I think it's unfair for some posters to be saying he'll be the best striker we ever have etc, as it places too much expectations on him.
I've watched him play many times and he is a good striker but he isn't excellent like Aguero etc.
Many of his goals come from the team breaking and wingers then crossing into the box, so I feel he will fit perfectly with Navas. He surges into the box hoping a winger or midfielder finds him with a through ball or cross.
He won't however play like Aguero who can score from nothing i.e. his goal against the rags at the swamp.
From what I`ve seen of him he does create his own chances,so I`m happy with that.
His downside is that he can and does miss alot of chances.

Wow. Txiki and Ferran aren't exactly covering themselves in glory with the prices they negotiate for transfers? £30mil for Fernandinho, now £26mil for Negredo and potentially 30mil Euro's for Jovetic.
Back when we were just splashing the cash and weren't even in the CL we signed two ready made world class players in Silva and Toure for £24mil a piece and one of the worlds hottest young strikers in Balotelli for just £19mil.
I now await to be told that it isn't my money and I shouldn't be bothered.

TBF, i believe Ferno is worth 30 million, Negredo for 25 is mental though. Navas for 14.5 damn good business. Jovetic in this climate seems about fair. Cavani is not twice the player Jovetic is.brian the blue said:LoveCity said:Marca saying the transfer has been closed at around £26million.
