It's quite annoying that foreigners refer to the rags as Manchester and us as just ' the City'. Hope this starts to change.

"Sevilla have valued the player at a certain amount and that will vary depending on if it's a fixed sum or with variables. Either they pay what we ask, or the player stays with Sevilla for another three years.
"The chance that he goes right now is one per cent. In the last 15 days I have lowered the price by €0, I'm very generous.
"The substitute for Negredo is Negredo. For me the best thing is that he renews his deal for another two years and raises his clause."

He's a good player, and would improve the side in a key area, but he's not a brilliant player - we shouldn't be bending over backwards and over-paying just to get him in. Particularly in light of the fact that his sell on value won't exactly be great as he's just about to turn 28.
We should stick to our valuation, and pursue other options rather than get drawn into a saga over a player who's really not worth it.

It looks like it is coming down to valuation and Sevilla will not budge on that supposed €25m valuation.
I think Txiki is keeping his options open.

That's all we will be doing I suspect. Let's be honest, if Dzeko is staying, for a one striker system Aguero, Dzeko and Guidetti, with Jovetic more than able to play second striker, we're not exactly crying out for another centre forward. Especially seen as Dzeko rarely gets seriously injured.

I am still not convinced that we didn't screw up on Isco by fannying around.
How many better options do we have for a centre forward? We wouldn't pay the money for Cavani. We aren't going to pay the money for Ibra.
We need two strikers and an attacking midfielder IMO but I can already see us running out of time to sign them.

When I first found this site, you used to be calm, sensible & seemed to have a decent handle on things.
