Saido Berahino

[Neville Kneville]

He's 21; if Yaya Toure had found his level at 21 he'd still be in some obscure league somewhere.

Pogba is 22 and massively inconsistent in a poor league, yet everyone is content for us to blow most of our budget in him.

Negredo a failure.

20 fucking goals in a season where we won a double, as well as his assists & leading the line & him & Navas giving us a completely different dimension to the predictable stuff we finished the previous season, & indeed have gone back to largely this season now Negredo has gone. As opposed to Berahino, who spent most of the game at our place sat on his fucking arse, played like he couldn't give a fuck & gave our cbs the easiest 90 mins they have had all season.

Whether Berahino ends up a good player or not, so far he hasn't been fit to lace the fucking boots of Negredo, or Dzeko for that matter.

I find it hard to believe you actually watch City. You are just here on some weird fucking UKip type agenda.

To be fair WBA went down to 10 men extremely early.

If we could get him for c.£15m and then loan him back to WBA for next season it would be a great bit of business.

Whatevef the reason, what kind of a fucking balloon would suggest he is in any way better than Negredo was & more to the point, that Negredo was a failure.

If we sign Berahinho, fine, I don't think he'll play & Iheanacho will outshine him quickly, but it's this ridiculous anti Txiki etc agenda which does my head in, trying to belittle every aspect of everything they have done or might do. It's just weird nonsense.

I think he's found his level. Mid table player who'd be a good fit for the rags.

Accusing me of having a UKIP agenda for imploring us to sign an African refugee?

Care to elaborate?

Did any club in the world spent more money in strikers than us in the past 5 years ?

Did any club in the world spent more money in strikers than us in the past 5 years ?

Yes. In the last 5 years we've spent - £38m Aguero
£28m Dzeko
£22m Balotelli
£22m Jovetic
£16m Negredo
£25m Bony

Total £149m or so.

Ibrahimovic - £71m
Neymar - £71.5m
Suarez - £76m
Sanchez - £25m
Villa - £30m

Total £273.5m or so, plus whoever else they signed

Hold up. So if Berahino was to come he won't be playing but you see Iheanacho playing a fair bit and scoring double figures in the prem?

I think he's quite clearly saying that Kelechi is a better player than Berahino, in pretty much every way, which I'd be inclined to agree with. So if we did sign Berahino, he'd quickly get stuck behind Kelechi in the pecking order

Ok. So on what do you base this on. As one has proven they can score in the premier league and the other hasn't had an appearance yet. You are speculating about how he will cope in the league. I hope you are right but it is just guess work. As others have said Negrado, considered a resounding success had 9 goals in a season. Berahino has 14 at 21 years old in a poor side. I'd be happy to have Ihnacho rather than Berahino as we need to start producing but to automatically say he would be better than Berahino when he does get in the side is speculation.

Sanchez and Neymar are more wingers/forwards than your typical striker type but even at that it seems Barca have still spent more but was IBRA really £71 mil??

There is so much more to football than goal scoring statistics, to most players at least. Negredo had an awfu lot more to his game than that, as does Kelechi. Berahino doesn't, at least in my opinion, he seems to be an incredibly limited player to me. You ask what I'm basing it on, well I'm basing this on watching them play, not on statistics or on guess work.

@'a'

He plays for England. Interesting that you see him as a refugee.

You seem to have an agenda against pretty much anything the Spanish blokes do & go from one thread to another, even one forum to another, looking to find holes in everything they do & everything they could possibly want to do, whilst twisting & ignoring pretty much everything that has actually been a success.

The idea fhat Negredo was a failure is one of the most bent, biased, agenda ridden pile of fucking bollocks posts in the history of the internet. We even made a fucking profit for fucks sake.

Winning the title appears to be a problem for you rather than something which worked.

You are not being straight about what you post, & have an agenda. And the more success we have, at every level, the more people like you seem to be appearing, some of which seem to have a axe to grind with stuff that has happened at City & a blind spot for what we have achieved.

I think you are a wrongun.
