Bought Necid in my 4th season as manager of Sunderland. He was 23 I think, got him for 16mil from Rubin. Found him using Genie scout while looking for a good strong target striker.
I got Welliton in my first season, and for the first season I played with Welliton and Bent. Bent was consistently underperforming for me, and he wasn't technical enough for my liking so in my second and third seasons I swapped between playing Welliton solo and pairing him with Frazier Campbell - very fast striker who did quite well.
Welliton is a good pacey striker so I was playing him as a poacher, so I wanted a target striker to add another dimension to my attack.
For me, it was a difficult choice between Necid and Guillaume Hoarau. Hoarau fit in better with my team according to my scouts, cheaper, and more technically able but I decided on Necid because he was younger and had more room to grow.
Necid has done well for me so far, and is my first choice striker. At the end of my 4th season, I was keeping an eye on Hoarau and fantastically he decided not to renew his contract, so I signed him on a free transfer! Added good depth to my squad and performed very well.
Sold Hoarau after one season for 8.75 mil as he was getting old and I could use the money after some big transfers, saddened my fans but I figured oh well!
Sorry if I'm rambling - point is, Necid is a good buy and definitely a wonderkid if u get him early
