Beepu 1,714 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 More webistes are linking Villa to Chelseahttp://www.faniq.com...illa-Blog-57700http://hereisthecity...lla-in-january/http://www.marca.com...1352453146.htmlWho knows...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.

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 A villa loan deal would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 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.

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 893 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Linked to Liverpool recently for 10M. Even at 31, he would be a decent option at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 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 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I would love Villa, he would be a very good option for 1.5 year!It makes us not desperate for a striker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 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.Barcelona did say recently he won't be leaving though, but he could always force a move if he's that unhappy.True but Benitez might be using his Spanish connections to try and get him.

Bacika 188 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I would love to have him...I wish we bought him 5 years ago...but he can be useful to us a lot... He is still quality player, not like before, but great goalscorer... Loan with option to buy is great. So in period of 2 years Lukaku could be our first striker...
