Good bless him. No reason for his leaving given, though. Thought he might have indicated it.

I'm gutted he's gone but that was a nice parting message.

Very classy from the Big Guy.

Thanks Alvaro. You gave us a terrific half season which shouldn't be forgotten. You played a big part in our success. Best of luck at Valencia.

He didn't have to write it, so it was a very nice touch. He sounds like he genuinely enjoyed his year here whatever his reason for wanting to leave. Best of luck to him at Valencia.

Interesting tidbit from Martin Samuel. Wonder what this "personal financial matter" means exactly?

By lunchtime on transfer deadline day, Alvaro Negredo was bound for Valencia. A conference call between executives at Manchester City had confirmed the move, with manager Manuel Pellegrini having the final say.

Negredo had made an outstanding start to his career in the Premier League, but then his stay turned sour. It was a personal financial matter and nothing to do with football, but it meant Negredo and his wife, Clara, were no longer happy in their new country. It is even possible to spot the moment when Negredo’s dissatisfaction begins and his form falls off a cliff. He scores 26 goals up to January 21, and none after.

Pellegrini’s view was a compassionate one. He knew Negredo’s departure would leave City short up front, but felt the player was as good as lost to the club, even if he stayed. It would be kinder to let him go home. If required, Yaya Toure or David Silva could be pushed into a more forward role. Anyway, the offer from Valencia was a good one: £25million, plus add-ons. With an eye on the demands of financial fair play, this was sensible business for City.

wonder if they had some investments at home that crashed, or made some poor choices as to who to give their money to. In that case a move and signing bonus might have been necessary to keep them going. Shame, and I hope the beast is alright and can start banging them in for valencia.

Well Peter Lim better hurry up and complete the takeover as he has a 28 million pound striker to pay for at the end of the season oh and the little matter of completing this.

I wonder if that's a typo and should have said personal family matter? I very much doubt he's earning any more at Valencia than he was doing here

He broke a bone in his foot, it will almost have healed by now so just fitness conditioning to get back up to speed.

Apparently it's a loan with a compulsory obligation to buy for a set price. Not sure what that's all about but guessing it has something to do with Valencia balancing books for FFP purposes.

Surely if it a compulsory obligation to purchase then the accountancy treatment would treat it as a sale by MCFC with the balance merely outstanding to be paid next year.

Isn't income only regarded as income when it (finally) comes in ??

Mind you, depending on the span of our financial year (is it something like July to the following June ??), it might only be a deferred payment within that period.

It works as does a P&L spread sheet.....only current income and loss counts , no other figure is taken into account until you have that income in the bank.

So next season when we are not under FFP restrictions, we will have another £25M plus Micah's purchase to add to the transfer kitty.

One would hope so but in relation to our rivals I don't think rags will stop spending until the win the league again,it might be suicide it might work who knows.

Still a bit puzzling this one for me , we can only assume we had another striker in our sights to replace Negredo but the deal never happened ? Good money though but fingers fucking crossed if Aguero or Dzeko gets injured .
Not really here
