Well done to you, even though it is quite sobering.
Mikhail, it was our shared opinion about not properly replacing Negredo, that inspired the reseach... I'm really glad that it was helpful and of interest.
The optimistic flipside is that there is only one team that has remained in the Top 2 positions, for the last 4 years... No, it's not Chelsea, not Utd, not Liverpool, not Arsenal... Yes, it's City and long may they stay at the top!
but honestly we've replaced Negredo literally with Bony. So, heading into this season we should have that base covered. Bony should do on par with what Negredo did if he plays regularly imho.
Now it's replacing the outgoing Jojo and Jayko and i think we'll only be in for one more striker if both go. Sterling really is viewed I believe as a striker, or a false 9, or a No 10, whatever you want to fucking call it on the day depending on who else he plays with. He'll play up front, obviously. And will likely be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Mmmmmm
I certainly hope you're right in this assessment but, at this point in time, I still need to be convinced.
I suppose that's the curse of being a pessimist.
