I am not saying he is a bad player that we just signed as a security blanket. I am just wondering if other people think that might have tipped the scales.
No.
I agree with the Dub in that Navas doesn't need Negredo for a cuddle if he misses home (he's got his wife & family here for that) but I do think that Saul's pretty much on the money inasmuch as the fact that they already have a well developed repartee on the field would be a consideration but not the deciding factor.
I think that their playing relationship will help them to settle into the perm and I'm really looking forward to the "it's Navas to Negredo and yes it's in the net!!" moments that I'm sure will be tripping (albeit often unwillingly) off the match commentators tongues.
Just love seeing rat boy with his "just sucked a lemon" face on!
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.
