Alvaro Negredo - How do you remember him?

[Super Joey Hart]

Bit of a random one this but seen it’s his birthday today so got me thinking about his brief time with us. I just remember being in awe of him playing every minute he was on the pitch he took me by total surprise with just how good he actually was.

Can’t believe the goal against Tottenham at home to make it 5-0 isn’t spoken about more as being one of the greatest goals ever in the premier league.

How do you remember him? And how do you think he’d fair as the striker in our current set up as I think he’d be unplayable.

The mouth watering assist against Fulham

The outside of the foot that travelled about 60 yards pin point behind the full defence was frightening!

Beast.

Goal against Spurs was wowzers.

One of the few examples of getting a player during their brief unexpectedly high peak. There’s been many players who have had one-off wonder seasons in the league, particularly strikers, the likes of Michu, zaki, Bony, mido and many others but it’s rarely with us, I think stevie Ireland was the last one before him.

Couldn’t have bought and sold him at a better time.

West Ham in the Cup. What a performance

My Mrs that season was like ‘he’s very handsome’, I was like ‘hands off! - I saw him first’

For a season, he was unplayable and the partnership formed with Aguero was just a joy to watch. Never seemed to recover from that shoulder injury.
The dummy for Aguero v West Ham was also a thing of beauty.

An awesome player until the shoulder injury / extra marital activity / loss of form (delete as appropriate) just after the New Year.
