The Beast - "I don't want to leave City"

He has to say that because City won't sell him cheap.

Yeah, and he looks really upset and like he's being forced to say it. Come on Dawg, don't be cynical.  

There was all this talk of him going to Atletico but City wanted more than they were going to pay. I don't remember him saying anything at all during the speculation.

Now they've bought someone else, he comes out and says something.

I don't remember any City official saying "yes, we want to sell him, but for a higher price".

As we all know, papers put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5.

Costa leaves A Madrid, who out there can we see as a replacement? "Oh, Negredo didn't go to the WC, his form dropped towards the end of the season, he must be homesick, he'll be perfect for Madrid"

The only thing City have said is "Negredo isn't for sale".

He'll probably go now for £30m!! 

Negredo looked happy enough on his return to training, he was still very jovial with the returning lads too. There didn't seem anything to suggest anything to the contrary anyway.

Maybe with Serge and Dzeko still away (or late back), he sees it as an opportunity to get his and Citys season off to a flyer....here's hoping anyway.

Ah, come on mate, this is a piece of fan fluff for the website, it's hardly the same as a full bore statement to the press! This would've been filmed a week or so ago, when the powers that be start drumming up interest before the season starts and, if I have it right, Nedge hasn't done a #Ask video before now, so he'd be a good person to start with.
