David Villa

[termninja 5,290]

i think Villa is brilliant, really good striker but he is 29 and there is no way we should pay 40 million for him (altho i doubt we are really in for him) but 28-30 million and i think id have to say go for it. Seems that this summer is sponsored by the number 40,000,000

It's just the endless speculation of the media. We and City are mentioned in every transfer There's no way in hell we'll sign him.

na i cant see it either but he would be a great addition to the team and front 3 ,if thats what we are going for. I think he is fantastic coming in from the left and striking

Doesn't make sense, he just signed him last summer..

Dear god this rumor is stupid.

Remember someone called Ibrahimovic?

Let's get another struggling Spanish forward, who's in?

i think david villias record speaks for itself, plus wasnt his stats last season something like a goal every other game or just under that and it was only last summer he was the stand out striker in the world cup winning spain side.

Ibra was being frozen out though. David Villa has played almost every game for them, despite his Torres-run-of-form! Lazy journalism. After Rossi being close to a Barca switch it's an easy rumour to make up.

I'd love us to sign this fella, always been a fan.. but it won't happen.

Why would we "give" Barcelona the money to become even stronger in exchange for a 29 year old player who is a striker btw!? Absolutely not needed. Why wouldn't we rather pay a bit more for Aguero or Neymar for example? They would pay back the money to us and buying them wouldn't make Barcelona stronger.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Because of the fact that Villa is 29, I wouldn't even give him a second thought! We need players who are younger than him!

Iker Muinan please!

Ibra stayed there only one season. So, I wont be surprised if they let him go for a good price.

Ibra was a starting XI. He played almost every game for them.

I've love him to come to us just to get Cescpit out the premiership. Plus David Villa aint bad... Torres' spain partner, Nando would love it and so i would i. Could u just imagine a front 3 of Drogba, Torres & Villa... wow. Lukaku can watch.

Anyway although it makes huge sense (At least to me) it probably wont happen.

Actually I don't think Torres would love it. He and Villa are friends but playing with Villa in the Spain kinda crimps Torres' game. Of course Spain plays the game that is best for the team overall and not for Torres so he has to grin and bear it. Or he can be easily replaced.

[dodojojo 510]

Barcelona wanted Villa for a long time so I don't think they would be as quick to get rid as they did with Ibra. I think they'll do it if the stars align but won't do it hastily or for cheap. Villa is Spain's greatest striker and still very, very good but I think with turning 30 this year, his prime years are rapidly coming to a close. Barca may be happy to let go if they can get good money for him. And since he's not one of the Masia boys, the club can be ruthless. And honestly, if they bring in Sanchez, Fabergas and a top striker, they'll likely even be better, which is scary.
