Great player. And, most importanly, a great attitude. He'll be missed for sure.
One thought though, does anybody think this will affect Navas by any chance? We know he's had problems with homesickness and now losing his close friend might have an adverse affect. Just a thought.

He can talk with David, Kun, Martin, Zaba and Willy. They all played in Spain and speak Spanish, so obviously they have a lot in common.itisrising said:Great player. And, most importanly, a great attitude. He'll be missed for sure.

Interesting:
By lunchtime on transfer deadline day, Alvaro Negredo was bound for Valencia. A conference call between executives at Manchester City had confirmed the move, with manager Manuel Pellegrini having the final say.
Negredo had made an outstanding start to his career in the Premier League, but then his stay turned sour. It was a personal financial matter and nothing to do with football, but it meant Negredo and his wife, Clara, were no longer happy in their new country. It is even possible to spot the moment when Negredo’s dissatisfaction begins and his form falls off a cliff. He scores 26 goals up to January 21, and none after.
Pellegrini’s view was a compassionate one. He knew Negredo’s departure would leave City short up front, but felt the player was as good as lost to the club, even if he stayed. It would be kinder to let him go home. If required, Yaya Toure or David Silva could be pushed into a more forward role. Anyway, the offer from Valencia was a good one: £25million, plus add-ons. With an eye on the demands of financial fair play, this was sensible business for City.

That pass to Milner against Fulham.....wow. I'll remember him as a bloody good footballer who matched his skill with grit.

I don't suppose this was anything to do with those rumours of him rubbing up someone the wrong way in town? Or something. I don't fucking know its nearly 5am.

Class act. He changed after that shoulder injury at WHU. It certainly looked like he was trying hard - but lost some composure and strength in the games he featured in after. He played his part in our history.
