City did the right thing to let Negrado go. As much disappointed as I am due to the fact I really liked the guy(great attitude, great player, and giving it all with no fuss), his family seems not have settled in Manchester and the last thing you want is to exacerbate the situation which would be a lose-lose to all parties.

Good luck to you Negrado, you would always be remembered fondly by City fans.

If we do miss him it will be injury or loss of form that makes this the case. The three forwards that we have are excellent and it looks as though John Guidetti could also be available if the Celtic appeal to Uefa falls on deaf ears. He is a physical player, he is still young and although the decision appears to have been made to let him go permanently when an opportunity arised I would like to see him get a chance to make a statement. I saw a fair bit of John pre-eason and thought that he was getting back close to his previous best. There is also young Kelechi Iheanacho would not suffer from a bit of top class competitive exposure. Whilst he was only taken along to whet his appetite and at 17 or so has a way to go in his development, he looked very much the part. If Raheem Sterling can shake off the ‘ageist’ doubters then maybe Kelechi can too?

……and Gary, every player will not excel every game. Samir Nasri and Yaya Toure have both served the club well and have many more positives racked up against their names than negatives.

Sad to see him go. However I think we will be much stronger playing 1 up front, Jovetic can still play on the left or just behind. When playing 2 up front we seem to lack control in games especially against the big teams. I also think we will be able to break teams down easier with yaya pushed forward or navas on the right with silva playing in the middle where he is much more effective. Hopefully we will see a change of tractics after that awful performance against stoke.

Congratulations on what is an excellent and astute piece of writing. Spot on! I too was baffled as to why we would/could let the Beast go? Him & Kun were so awesome last season and I was so looking forward to seeing that partnership back up & running when they destroyed everything in their wake. A joy to watch. The point of allowing Merlin to sit just behind is a valid one, Yaya too (when he can be bothered putting the effort in). Merlin, especially, is wasted out wide. We need him in the mix of it all creating through balls that we lack so much from the stagnant going nowhere passes of Nasri.
