David Villa

shevchenko part 2, at least with aguero he's young so if he fails to make an impact he has plenty of time.. villa's just like sheva, he would have to make an instant impact and even then he's too old.

i really dont see how 27 is too old? If im not mistaken Anelka was 27 when we signed him?

yes, and he knows the premiership like the back of his hand!

villa will be 28 before you know it, and he isn't a premiership expert like anelka who's played for pretty much everyone now, we already have old strikers we dont need any more.

Well generally after 27 you turn 28 but he might as well be 24 and he would still be too old for you, fact is he is proven quality in a world class league and has consistently performed for a very mediocre side for the past few seasons, let alone his goal scoring record for spain. Fact is that this man is one of if the the best stiker in the world at the moment and will score goals where ever he goes, id rather spend 30 million on a player of proven quality and ability than one that is simply an exciting prospect ie: Aguero or Benzema, not every 30 million plus sriker needs to be compared to Shevchenko and to be honest im actually quite tired of hearing about it

35 million for 28 yr old(next season he will be 28) is waste. Nuff said.

[crazy1 24]

rather we should spend money on dzagoev(10m), rodallega(10m) or romelu lukaku(5 to 7m), zarate(15m)

I dont think so, he will a few good years in him, and the publicity, marketing potential and shirt sales revenue will largely make up some of the fee, I would rather we sign him than leave him to Man Utd

[Term-X 7,891]

he's not a big star like sheva was... Aguero is a bigger star than villa, especially considering diego maradonna is also his father in law and aguero is much younger too so like i was saying more time for him if he doesn't make an instant impact.

shirts sales, marketing potential ..oh please! you could say that about any big striker in the world, sheva's signing was bigger because he was from 'AC Milan' i mean god dammit milan's best player came to Chelsea!.. it was a moment in history.

and villa has a better record than benzema & aguero because he isolder, so in that case we may as well sign up pele and a few from yourlocal retirement home.

Nicolas Anelka came in when he was 28. At 29 he had his best season with us, 30 he is playing well and we are already looking for a player to replace him next season. So thats 2 yrs. Why pay 35 million for someone like that who would give 2 yrs to us after which we would start looking for a new player to replace him. No sense there.

Id rather pay those 35 million to Aguero.

Too add on to what you where saying, anelka was already a proven striker in the epl. If we are going to bring in someone like Villa, how long is it going to take him to adapt to the more physical football? Aguero has the time to this as he is alot younger.

[Blueboy 14]

If we bring in one of these players, i really, really hope that they aren't gonna be like Sheva when he joined us :/. Was really a waste of many actualy. Problem with this kind of players mostly is how they adapt. Sheva was because of the different playing-style and much higher pace of the game.

How many spaniards at a big club have succeeded in the PL? Only players i can think of are Fabregas, Xabi Alonso and Torres (correct me if i'm wrong...). I wonder how Aguëro or Villa would play against teams like Bolton or Sunderland. And especially what's left of them after they got kicked the f*ck out of them by their butcher defenses xD.

No no no villa is fucking 28 he is too old for us, we need fresh talent not a player who gave his best years to valencia. We need a player that is around 23 years of age someone we can have for 10 years.
