I understand that Negredo was desperate to go and am very sorry for him going, on top form a great striker !!
In theory, having three strikers should be ok as we can comfortably set up with Yaya or Silva behind a front one. It also means it's less difficult to keep the players happy. However, Jojo has a history of long term injuries and Sergio has suffered off and on for a while. The transfer window opens again in less than 4 months so hopefully this will be sorted then.
