With Barcelona having secured the services of former Liverpool man Luis Suarez, undoubtedly one of the world’s finest strikers and a player who has lit up the Premier League despite his controversial nature, the verdict of the poll asking who the best forward signing was may have seemed like a foregone conclusion, but this didn’t transpire.
Suarez was edged down into third place in the poll, finishing 0.1% of the vote behind two other strikers – Valencia new boy Alvaro Negredo and Atletico Madrid signing Antoine Griezmann.
Negredo spent just one season with Manchester City before moving back to La Liga, initially on a season long loan deal but with a view to buy, with Negredo joining up with Valencia, a side expected to be big players in future La Liga seasons following a takeover by Peter Lim at the Mestalla.
Griezmann, meanwhile, moves to the Vicente Calderon on the back of a hugely successful campaign for Real Sociedad, that saw him emerge as one of Spain’s most exciting young players who was linked with a host of top European clubs.
Suarez, it seems, will have to change the Spanish public’s collective minds with his performance for Barcelona once his ban expires.
