John.des said:Talked some Spanish friends today, they had an interesting say about Negredo, that they dont think he has much of a chance for Spain anymore, as Diego Costa is already a Spain player (he is Brazilian), and while NEgredo had a great chance to be the striker of Spain ahead of Torres, he hardly has a chance to start games at the WC instead of D. Costa, and no surprise especially given D. Costa form, while Negredo's form only was great until December or January, since that he really couldnt score sometimes to open net. While D. Costa is just raping La Liga wit Atletico.
Could be a mental thing for Negredo as well, as D. Costa just changed nationality, or decided he plays for Spain instead of Brazil around February or March this year.
Searched their friendly back in March vs Italy, D. Costa played 90 minutes (debut), Negredo stayed on bench.
After a good start at City he had every chance to start, but since that D. Costa became a rival for him and his form at the same time went awful.
Also his injury played a part in it.

Interesting. Didn't know that about Costa. Could indeed be a mental thing.
We believe in you Beast. You just need a goal !!!
Gabriel said:The next few games are rather important for Negredo, as I feel he has to get his form back now before the season closes. Second-season syndrome is quite common in England, with strikers no longer the surprise package they were when they arrived, so I'd like to seem him play with Aguero and, hopefully, some chances will fall his way and be taken.
