Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has discussed the departure of Alvaro Negredo to Valencia.
Pellegrini refused to say if they were in the running to sign Radamel Falcao before he joined neighbours Manchester United, but believes that City have enough forwards to cope.
He said: "The decision for Negredo to go out was for two very important reasons - first of all, we had a restriction on the number of players we can use in the Champions League, we had one player more and in this case Alvaro was injured so he was not going to be on the list.
"For him, it was also very important that he went back to Spain so I thought that was the best decision. But it all started with the restriction on the number of players.
"It is one striker less of course, but we have Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, Stevan Jovetic and other players we can use behind the strikers. There are other options."
