Álvaro Negredo Sánchez

[Kippax.]

I have started to read up about this player, Im not convinced by him at all. Real Madrid has a buy back clause in his contract and they havent bothered, also looking at what we have I doubt he will improve us as thats how I would look at it, he doesnt have to be a "world class" or a "big name" for me, just an improvement which in my opinion he isnt.

his buy back clause to real madrid was for a maximum 2 years and that was from the start of the 2009-20010 season it ended 2 years ago!

did anybody hear of Michu before he came to the premiership and look what impact he had with swansea.

the reality is we dont know what impact such a player will bring to our squad untill he is here and most of us are second guessing how he will do.

i trust the guys at the top doing what they are doing we have the best in the business at what they do and bringing in players like Negredo wont be just to fill a space in the squad.

To be fair mate, you hold a valid point and i will take on board your comments, I hope I am wrong with my comments, but I fear that this guy looking at his current record he seem to need time to settle in to a club before we start to see the results, which by that time he will be close to 30.

Like I said I hope I am wrong.

As to you jauganaut you idiot go hide under a rock as your comments where uncalled for and dont deserve a answer.

Its one of those scenarios, we wont truly know until he's playing for us.

im gonna use goater as an example.

Guy is a legend in city circles because he scored goals for fun, albeit at a lower level but did acore in prem. In his book he speaks of how he won the fans over with work ethic and the goals came.

Negredo may not be the most skillful forward, but if he works hard and bags 25/30 a year he will be hailed as a great buy.

The question I keep asking myself is what were my expectations of Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli when we first signed them, to what I think of them now that I have seen them and seen what they could do and only in respect of what they did on the field.

My answers

Dzeko - not lived up to expectation

Balotelli - Much potential unfulfilled

Tevez - while he was here just like a tin of Ronseal did what it said on the tin, however I can't forget his 6 month walkabout.

So in relation to Negredo I am not over excited so if he performs well I can relax and be pleasantly surprised for a change. Just an opinion.

Lets not forget guidetti.. He could turn out to be the best striker we've got

Negredo is class, a few will be pleasantly surprised.

Not a bloody chance with Aguero, Negredo and even the inconstant Dzeko puts in high quality when performing. Guidetti hasn't even tackled a Premiership defence yet and will be lucky to get anything more than Carling Cup IMO.

Are we going to sign him or not? This transfer speculation is dragging on for way too long and there is only 2 days left
Get it done Txiki.!!

Bit early to say but I think I'll be printing this statement out and posting it to you so you can eat it!
You watch this boy bag 20+ this season.
