David Villa has been in poor form this term, after missing the majority of last season with a broken leg.

I think Villa would be a good option in january, if its not realistic to get Falcao/Cavani. Looking at our recent transfer policy I would be surprised if we signed him though since he is already 30, if we do buy him its obviously only a stop gap bandage signing to lead the line for 2-4 years max until Lukraken comes back from loans and all that.

A villa loan deal would be ideal.

Arsenal is looking after Dzeko and Cavani, City after Falcao, ManU after Lewandowski and we will go after Villa? Great...

Im not saying he is not good, but there will be absolutely no aerial threat in our team. Fuck.

Arsenal is looking after Dzeko and Cavani

Man city wont sell dzeko to arsenal and cavani's price tag is 40m and wenger would rather die then signing someone for more then 20m.

Well Arsenal is arsenal, but in finances they still can afford even 50mio IF they want. Fans will go crazy Im sure and you saw they bought Podolski, Cazorla; different from the past when they were buying only young talents for cheap.

I have some feeling they will try to bring very good striker this january, for some reason...

Well they might sign a good striker like huntelaar or Llorente but no way in hell they will pay 40m for cavani and that too in january.

Linked to Liverpool recently for 10M.

Even at 31, he would be a decent option at that price.

Haha some people will be really happy with that. I have softened my stance on him, because i can't think of many other options in January.

Barcelona did say recently he won't be leaving though, but he could always force a move if he's that unhappy.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I would love Villa, he would be a very good option for 1.5 year!

It makes us not desperate for a striker...

[Jase 43,479]

Personally, I would prefer us getting him on loan especially the possibility of paying high wages if we were to buy him. Short term wise, he can be a solution till next summer at the very least. Long term wise though, it could be an issue. No doubt he's still a quality player but I'm just not 100% certain if he's still as quality as before though he might be better and more consistent than Torres at the moment.

Arguably, would prefer to us getting a younger ST who is approaching their peak to replace Torres especially that he isn't getting any younger either. Already 28 and wouldn't want to have 2 over 30s strikers with no resale value. Get that younger ST and have Lukaku with possibly another ST would be ideal for the future.

True but Benitez might be using his Spanish connections to try and get him.
