Negredo

[davymcfc]

i have faith that the beast can turn his form around.

The way I see it when they were purchased, Jovetic was meant to be Aguero's backup and Negredo was meant to be Dzeko's backup . This is why we rarely see, Jovetic and Aguero together and Negredo and Dzeko together.

The problem is both Jovetic and Aguero have been injured for a good part of the season and when Negredo got injured we had no choice but to transition to play a single forward. Credit has to go to Dzeko also who carried it pretty well on his own. Add to this that we are no longer in CL, all the forwards are back to healthy and it's easy to see why Negredo's playing time has shrunk.

I think Pellegrini wants to play with two forwards, Aguero with Negredo and Dzeko with Jovetic. And ideally all forwards will probably be seeing similar amount of time on the pitch.

Inter's owner when asked about Dzeko was recently quoted saying: "I only announce the players that we sign, not the players that we dream about"

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2014/04/29/4784130/zanetti-to-retire-this-summer-and-become-inter-director" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/20 ... r-director</a>

Which leads me to believe that Dzeko might actually be staying as well (but then again anything is possible, there is certainly interest which is likely to grow after WC).

edit: another interesting fact is Dzeko only has 30 more minutes played in the League games. So can't really complain that much considering he has been injured too.

I hope he score agains Everton.

Please, please, please rediscover your early season form again next season.

I honestly think this guy is quality.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Class is permanent fella..tis just a dip in form..

New season,new beginnings.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

The shoulder knock probably didn't help his blip - but the squad delivered. The Beast will rise again.

 

[olddirty]

Negredo is a good bloke and a quality player, he will rise for sure.
Glad he receives support here, something Dzeko never gets in his dry spells...

 

[Joycee Banercheck]

Did he get the nod for world cup squad? Reckon he'll be on fire come August regardless. Him, jovetic, aguero, wankathon

Don't think it's been announced yet

 

[MSP]

I guess no winter break did him, he's so out of being fit. He looked knackered on that dressing room celebration video when he came in, and he was on the pitch for 15-20 minutes.

Yeah it is, he is in the world cup squad.

I saw, that he looked shattered
He will be back to the beast next season

Is he in the world cup squad?

 

[chris85mcfc]

Is he in the world cup squad?

Yep and Silva and Navas

 

[Matty]

Is he in the world cup squad?

Yep and Silva and Navas

Not strictly true. All 3 are in the "provisional" squad of 30 that Spain have named, that will need to be whittled down to 23 before the official squad is announced.

Good news for him
Thanks chris

 

[Chris in London]

Is he in the world cup squad?

Have they actually named their final squad? I thought they had named a provisional squad of 30 (which he is in) that will later be whittled down to 23 (which he might or might not be in).

Ahh right fair enough i just caught a snippet and saw their names. In that case Dave is a dead cert and id imagine Negredo is as well. I've got one or two concerns over Navas due to his recent injury and lack of games.

Fingers crossed they all go. Their squad of 30 really is frightening. Still don't think they will win it tho.

 

[MCFC4EVR]

Im sure Navas will go he gives them a different dimension but don't think Negredo will go think it will be Costa and Llorente and they have Fabregas who's been used as a forward as well.

 

[01cravend]

They only play one up front.
Costa and Negredo are used to that and have been the first choice in recent squads. Torres is, I don't even know, Llorente lacks technique to be effective for them.
Think they can risk taking two strikers. They've played Silva and Fabregas in the cf role before if it came to that.
