But look at it this way, since the start of 11-12 season, Carlos Tevez scored 21 goals in all competitions for City.
In the year and a half from the start of 11-12 to Balotellis transfer to Milan, Mario scored 20 goals in a city shirt.
In that time, Negredo has scored 45 in all competitions.
On goal scoring alone he's more than adequate to be the striker competing for second choice with Dzeko, because ultimately that's what we need.While Sergio Aguero remains at this football club, he is always going to be the main man,when fit, up top because he's that special a player.
Completely agree and good post.
A post that falls into the trap of looking at our first choice starting eleven and believing that all we need is back-up players who can 'do a job'.
Think it's fair to say Alvaro Negredo has done more than a job in his time at Sevilla. A goal every other game . Think people should get used to the fact that Cavani isn't coming here , because it ain't happening.
