Álvaro Negredo Sánchez

[BigOscar]

Did Atletico not just get a fortune for Falcao, if we get him in as I have said since the list was leaked I think he could do a very good job for us, I hope he looks as strong here as he is for Sevilla. I also cant believe how many people are complaining without giving him a chance he is a top striker for a decent amount of money I personally don't think we were ripped of or did we ripped of Sevilla. They seem to be a reasonable team wonder if they would sell us Moreno?!lol

Which list is this

What list?

Also Atletico didn't get most of the money for Falcao as most of it went to 3rd parties that own him. They got very little of the actual transfer fee.

They still owed Porto an awful lot of it aswell as they never paid half the money they bought him for

 

[jonmcity]

looks like he nearly scored another two as well. I wouldn't want to work for you, nothing would be good enough lol.

lol

Average may have been harsh, I just meant, other than the goals, his overall play was a bit Dzeko-ish

Been watching his goal vids tho and he looks like he has a RVP-esque left peg

That will do very nicely thanks.

Yeah, seen that story earlier this evening, it pretty much confirms us signing him if you ask me.

Could be done this weekened as well no doubt ready for pre-season which is good for Negredo to get to know the team before the season starts.

 

[phx.mcfc]

Sounds like a sensible transfer. After watching some clips, he's quite a bit more athletic than I thought and hard to argue with his goal scoring record.

Plus he loves a chip it seems. Bring him in.

 

[conormcfc]

Someone started a thread on him a few weeks ago and most people were saying they wouldn't be interested.

Now we're properly linked with him everyone jumps on the bandwagon saying he's a brilliant signing. Much of the same thing happened when we were signing Sinclair last year.

It's like people can't have their own opinions in this place. If you don't like the prospect of signing a player then fucking stick to your guns, don't just put the blinders on.

Tbh I liked the idea of signing sinclair and I still kinda do even after last year but Mancini just made an absolute mess of handling him. He was never really given a proper chance and we'll never really know what happened with him tbh.

You know you're comparing a semi-regular member of likely the best era of a national team we've ever seen with Scott Sinclair, don't you.

 

[woodieMCFC]

Well, there is only one way to find out if he's any good. By watching him play...

 

[PNWBlue]

30+ goals per season in Spain for a mid level team and people are bitching??
I was hoping for higuain as plan B, but I'll take this guy. Left footed, can find the back of the net, looks strong enough to fight for headers.
As Pellers like him, why not, we have dzeko and aguero.
Sounds like the people at the top have a plan long term and short.
Negrado good be in a good spot and could be looking surpass Torres on the national team.

I'm not talking about how good the player is. Could be a thread about Messi for all it matters.

My gripe is with the people that flip on the blue tinted specs every time we get linked to a player that they've previously never been a fan of. The sort of people that would also slag a player off after 5 games if he hasn't settled straight away.

A lot of people already have. Football exists outside of the premier league surprisingly.

 

[PNWBlue]

Also looking at him I can see why people are underwhelmed. He doesn't have blazing speed, or a record for headers, or a tricky footballer.
What he is tho is a guy who gets it done in the trenches which tbf we don't have.

 

[MCFC BOB]

Let's just wait and see.

Those getting excited about this potential signing have every right to do so, but those being cautious are also not doing anything wrong.

Let's just wait and see.

The thing is, many people who may of been interested in this player (such as myself) only stumbled across the original topic, and I never thought we'd actually sign him or didn't see any concrete evidence to suggest this.

So we don't post in the topic. So you only see the many posters who dislike the guy whining about how shit he is.

I don't think Negredo is the best player in the world. I do however have confidence in what Txiki and MP are doing and they are far more experienced in Football than you or I.
So when I hear that we are signing him, I give the lad a chance and say: welcome to Manchester.

And will cheer him like any other player wearing our colours.

 

[Ducado]

anyone who watched the confederation cup and saw fred for Brazil should see the value of a player like negrado , fred is probably the least talented player in the brazil squad certainly not '' world class '' but he knows were the net is and was just as instrumental as neymar in brazil's win, my point is just because a player dosen't have the touch of a ibrahimovic or the skill of Inesita or the speed of a ronaldo he should not be written off as not being able to contribute to the team in a positive way.
negrado is by no means world class i would even agree that he's not the best striker available but he is a proven goal scorer who averages over 20 goals a season for sevilla, a spain international for around 20 mil and is going to probably be our third choice striker , think people are to caught up in striker's who are easy on the eye like van persie , benzema and rooney and are forgetting the value of old fashion fox in the box forward's like inzaghi , crespo , gomez and diego milito. adebayor, guojohnsen, pizarro, welbeck, matri and ba have all been second or third choice in trophy winning seasons, I'm no big fan of negrado but to suggest he's not good enough to be third choice just stinks of arrogance.

Only this

 

[BellLeeSumm]

Six goals in 14 matches for Spain aswell. Not bad duck.
How do people come to the conclusion that he's shit?.
Nobody has seen enough of him on here, and we really
need a Sevilla fan to come on here and tell us what he's
really like. That's if they like us of course, after nabbing
two of their best players.

 

[Kladze]

His pace is only 67 on FIFA. Underwhelmed. Would much rather have Welliton, Emenike or Esswein.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Well Negredo has certainly divided opinion on here.

He'll be a cracking signing in my opinion. He has always impressed me whenever I've seen Seville play.

It seems clear to me that Aguero is going to be our main man next season. If fit he plays, bit like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibra, and RVP for their respective club. I think foramtions and/or partners will be decided by the nature of the opposition. But Aguero will be a main stay.

Oh I know, and I'm looking forward to see Negredo in blue it's just some of the negativity towards him. All I'm saying is let's see how he plays in the prem and then judge ;-)

 

[Benarbia]

We've learnt our lesson and stuck to buying players where we have no competition for their signature
