What are you on about? I'm hypothesising a situation, not being pessemistic.CC1 said:KippaxCitizen said:Who says the bosses are happy about it? They might be saying the exact same thing as a lot of us are but find themselves in a situation that's too advanced and we find ourselves without the time to rectify it. There could be a meeting between Pellegrini Begiristain Soriano and al Mubarak next week and they might all agree that this was a negative thing and we hope we don't regret it. People make mistakes all the time in work, maybe City have here.bluesoup said:I'm happy with this deal. Not sure about a replacement but, anything can happen so if the bosses think this is okay then I am too...
Maybe we won't regret it and Kun and Jovetić stay fit all season and Džeko doesn't go into one of his low in confidence slumps. But it's a maybe going off previous examples.
Might .... could.....might.......maybe........maybe........maybe
A born pessimist. We did our big spending over the last 3 years. We are now tweaking our squad and PLANNING our buys NOT panic buying. We can't just buy players because they are available - nor can we stop other teams including the scum, from trying to improve their squad. But it doesn't lessen the quality we already have in our squad!!!!
GXCity said:We must have someone lined up for the January window and we have decided to cash in on Negrado now. It is the only logical reason for it
I agree it's disappointing but the bottom line is he wants to go, and he's injured and he's also not available for Europeono said:I'm sure the club do know about it but that doesn't stop us from being allowed to moan about it haha.Marvin said:You don't think City know all that?ono said:This is seriously stupid by us. Aguero has spent the last 2 years with various injuries, Jovetic has spent his entire career consistently injured so that leaves us with Dzeko who is the only physically reliable player up top.
On top of that, Yaya will miss around 6 weeks in January.
We have a very tough CL group, with potential 6 pointers sandwiched in between the CL games. There's an obvious need to freshen it up. That was evident on Saturday, and that's only three games into the season.
It's like we haven't learnt from our last title defending season. Losing a 23 goal striker is a disaster, if we want to be successful in all four competitions.
This isn't needless flapping. I would be just as concerned had we only had 3 centre backs. I'd be even more concerned if two of the three had spent large parts of last season injured.
This will bite us on the arse if Negredo goes. We need four forwards. This has been handled comically bad.
Which Negredo are we losing? The unstoppable phenomena or the absolutely useless lump? We don't know what his mentality was like this season. He might hae been promised a move if a Spanish bid came along for all we know. As I have said repeatedly Negredo can't play until October and can't play in Europe so he's a pretty useless 4th choice striker anyway. And the window opens in January
We may come to regret this. These are managerial decisions you take which have an element of risk and a regard to many factors which we don't know about including the individual
It's just a big risk to take. Even though Negredo is out til Oct/Nov, there is still a period of about a dozen games where rotation would be very useful. Considering there was only 7 points between 1st and 4th last season, it only takes a couple of bad results to put us in a pickle.
We can buy again in January, but as we saw with Dzeko, he might not see the benefit til the year after.
We've done a great but of business with Negredo financially, but we really do need a replacement to come in. He did only score 9 in the league, but he scored 14 in the cups, and that will take some replacing.
