How about loan deal for him till the summer.Then in the summer we can sign falcao or cavani.

So unrealistic.

[Ollie 4,400]

Three goals in in each of his last three games.

8 shots in La Liga this season with 7 on target.

Of the 7 on target shots he has scored from five of them.

And he has been played out wide.

In Australia we call that clinical.

All from the left wing too. Bout time he was used as a striker again. Also being Spanish he'd be great for us. Had a great partnership once with Torres too but i'd rather see him replace Torres instead of playing with him.

Totally forgot about Villa - what a great shout, yes he's getting on a bit but we need someone with a decent touch in and around the box/someone to finish the chances we are creating.

Are you crazy or just stupid. "We need someone with a decent touch in and around the box/someone to finish the chances we are creating." DAVID VILLA MATE, DAVID FUCKING VILLA. Brilliant close control, brilliant finisher, not good enough or something?

@RyanDavidson lol wtf, he's praising Villa, your comprehension failing you

[Ollie 4,400]

He didn't say he was shit lol, maybe you misread the quote. He said forgot not forget.

[DH1988 1,347]

My my my, someone needs to pay more attention when reading posts.

+5 Internets for you my man!

Anyway, to clarify, I'm FOR the idea of getting Villa.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

He was engineered to play in our system. I mean, my god he is perfect. Its a shame he's the age he is. For a decent fee though, worth it. Super unrealistic though.

I dont know guys, didnt he have a falling out with messi and/or tito??? might be able to get him on loan or for a decent price, he might be abit on the old side but by the time hes done Lukaku should hopefully be ready to step up to lead our line.

[Ollie 4,400]

He's on the old side but he's not old. We only need him for 18 months, not 5 years.

[vergil_sparda 26]

please messi.

fight with villa too like you did wtih ibra and sell villa to us ..dream signing!

villa would be perfect and our attack would be unbelievable!

Sometime you have to mix in the old with the new. Look at Arsenal's project from a decade years ago, they sold all their experienced veterans and replaced them with boys. They played good football but they were weak mentally and lacked leadership and experience. I'd hate for Chelsea to turn into that team; the most talented group of players in the league but are too hot and cold to mount any title challenges. Some of you might think "Shut the fuck up, Spike. We aren't those Gooner fucks" but if the club isn't careful it could do that unfortunate road.

Don't forget that one Italian player (I forget his name...) was signed when he was 30. I think he was voted Chelsea's greatest ever player...but everything gets lost in time...maybe this guy didn't even exist in the first place.

I believe he'd have the impact Van Persie is having with Manchester United at the moment to be honest!

But come on guys, really? Why would Barcelona sell? Who would they buy as his replacement?

Aside from Villa, unless you count Messi, I believe they don't have a single striker in their squad.

I mean obviously if we put in an outrageous bid they couldn't refuse they would probably sell, but there's no way we'd be getting him on a good deal despite his age etc.

Barcelona have splashed out on Alex Song and Fabregas over the last few seasons, and for them, that isn't actually cheap.

They'd have so little to gain from selling us Villa - unless it got them around £30mil or so.

His contract expires at the end of next season (I think...don't quote me on that) and I read somewhere that the board came to the conclusion that Villa is expendable. Of course expendable does not equate to transfer listed but I'm just a hopeful bastard rambling to make himself feel better.

He costed them quite a lot and has large wages, they could be looking to recoup some of that and focus on youth prospects like Cuenca and Tello.

Yep he signed a 4 year contract in 2010. So his contract ends at the end of next season. I doubt they'll resign him and his resale value is higher right now that it will be.
