Ill be happy to see ANYONE beside for Torres upfront really. ANYONE

Sigh!We should have targeted Llorente.I dont know why but i cant see negredo starting over torres for whatever reason,Hopefully i'll be proved wrong and negredo will bang them in!

I'd prefer Ba to Negredo. Don't see him really pushing Torres out of the first XI.

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. That is the only concrete answer you will get!

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.

Don't know him, so can't really rate him..

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 front

in the end, my personal opinion is that Negredo would be a better option for us than Ba

Would rather us buy Long from West Brom.

I wonder what is so bad about a striker who's main strength is finishing

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

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
