Negredo

[Jon London]

A Spanish Malcolm Macdonald

[mr_nool]

He's a bit hit and miss, but he works his socks off for 90 minutes - and not only for himself, but for the team. He's very likeable. Like a forward version of Zabaleta.

[MilnersJaw]

the good thing is he has a meat head as well.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Reminds me of Uwe - not in style, but impact. No one expected much when he arrived or had even heard of him, but within a few games won us over with goals, work rate and general attitude.

[FA cup winners 2006]

I was the first to say he will be shite, bad business from us.

I am the first to say i was wrong. What a fucking monster he is. Great great great piece of business from us.

Take a bow, son!

Why did you feel he was shite or why was it bad business? Did you feel this when we signed him or after seeing him in a couple of games, either way it seems strange.

Why are players not giving time to settle into the club anymore, why when players are underperforming, do we instantly blame the player and say they are shite and need to be dropped/sold.

Negredo is looking good and has played a few of decent games, nothing more nothing less, I think there is more to come from him. likewise, Fernandinho has shown glimpses of what he can do and if giving time to settle he will be quality

i've enjoyed watching his first touch with those long probing balls, but what stands out to me is how with his size and strength he is more comfortable using it than dzeko, particularly in the air.

in the bayern match i kept thinking, if we only had negredo in, when we had a few corners before the game got out of hand. of course, he comes in scores a goal and makes a decent header on one corner in limited minutes.

if this keeps up i could very well see dzeko going to somewhere like dortmund after the season's over (given lewandowski being off next year), also to make room for jovetic.

[halnone]

he's fast becoming one of my favorite players at the club. Absolutely immense.

He NEEDS to be starting ahead of Dzeko for now on.

He's cool. My wife insisted that he was shit as Seville while I was always saying that he wasn't. I wish she cared about anything outside of Spanish football so I'd be able to tell her that he's doing very well at City as well.

She likes (and presumably watches) Spanish football but thought Negredo was shit at Sevilla?! That is absolutely bizarre. He was consistently excellent at Sevilla and is highly regarded by all in Spain.

I think that's the thing. She will always feel that Seville peaked during Ramos's tenure and that noone will ever be as good as Kanoute. SHe doesn't watch football that much anymore either no.

[Breks]

All round better player than Dzeko. Great signing he is made to play in the Premier league. Has to start instead of Dzeko.

[Spurge]

don't want to compare to Dzeko - but just want to comment on topic.

Negredo is having/will have an excellent season for us, he's an old fashioned no 9 type forward it's true to say, but his movement/anticipation is top notch and his touch his first class and his goals to games ratio aint bad either.

[Dunnylad]

It was also important for him to score from a start, rather than as sub as it'll stop the 'super sub' tag being hung round his neck. Agree with much of what has gone before, he looks suited to the Premiership when most foreign forwards struggle with the physical nature, Negredo looks like his thrives & dishes it out as well - very promising start to his City career, long may it continue

[lets all have a disco]

I fucking love strikers who dish it out hard.


That's all really,continue Mr Negredo.

Well, because he never impressed me at Sevilla. Neither did Navas. I”ve watched him in many games and he failed to deliver, even though he looked ok. I was always in doubt why Madrid or Barcelona didn”t have a go with him.

I think he needed a change of scenario to become very good. I only hope he continues because he looks like our best transfer.

[phips]

between the Premier League and La Liga Negredo is only behind Messi and Ronaldo in league goals scored in 2013.

[john@staustell]

Tough hard case for sure and can play a bit.

But I'm interested to know why Peter said he would be shite before he'd even seen him - his record in Spain is excellent - typical City fan running down a signing before they've kicked a ball?

And why do people say he should start every match? That pre-historic principle comes from the 60s and 70s. If he started every match he's be knackered and wouldn't have the same effect every game.

Luckily Pellegrini seems to know how to rotate.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

He's my hero now (alongside Zabaletta). Does everything and even with only a minute to go yesterday he was still running into their box trying to get on the end of a cross/pass. Scores goals, roughs up defenders, holds up the ball, can head the ball, pass, is seriously smart, runs for the whole game and is constantly geeing-up his team mates. Love the guy! Must be a regular starter now.
