Grading the past Golden Boys

2006 Cesc Fabregas

A product of the famed La Masia academy, Fabregas was transferred to Arsenal aged just 16 and established himself in the Arsenal lineup for the next seven years, endearing himself to Gunners faithful around the world due to his brilliance with passes.

He returned home to Barcelona but his return did not yield the union sought by both parties and he returned to the Premier League, this time with London giants Chelsea.

Fabregas has won almost all there is to win at club level as well as the international front with Spain and even though he has struggled for playing time of late, Fabregas would surely go down as one of the greatest midfielders to ply his trade in the EPL.

Verdict - Legendary career

2007 Sergio Aguero

Aguero is City's all-time record goalscorer

Bursting onto the scene as captain of the Argentine team immediately succeeding Lionel Messi's, 'Kun' captained Argentina to the WYC in 2007 and earned a transfer to Atletico Madrid where he became one of the hottest young prospects.

He arrived Manchester City in 2011 and etched his name into City and EPL folklore as he won the 2012 EPL title with the last kick of the season coming off his leg.

Aguero has gone on to establish himself as one of the best strikers in the world and is already City's all-time record goalscorer and arguably the greatest player in the club's history.

Verdict - Legend-in-waiting
