People do realise that last summer Mancini was in charge of identifying targets and this summer Txiki and Pellegrini are in charge. To try and compare Garcia with Negredo is just laughable on pretty much of every level. Negredo might not be the rock star signing people wanted, but nobody can dispute that he's a prolific goal scorer. Be interested to know how many strikers in Europe have a better record than him over the last couple of years. I suspect not many.
Anyway why not just wait and see how he turns out. I mean we already have Kun and Dzeko at the club, so even if Negredo isn't the Cavani like dream signing people wanted, if he gives us a goal return of 20 + he'll have done better than Tevez and Balotelli combined in the last season.
