help me achieve my goal to be better in the future. I want to show the fans why the club paid the money for me. Everyone expects goals and I want to score them but most of all I want to contribute to a successful team.
“I don’t want to talk about my skill - that is for other people to judge. However, I know my quality and when I am fit I am not afraid of a challenge.
“I don’t know a lot about Manchester because I have only been once but I am looking forward to seeing the city and meeting the fans and getting to know everyone at the club.”
The hitman clearly offers Mancini a different option as a target man par excellence, cannot wait to get started:
...Edin Dzeko
He has scored 10 goals in 17 League games this season for the Bundesliga champions and was a target for some of Europe's top clubs before opting to move to the City of Manchester Stadium.
His signing, Mancini's ninth since the former Inter boss took charge of the team just over a year ago, will be seen as a statement of intent with title-chasing City lying second in the table.
Sarajevo-born Dzeko began his career at his local side FK Zeljeznicar and turned few heads as a midfielder. But when he moved to Czech club Teplice, he finished as top scorer for 2006-07 with 13 goals from 30 appearances.
Dzeko moved to Wolfsburg in the summer of 2007 for €4million, and made an immediate impact with five goals in 11 games, eventually helping the club to fifth place and a UEFA Cup spot.
His second season was exceptional. Dzeko formed a potent partnership with Brazilian Grafite, scoring 26 out of the duo's record-breaking 54 goals as Wolfsburg won their first league title.
A further 10 goals in domestic and European cup competitions clinched the 2008-09 German Footballer of the Year award. Dzeko was also nominated for the 2009 Ballon d'Or, won by Lionel Messi.
The striker, who was made a UNICEF ambassador in November 2009, became the highest League scorer in Wolfsburg's history with 66 goals in 111 Bundesliga matches. He scored 84 times for the club in all competitions.
New teammate Jerome Boateng is clearly a fan.
“Dzeko has everything,” he praised. “He can shoot right left and can head the ball too. He is a very strong striker. He is a quality player. Against Hamburg he always played well and seemed to score, it was always a big challenge.
“He can hold the ball well and he knows how to move with his body. He has a good eye for the goal."
