Sevillista;2722952 said:That's what everybody said about Soldado and Portillo. The sad truth is that Madrid would much sooner buy a big name for the forward position than trust its homegrown talent (see Cassano, RvN, Benzema, Huntelaar, Robinho, Owen, Baptista, Saviola, Higuain, etc). In two years time, Madrid will be chasing whoever is hot at the time and Negredo will be forgotten. That is unless he scores 20+ goals a season with Sevilla, which I don't expect to happen with Kanoute and Fabiano ahead of him and Jimenez's conservative tactics.
And yes, I know Negredo is better than Portillo and Soldado, but my point still stands.
No Negredo is WAY better than Portillo or Soldado who both proved to be flops whent he counting counted, now, Soldado is young and could still blossom, but playing in Getafe is not like playing in Madrid..
Negredo is going to Sevilla a team that will surely challenge for a European spot and who will also play in Europe....A team that is used to the pressure of the results and that experience will be invaluable to him to allow him to come back....There is a reason why they left a buyback inthere for him, othewise it would have been a straight sale....
