Guys..hope you dont mind me posting a youtube link of Negredo but feel it shows that he's got better first touch andmovement skills than some give him credit for..i know he might not be the big name signing we had hope but still think he'd be a good signing...enjoy!

He's not a game changer, he will bring *uck all to the club, I really don't think we will sign him. Our defense was horrendous at times, we got lucky so many times it was unreal last season. That said we need more goals from midfield and defense. Everton away was a prime example, Zabs twice and James, were free with the ball insider the 10 yard box, but passed instead of lashing the ball low and hard, which had been our problem all season. if we had conceded 8 less goals we would have won the league. We should be looking at our full backs and asking if Zabs and Clichy are good enough and if the supporting fullbacks can
actually play in a 4-3-3 system and can take some of the pressure of them. I would love to see Thiago Silva marshaling our defense, I don't' want to go into another season with Vinnie as our perceived stand out center half, he isn't a veteran in the role and once again, I feel we need every squad member to have a purpose, We need 2 star wing backs and 2 quality up and comers, 4 center half's in the same vain and 10 midfield players (4 of whom can play wing, or wing back to a good to great standard0, 3 center forwards. " key players are Zab and JM, they are top rate squad players who can cover midfield and defensive roles
Its the likes of Garcia, Sinclair, Maicon and possibly GB that will either be a luxury , or deemed incapable of playing in the new system. Getting Robben,Reus, or Di Maria, would really make a difference. Thiago, would simply be great business and a quality signing. Luke Shaw and Sam Byram, would both be excellent buys. If we could by some miracle get Varana (I think from RM), then our futre would be looking sweet, but is it Pepe presence that has brought him along?
Negredo is not what we want, or need, if we have one player with 20 epl goals and 6 with 10 and 20 from the rest then we will be champions and likely have also done the double and possibly the CL semi's, but Norwich showed how truly *hit we can still be.
