But I knew little of Negredo either and he looks ok!
Made La Liga team of the year.....
Played 7 years at Bayern Munich - together with Santa Cruz and Hargreaves and van Buyten... ;) Probably the only transfer directly from South America Bayern had that really worked. Played 174 matches for Bayern.
Lost his place at Bayern to Badstuber in 2010/2011. Van Gaal promotes youth. That is why he left Munich in winter 2011 (like van Bommel did).
He was outstanding in some of the CL matches last year - sometimes I still follow his matches.
Has a lot experience and can even be used as a defensive midfielder - Malaga did a couple of times the recent two years e.g. against Real.
