Alvaro Negredo

Álvaro Negredo Sánchez, aka Negredo, could be our first signing according to L'Equipe (you can view the article here - but you'll need to know a thing or two about the French language).

What do we know about this player? Well, we know that he's never played for Real Madrid's first-team before. We also know that he'll be 24 in August and that he scores a goal in about every 3 games.

If anyone can shed anymore light on the player that is supposedly signing for us for approximately £16 million, please let all of us know.


Digg!

  1. I hope to God we don't sign this player! Buy Huntelaar instead!!! He probably can't speak english and will need time to adapt to the Premier League. NOO PLEASE NOO!!!
  2. Done deal
  3. this is done
  4. You might wanna edit your article...

    What do we know about this player? Well, we know that he's never played for Read Madrid's first-team before.

    Who the hell is READ Madrid.....LOL
  5. be ready for friday press conf!!!!!
  6. how is this a done deal nothing on the website........
  7. the article in l'equipe is about a story on a spanish radio station aes
  8. Would much rather have Huntelaar! Could be another expensive mistake.
  9. he must be decent enough for madrid to use his buy back option from almeria in order to then on sell him for more than twice the cost...

    whether he can adapt is another thing - better than bent? hmm....
  10. hopefully untrue, glad he hasn't played for read madrid though, they are sooo crap it's unbelievable!! Would much prefer Huntelaar also!!! Come on Arry, pull your finger out!!!
  11. nothing on sky sports news or on tottenham website........ He does look like a good player lets hope we get him....
  12. Another 15+ million player. Is that the only amount we know how to spend on a player?
  13. Cheers for that. Article amended.

  14. Did anyone go to the game last night just wondering
  15. Just watched video footage of some of his goals, nice touch with either foot, looks like a natural poacher, I like him.
  16. I personally think the tabloid has got its wires mixed. Why sign Negredo when we can have Huntelaar?
  17. There is a brief comment on the sky sports website, check out 14:20.

  18. Someone told me we're getting them both and Ashley Young. Not sure it's proper ITK material as everyone seems to have them these days. Also Pavlyuchenko, Keane n Jenas to leave
  19. Yer he does look like a good player but will he be any good in the premier league i dont no..... we have to sign him first and tbh i think this is just paper talk..... but u never know.. i like him
  20. every1 that seems to say its a done deal, how do u you know? all the supposed 'itk's seem to think they actually know deals are going through and there usually wrong.
  21. Right chaps, just had a gander at the l'equip article and it basically says......
    The strike COULD be signed very quickly, the sale would be the first of 7 or 8 departures after the big name purchases.

    The price could be 18-20 million euros and the deal could be concluded within 48 hrs. Yep he scored 19 goals last season and at the moment he is training in Ireland with Real.

    Thinking about it this translation doesnt shed any light on things, but its a well known fact that Real Madrid use various media sources to release information before the club make any statements.....

    Personally I think its alot of money, but I do trust harry 110% so if it happens he will get my support!
  22. I can only assume 'Arry reckons that he could convert him in to a decent centre half. Why on earth are we buying another striker? Priorities gentlemen. We have 4 strikers and 2.5 centre halves (Daws, Woody and poor Ledley)... and I thought last seasons transfer circus had been a painful lesson, but a lesson nonetheless... seems not.
  23. Hate to say it but it could be another Helder Postiga. If he is good in the air then that will give us something because Pav' hasn't been good enough aerially.
  24. Having watched him in La Liga last season, this guy has Premiership quality stamped all over him. He's big, quick, good in the air, equally at home with either foot and he has a proven goal scoring record which i may add is much better the Huntelaar's. In my opinion if the deal gets done he could be the signing of the season.
  25. That's quite a bold statement.

    I remember a certain Mateja Kezman that signed for Chelsea. He scored a bundle in Holland. He had a good touch, could use both feet and looked pretty decent. We all know how that turned out.

    I don't believe the article to be true. Firstly, Harry has got to spend before he can buy, meaning he's got to ship out another few before he can fork out 15-16 million on Negredo.

    Secondly, Harry himself said that he is only interested in signing established players. Negredo isn't established; he's not even played for Real Madrid.

    I can't see it happening.
  26. Anonymous (5.33pm) - is talking absolute rubbish. I work with the guy and it is quite clear he plays more hockey than football!! Let's have comments from real supporters please!!!
