Alvaro Negredo - How do you remember him?

[Super Joey Hart]

Bit of a random one this but seen it’s his birthday today so got me thinking about his brief time with us. I just remember being in awe of him playing every minute he was on the pitch he took me by total surprise with just how good he actually was.

Can’t believe the goal against Tottenham at home to make it 5-0 isn’t spoken about more as being one of the greatest goals ever in the premier league.

How do you remember him? And how do you think he’d fair as the striker in our current set up as I think he’d be unplayable.

The mouth watering assist against Fulham

The mouth watering assist against Fulham

The outside of the foot that travelled about 60 yards pin point behind the full defence was frightening!

Beast.

Goal against Spurs was wowzers.

One of the few examples of getting a player during their brief unexpectedly high peak. There’s been many players who have had one-off wonder seasons in the league, particularly strikers, the likes of Michu, zaki, Bony, mido and many others but it’s rarely with us, I think stevie Ireland was the last one before him.

Couldn’t have bought and sold him at a better time.

West Ham in the Cup. What a performance

My Mrs that season was like ‘he’s very handsome’, I was like ‘hands off! - I saw him first’

For a season, he was unplayable and the partnership formed with Aguero was just a joy to watch. Never seemed to recover from that shoulder injury.
The dummy for Aguero v West Ham was also a thing of beauty.

An awesome player until the shoulder injury / extra marital activity / loss of form (delete as appropriate) just after the New Year.

Was he up to no good with someone elses wife?

west ham at home in the cup. unplayable

Cracking player till the shoulder injury and or off the field issues took their toll.

For 6 months he was a better player than Aguero and I thought we'd hit the jackpot. Got that shoulder injury (annoyingly im sure we were about 8-1 up on aggregate at the time) and came back 2% of the player and never recovered. Why, I don't know, but it was a travesty.

I recall him scoring against the dippers on Boxing Day. An enigma in blue.

 

[Blue Feather]

Awesome for a few months, he and Aguero looked great together. Never the same after his shoulder injury which was caused by chasing something when there was no need. Great commitment though and a hero of the 2013-14 season

 

[mcfc_ms]

He was brilliant, and got the best out of Sergio too. Him and Sergio as a partnership worked perfectly

Then he got the shoulder injury and never seemed to recover

Fondly.

A uesful player but it was a disappointing end to his City career
