Pizy 18,985 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd prefer Ba to Negredo. Don't see him really pushing Torres out of the first XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,983 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Havent seen anything about him today (have been recovering in bed most of the day mind you) is this a goer or just the usual red top bullshit I wouldn't believe either.m just wait until a deal is done.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I wouldn't be against this transfer for the right price. I think people look at his goalscoring record which is good but not great and immediately decide he won't be good enough.However sometimes you have to look past stats and consider that some players are right for some teams. He is a strong unit, capable of winning a lot of headers which immediately gives us a much better target man option to Torres and threat for crosses into the box. He is also deceptively skillful - I'm not comparing him to Berbatov but he has a bit of that style within him, where he can hold a ball up and produce a bit of skill to bring another player into the game.We have goals from lots of different positions on the pitch so we don't necessarily need a 30 goal striker who we suddenly become reliant upon. Somebody like Negredo would hopefully chip in with 15-20 goals a season in all competitions but bring an alternative to what we currently have in the squad. If he is available for under £15m he would be a decent option to pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-25 12 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think Alvaro would be a good addition to the team for a number of reasons:- Savilla are among the Spanish clubs which are financially unstable. Therefore, the transfer wouldn't turn into a saga like we has with clubs like Benfica.- His integration into the team would cause far less hassle in comparison to a bigger name signing and personally think Ba would be fussy about not starting games.- to be frank, I wasn't impressed with Negredo while he was playing for Spain but with Savilla he is a totally different player,which is the type of players that we could use up frontin the end, my personal opinion is that Negredo would be a better option for us than Ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Jesus since when was 27 considered too old?It's not FM or FIFA - we can have 'prime age' players too Successful teams blend Youth+Experience - we need to do that BA's greedy agents have blown it, so f**k him and hello (possibly) this guy Well our recent policy has been to sig young hungry players not abv 24 takin FFP into acc we want long term fixes not short term ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well our recent policy has been to sig young hungry players not abv 24 takin FFP into acc we want long term fixes not short term onesYou have to be realistic - 27 = 4-5 good years minimum as a striker, before needing to be phased out...That's a long time to amortise a transfer and is perfectly adequate for FFP, where I would expect the 'mean' to be around 4 years - dependent upon the contract duration the player signs up to, most are 3-5 years.So signing a 27 or 28 year old player is perfectly fine and will not damage anything, plus we have younger options, Lukaku and some promising reserves to come through.If this guy can score goals, fit into the team and give 100% every game - he gets my vote...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He's not getting the credit he deserves in this thread. Sevilla's main striker for a couple of years now, a regular goalscorer in one of the top leagues in Europe. A fine all round striker who offers a physical presence up front, a bit of mobility and is a very talented finisher. I think he would be a really good signing and would certainly represent value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
