Valencia in for Negredo?

[Tron Coltrane]

Not very fashionable, but if this deal does go through I'd rather avoid dropping a current player from our CL roster (like Jovetic, MDM, Navas who some are nominating) and just promote a younger player like Hiwula for the season for Cup games.

If we ever play one up front it'll be in Europe, and between Kun, Jovetic, and Edin you'd assume that one of them will be fit. If injury disasters bite us in the ass then the damage would be playing one up front in the league as well. But I feel like Jordi is ready to take League Cup games, and the early FA Cup ones as well pending first team fitness.

Save the money, save dropping a current player from the CL, and spend the remainder on Reus next summer.

Or offer a decent fee for Reus this season leaving Dortmund not risking losing him for €35m next summer.

I reckon if we offered £40m it would make Dortmund consider.

Reus would be immense in our team in my opinion.

I'd love to see Reus fully recover before laying down £40m, and I'm not in a huge hurry to drop someone like Jovetic from our European roster. Personally would rather start a season long courtship, with a professional approach to Dortmund and the assurance we'll match any offer. But if it ends up your way I'm certainly not going to sit in a corner and cry over it.

If he's replaced with Falcao then i say ta-ra!
Similar age, both injured but Falcao = goals

What and Negredo doesn't = goals?

The club don't need Falcao.

Falcao had his chance to play in top clubs to prove he was world class, however he turned down that opportunity in favor of money. It showed his lack of ambition if you ask me.

Am a big fan of negredo but truth is he really struggled since jan and he's not getting any younger whereas falcao has been a bit more consistent I believe

Haha

I just think mate that if we sell Negredo we will have him replaced in this window, we will have weakened if we don't.

I hear you. Just not in a hurry to keep Jovetic off our roster under his current form (most seem to prefer him over the option of pace -- Navas -- and definsive reinforcement -- Martin). And I am a believer in youth for the League Cup and early FA Cup games. Which just boils down to a 4th striker for the league, in which case I'm happy to let it ride this year and go all in on Reus next season. Not for everybody, I know. Certainly doesn't scratch the itch for people who love fancy signings. Just throwing my own two cents in.

I think they would more than consider it. Its either sell this summer for a good fee or sell to Bayern for his buyout next summer.

Why are you assuming Jovetic would lose his spot in the CL? Not saying he wouldn't but if we bring in an attacking mid like Reus or Isco I would think it would be Milner or Navas (probably Milner with Wright added and Caballero dropped as well).

Real Madrid have followed Valencia in asking City about the availability of Negredo, according to Goal.

Swap for Isco..... disco time :)

I think we saw with Lewandowski this season that Dortmund are not afraid to lose a player on the cheap, but I agree, I doubt Dortmund want to risk losing another player to Bayern.

I am not ruling out a contract extension because you never know if Reus wants to see out his career out at Dortmund, but if not then surely bids of around £35-£40m must be attractive offers this summer.

Can you imagine him, Aguero, Silva and Nasri linking up together? Immense!

According to goal who are pretty hot on city news - Real Madrid asked about negredos availability now.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

He would be a class signing for madrid. Would fit in to there style perfectly

Di Maria swap deal...Isco although young and potentially WC is more of the same (Silva, Nasri, Jovetic). Di Maria provides something different
