Cheers Jumanji.

Scores with his left, scores with his right, scores with his head, scores penalties, scores overhead kicks, chips the keeper on a few occasions, does the obligatory kissing of the wrist, punches the corner flag and does a Peter Beagrie stlye back flip what's not to like? I'm sold where's he been all our lives. Three strikers with their names all ending in O. It's our very own three AmigO's

Yeah I know YouTube can supposedly make anyone look good but fuck me some of them finishes are sublime and he is pretty skilful as well. Maybe not lightning quick however

He did those things in la liga as well. Not the Dutch, Scottish, Belgian etc etc

He's not going to be first choice anyway, don't know why people will worry about that.

We all know what happened to the reported Fee we paid Navas...once the confirmation came out, the fee dropped about 6mil. Sevilla let the price out to make them look better in negotiations. Negredo will give us what we need...someone to put the ball in the net! Not flashy but strong, powerful and is talented enough to give us 20 goals a season in this team and for around 20mil I think its a good deal...

His letdown is his pace, isn't very quick.

However, his movement off the shoulder is very well timed and gives him the yard he needs. Tends to shoot first time rather than piss about with it.

He's a little bit like RVP in some ways.

He'll play up top with Aguero so in essence will be starting most games

An Atletico Madrid spoke person has said that its game over for them, they couldn't compete with Manchester Citys petrodollars, so I think its safe to welcome our new #9..

Nice to hear that you`re an ITK and Pelle has already told you the finer points of his team selection and formation.

I really don't see any negatives with this signing, should it happen.

I couldn't give a flying fuck if we aren't spending 300 million per signing, we are buying excellent players in positions that needed strengthening, along with cutting the wage bill etc.

Maybe Manuel doesn't require the Fifa players many of you crave, because just maybe he has enough faith in his ability, to actually mould a team that play together, rather than relying on the odd egotistical big cheese, to occasionally turn up a do something to win a game.

Keep up the good work TB, FS and MP.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Negredo signing but I'm getting a bit fed up with some of our fans being condescending to others and implying they have a juvenile grasp on football, simply for stating they believe our signings are below par.

You know who had 'Fifa' signings coming out of their arses?...the last 4 teams in the CL last year...and remember that's where the owners want to be, not making good value but not world-class signings like Liverpool/Arsenal.

I'd argue that only two of the last 4 were filled with fifa signings, and both of them were easily beaten in the semi final.

Both Dortmund and Bayern, as well as having very productive youth systems, had signed players who fitted into their style of play giving them depth and ability in every position. Bar a couple of the Bayern players, I don't think any of them had any FIFA type signings within their side.

Prof,

No one in their right mind ever thought that the manager would not have a say in who we buy.

I know that, I'm merely pointing out that when Mancini was sacked and everyone was falling over themselves to explain/justify the holistic approach it was said on here that the manager would have far less of a say in our future dealings. Same goes for whenever we're associated to a new signing and everyone starts raving about how fantastic these below grade A players really are. Now they may do brilliant and they may not but I just wish people wouldn't go so far in justifying how talented and what a bargain these players are. If they truly were that good they'd be household names. I don't really care myself these days one way or another I just go along and support the team and keep calling me Prof I like it ;-)

prof... who do you Think said get him, on narvas get him on fernandez.. and get him on isco ( ok we never but we tried) dont you Think pelli had a say... i would guess it was pelli who gave the order

Like it stan I like it (Prof) might even change my username.

I totally agree with you but what I was getting at was if we rewind to when Mancini was sacked and the watchword from City was 'holistic' everyone went into meltdown trying to justify the term and what it meant and from what I gleamed it seemed pretty conclusive on here that Txiki and Sorrano were going to be the ones buying in future. All references were made to their deeds at Barca etc and how Mancini wanted too much say in our future transfers and vision and he was toast. Of course I/you/others always expected the new manager to have their own input in things but all I'm saying was that lots of posters went out of their way to offer only the DOF's vision of City's future dealings in order to fit in with the explanation given as to why Mancini was dismissed.
