Negredo? Let's hope so
Friday, July 17, 2009 at 1:53PM I'm still here. Just. Not leaving for another hour and a bit. Thought I'd share this from the resident Real Madrid fan over at Rumourwhores.com who obviously knows his La Liga inside out. This is an assessment of Negredo, who is being heavily linked as a soon-to-be Tottenham signing:
He is damn good. Product of the Real Madrid youth system. Should be good in the Premier League, IMO. Big, powerful guy who can bully defenders, win every header and a decent finisher in front of goal. Scored 13 goals in 07/08, 19 goals last season, that too while playing in a newly promoted team. If he adapts quickly, he will be dynamite.
Big mistake to sell him, IMO. Real Madrid needs a striker like him who offers something different up front. I hope it doesn't happen.
Fingers crossed it does then.

Spooky, no Blackberry/iPhone to blog from the sunbed?
i was scouring some Real boards last night myself and fans seemed pretty upset about the prospect of him leaving...apparently Real wants a buyback clause? never heard of those in US professional sports...it'd be crap to agree to that...we need to build a core, not basically get a guy on loan...
WSB, the last thing I want to think about is the fucking Internet and blogging.
Sun. Sea. Sex. Rum. Bars. Clubs. Parties.
Offline life is under-rated.
Negredo is GOOD !!!
So, six signings over the next week eh?
My mate is a Spaniard and follows it all and said to me that he thinks although KJH is a better player now that Negredo will adapt quicker and would be a great addition and with time could be as good as the scousers own Spanish striker and that's probably why they want a buy back clause.
Off anywhere nice Spooky????

Forget hunteler or negredo.....the player we need is podolski...atm left on the bench at bayer munich to his teamates toni and klose!!!bags of pace, big and would work wonders at tottenham...reminds me of Jurgen Klinsmann...Get PODOLSKI HARRY, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!
us futbol:
A buyback clause??? Are they serious?? That would be just as bad as the Frazier Campbell loan scenario!!! Anyways, I haven't seen Negredo play; I don't know if I believe scout sites anymore; BUT I honestly have a lot of faith in our new management set up.
SPURS!!!!!!!!!!
Have spoken to quite a few people about this guy now and all feadback is excellent, am beginning to think he could well be the better option for Tottenham than Huntelaar, here's hoping.
omg if we get podolski i will sing this song for days on end...

greatest..song...ever....i love corny euro pop/dance...its good stuff...
@ QSpurs - Podolski went back to his old club ages ago chap for about 10 million or something if I rememeber rightly

Better :)
forgot about that...Toppsy7 is right...goldi poldi is back on koln.
This buy-back clause just rubs me the wrong way. If Negredo starts to come good, they'll just swoop in and take him back. I can't understand why we wouldn't just buy him outright. I'm assuming the buy-back clause includes a cut-rate price option for RM to buy him back. On the surface it just looks like a year long loan.
All we can hope is that with all the money RM has and their new spending policy, they don't buy him back and keep buying established stars instead.
I'm hearing this is going to happen. Expect him to have a blistering season for us, then get snapped up by Man Utd.
Buy-back clauses only kick-in if the club WANTS to sell him. In this case Madrid would have first refusal. At least I think that;s how its meant to work.
@ oops:
Your explanation sounds correct... thanks for that!
COYS!!!!!!!!!
He's not a product of Real Madrid's youth system
Youth career
2000–2001 Escuela Fútbol A.F.E
2001–2004 Rayo Vallecano
I bloody hope oops's explanation is correct...would it even be worth it otherwise?
Just read on Nottingham Forest's official site that the Gunter deal is finalized: 1.75 million... I guess he isn't being loaned out then?
SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I'm wrong then the buy back clause will be for more money than we have paid out. I think Man Utd did the same with Rossi with regards to a get out clause.
I thought we rated Gunter? So much for that.
Must mean the two Sheff Utd players are on their way to us.
Looks like the Sheffield United deal will go ahead as Nottingham Forrest have announced the signing of Chris Gunter for 1.9 million, personals agreed and just a medical to go. Chimbonda next and we can then add the Kyle's to the collection of right backs, Pity as I thought Gunter played well whenever called upon
COYS
Oops is right , otherwise it would make no sense at all ... normally the club that has the bb clause can buy the player a "fixed price "( dependant on appearances , goals ...) at least that's how we work but then again i have never delt with the likes of Real so i would'nt know what they dare to put in their clauses
But it will never be a clause where they can decide whenever they want to , imagine a player having a splendid first half of the season and then swoops in his old club in January and just takes him back.
And then still the player himself also has somethinh to say in the matter , we live in a free europe where employees have the right to choose their employer

rayo vallecano is the third team in Madrid but is often considered as a satellite club for RM
went to Spurs v Exeter...1st and 2nd half spurs sides good......gunter played well right back so I suppose he needs to move on and get a regular slot at nottingham......the whole thing looked good together as a unit and team
RUMOURS ARE JUST THAT I WAIT UNTIL THEY BECOME FACT APART FROM ALL THAT CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY GOMES DID NOT PLAY THE OTHER NIGHT
gomes,woodgate,king,de santos,tarabt.......none were involved ......on the pitch.....maybe against bournemouth.....
cuddcini first hal and i think david button 2nd... looked like harry was letting the younger keeper have a game
as for the others not sure .....de santos and tarabt? need some games...modric was great....nice football
Dos Santos is playing for Mexico in the Gold Cup...that's why he isn't around
just read this post, reminds me of when i was on shrooms and i saw a giant pink elephant giving my father a rim job.
yid cunt

why don't you go on the man city site and call them arab cu*#s you racist cretin
their the ones trying to poach Mr chelsea !!
just going to make beating you again this season all the sweeter !

does that mean you'll be cancelling your holiday to Man city ? ..........there's allways brighton !
anyway,,,,,anyone seeing Spurs at bournemouth tnite........enjoi!
"your probably so thick that you think it is a gay holiday resort and are thinking of taking your chums with you !"
Ok son. No insult there. As for my intelligence, check back when you can tell the difference between "your" and "you're" matey.
NOW GO GET YOUR FUCKIN SHINE BOX

i didn't say i didn't insult you ........ i most certainly did ....and would do it again .

mate. let me spell it out cos you're obviously a bit downs syndrome ain't ya?
You called me a racist cretin, then came back and said me and my mates are gay. Now you say it was an insult. Get me? Ain't me claiming the moral high ground is it thick cunt? I am pointing out your hypocrisy.
You also talk about my intelligence but don't know the correct usage of "their" and "your".
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
yeah but i dropped out of school at 14 (fact)
and your probably a family man who runs a chip shop . (or just works in it)

i have kept things on the humour level whereas you keep needing to resort to anti-semitic/racist slurs
showing your upbringing/intelligence .....jog on to one of the chelsea sites where you'll be like a king amongst men (more like a dwarf amongst midgets)
"anyway comparing my posts to yours .... no contest "
agreed kid. Glad to see you admit it.
LMAO
I'm not entirely sure the inventor of the internet had this in mind. When's Spooky back from holiday? This could prove to be a very long week indeed.
Redknapp has also dismissed speculation linking the North Londoners with a move for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Negredo: "I know nothing about that either."
The same Redknapp who knew nothing about re-signing Robbie Keane yet the next day was sitting alongside him in a press conference annoucing him as Spurs' new forward.
You're a wanker spooky with your shit rumours. You are not in the know, you're a muggy two bob wanker. Suck my fat one you bellend.
