Valencia in for Negredo?

[deano ou812]

1) We don't need the money
2) Our management won't budge on the 25m asking price
3) If we do let him go I hope we have someone lined up as replacement.
4) If RM and Valencia are involved I don't see why the price has to be less than asking price, they always fleece us.
5) We don't I suspect need Isco
6) Why loan Falcao if he is available even at 50m we should buy outright.
7) We could take him as a straight swop for Di Maria(RM have over inflated his price), that would seriously piss on the rags chips and give us that left width we need.

I am a little shocked that this rumour has gotten this far after the player said he was happy being with us.

Heads can get turned very quickly though mate.

Valencia does look an exciting project and I reckon he will be guaranteed a starting position, and Real Madrid is Real Madrid.

You just don't know if his family wants to go back to Spain as well.

I think we might see something happen in the next few days.

Is this just rumours or transfer gossip or have the clubs been talking?

Tried to include a brief explanation above, but that seemed like popular consensus after reading throughout this summer. Most were reluctant to lose Navas because he was our only pacey winger. Martin seemed like a non-starter. Few wanted to take a chance on Wright starting if we suffered an injury to Hart, and were also under the impression that signing Willy and leaving him out of Europe might ruffle his feathers one game into his City tenure. And Milner is HG, is he not? All of which boiled down to Jovetic drawing the short straw... not my choice, but that was the consensus I had gathered.

Yeah Milner is home grown but that is why Wright would have to step in for Willy. I agree that Jovetic is the consensus on here but I think that may be based on last season. I think Pellers really rates him.

When it comes down to it...Selling a 29 year old Negredo for a 25 year old Reus or a 22 year old Isco is a no brainer.

If that becomes a reality dropping a 32 year old backup keeper from the CL and a utility wide man (who just dropped from 4th choice to 5th and who is running his contract out) is also a no brainer in my mind. Even with the slight risk with Wright as your backup.

Didn't RM stick him on the bench and never really got a chance and flogged him to Malaga, is he really going to go back there and sit on the bench again with Bale Trannie and James in front of him oh and I forgot Benzema. Bloody world has gone insane.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Would be sad to see him go after only one season but if it meant we would definitely get one of Isco, Di Maria or Reus I think it would be better for us.

We still don't know if he is over his goal drought after his shoulder injury and is recently injured again. He is also not the youngest.

Saying that I would be perfectly happy to keep him as he was brilliant in the first half of the season and can hopefully recapture that form again.

He also (IMO) is unsettled.

I'd hate to see him go. Maybe he is happy at City but if there's any truth to his family not settling in well and for opportunity of 1st team play (Valencia), I can't fault him for going back to Spain.

I do question whether his loss of form was down to more than just his shoulder injury, to go from January to May without a goal in a team that creates a lot of chances does make you wonder.

If Willy was signed with the understanding that he won't be eligible to play in Europe then I'm fine with the above, if it means a player like Reus on the books.

If it means Jovetic sits out of European contention, I'd prefer to let it ride and start the Reus courtship for next summer. With Jovetic raring to go and full of optimism, and viewing this season as a clean slate, I think that leaving him out of Europe would lead to an amicable request for us to find him a new home, possibly in Italy.

 

[Samosa]

Something clearly wasn't right from February onwards of last season. It's a shame if he goes because had everything been alright with him then he would've been a key element in the run-in and we'd now be discussing Dzeko being sold instead.

I'd still like to see him stay but if he wants to go back to Spain and we can pull in a decent fee then we can't complain.

Completely agree with the second paragraph. Really excited about Jovetic this season.

if real madrid really want negredo
so I'd like ( negredo = demaria loan + right to purchase next summer for a smaller fee )

We've got around £25 million(at the minute) plus Negredo right now if it came down to it so no loan needed.
