He fled civil war in Burundi after his father was killed when he was 10. That makes him a refugee; if I had a 'UKIP agenda' I wouldn't want the kid anywhere the club, would I?
We won last years title because of Kompany, Zabaleta, Toure, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko; only Fernandinho contributed positively of Txiki's signings. Demichelis did his best to sabotage our title challenge with a succession of balls-ups. Navas was average, Jovetic was a non-event, and Negredo scored a few when we were dicking everyone by 5/6 goals every game.
Last season Danny Welbeck scored the same number of league goals (9) as Negredo, despite playing primarily wide left for a poor rags team. Welbeck played 400 fewer minutes than Negredo; that's roughly 4 and a half less games. Your beloved beast was outdone by a donkey.
Negredo has 5 league goals for a good Valencia side this season and they're looking for every loophole to avoid buying him for the pre-agreed price.
Kelechi has done absolutely nothing to be mentioned in the same breath as Berahino; you're comparing a proven Premier League goalscorer to a novice.
Berahino has scored 5 more this season than Negredo did last season, and that's without having Toure, Nasri, Silva and Aguero next to him. When you also factor in Alvaro was in his prime here while Berahino is just a kid, there is no comparison to be had.
Moving onto Dzeko; his goal tallies paper over the fact that he requires 5 chances to score and his all round play is woeful. You accuse Berahino of being nothing more than a finisher, yet Dzeko's pass completion this year and last averages out at around 75%, while Berahino's is roughly 84% in what isn't exactly a possession team. Aguero's is only about 85% in that period. Negredo's in his season with us? 76%.
I'm accused of being overly-pro British, but the issue is actually people like yourself refusing to acknowledge that England is producing some of the best young talent in Europe; I know it's fashionable to wheel out the misinformed 'overpriced/not good enough' yawn fest when we are linked to English players, but for a club that spent £34-40m on Mangala and is willing to spend £70m on Pogba, then £15-20m for Berahino would be fantastic business.
So therefore, a bidding war for Berahino will ensue, & we won't get him for that. Unless you are perhaps the only person aware that he is one of the best talents in Europe ?
You have an agenda against the Spanish guys at City & everything you post is heavily tainted by it. Belittling the contribution of Negredo etc to our successful season last year is frankly fucking ludicrous, & the idea that Berahino would have contributed more to City than Negredo & Dzeko is also utterly fucking ridiculous. He is a kid, playing in a team against whom everyone is going forward trying to beat, leaving huge fucking holes in behind not in title battles against a back 10.
Their supporters' player of the year is Jolean Lescott playing at fucking left back.
I have no idea if Berahino will turn out a top player, he has not had enough time to show it but I know Iheanacho would be very quickly challenging him if he was English, probably next season & that Thierry Ambrose looks likely to be better than him as well. If we sign him, it will purely he down to his natonality, & not down to him being a better prospect than those we already have.
It would be better to sign homegrown players in positions we are actually short.
I think England will produce some top players, but most of them aren't yet playing in the Premier League & several may be at City.
Negredo was the best striker in the country for the first half of last season. Something happened to tuin his time here & he left. He got 20 goals led the line fantastically & we won a fucking double.
Your agenda is stupid.
