Very good. The old "when found out try to bluff your way out of of it" routine. You have no idea do you?
I don't know a lot about him either which is why I don't pretend to.
ahaha lol. I'm not really pretending to know or not know him. I've watched a good numbers of Sevilla games last year and throughout the years and I actually watched Negredo play when he was still at Real Madrid.
My position is that while Negredo is a very good striker and a better option than Osvaldo and co, as far as I'm concerned now and from what I know of him he is a downgrade from Cavani and Tevez, hasn't managed to break into a weak Spanish strike force, has never had a 30+ goal scoring season apart from this one and is 28.
Now I don't watch every single Sevilla game but I do watch a good number and Negredo in my opinion is a slightly faster Dzeko with a bit more first touch and some extra weight. He is leftie which is good but as I keep on saying, a winning team needs a person who can score 30-40+ goals a season e.g Ronaldo, Messi, Van Persie, Ibra etc and we absolutely need that so if we're counting on Negredo to be that, I'm skeptical. < unquote >
Ok, will you now please name a few players that score 30-40+ goals other than the ones you mention i.e. you prefer to Negredo?
- Cavani isn't coming and way too expensive.
- Lewandowski is heading to Bayern next summer and not interested going anywhere else (and even if he does, he will try and go to Bayern next summer).
Or ... maybe Txiki and Pellegrini who both advocate a more wide attacking style of play, knows Negredo better from the many years they spent in Spain?
