Now that we seem to be, potentially, down to the bare bones in the striker Department, last season's goal scoring feast seems doomed to be superceded in this new campaign, with a famine in that respect.
Perhaps we'll just have to rely upon a rock-solid defence to see us through over the next nine months.........

Anyway it said that the extent of the injury was not known and medical advice was being sought, so I think it is safe to say he's injured but whether it's a tear, a tweak or his leg's fallen off I have no idea

One thing is for sure with Negredo going I would have been happier us having a fourth choice forward. Fair do's we can play one up top with any of Silva, Madrid or Yaya playing just behind but if he his fucked and with the risks to Serg we could come unstuck. Would rather have seen us maybe keep Devante Cole and maybe play him for the Sheffield Wed game to allow him first team experience especially in these type of games.
Still we don't know again what's going on.

nine months?
There's another window
There's Nasri*
There's Silva*
There's Yaya*
There's Inehenacho (poss poor spelling) who might just arrive next month
*who as already mentioned by others could play in behind.
Oh and Aguero was still fit last time I looked (and scored for Argentina in the week so er.... in form too!)
How long is Jovetic out for btw?

If it was a case of City just being casual about it, then it's worth a moan. The Count didn't want Negredo to go, Negredo wanted to go. We sorted it for a profit.
We don't want some cunt on loan who is not good enough to replace him. Nor do we want to sign a player on a big expensive contract, just to make up the numbers. We asked about Falcao & the rags have paid desperation money for him.
If we are inconvenienced a bit by it, then we are inconvenienced; we do what we can without being fucking stupid.
Then next season, we continue building a team to be the best. Not sticking very expensive plasters over the weaker bits; we solve the problems properly.
