Was Suarez A list when Liverpool picked him up for 22 million, ? Better to buy them before they become A list.
Was Garcia A list when we picked him up for £15+M?
Glad we bought him before he became an A lister. Oh wait...
My point is that we aren't seriously in for the very top strikers. No one can dispute that.
Will Negredo step up to the mark? Only time will tell. But I'm not that confident he'll be the answer to our prayers.
Torres and Hulk were A list strikers when they were bought for 50m and 53m respectively. How'd they work out? We can play this game of player X was a non A list player and become terrific and player Y was crap but you can't make purchases based on this kind of sonsense. Tixi, Soriano and Pelle have seen Negredo up close and personal for several years and clearly they think highly of him. We've been in for Jovetic for a long time so again they think he's a quality player. We were in for Isco sho is an A list talent, we just weren't able to get him. napoli wanted more than we, Chelsea and Madrid were willing to pay. So it's not like we haven't been in for the "sexy" names.
