How much would David Villa cost?

[Ombudsam]

I very rarely say break the bank for anyone but from the first time I saw this lad for Zaragoza he looked a bit special. Apparently he's fallen out with the Valencia (who for some reason always reminds me of Mourinho). I think he's a guarantee of goals, is really skilful, quick and can get assists as well. He'd be awesome with Kuyt/Crouch. Valencia look like they are gonna be good this season and for a while yet so maybe he wouldn't come but who knows

Serious ice cream

[Guest Kev]

I would like him at Anfield.

[McBain]

He turned down the chance to come here before he joined Valencia

 

Cant see why that would change. Even if we did have £30m

[kop205]

Won't come. Says he doesn't like The Beatles. (That was him, wasn't it?)

[Guest Kev]

Neither do I.

[Leo No.8]

If he doesn't like The Beatles I don't want him at Anfield.

 

No seriously, he's one of the best centre-forwards in Europe at present and any of the top clubs would want him. He's technically fantastic, a great finisher and has a brilliant football brain (I don't think he is that quick, his yard is in his head like Robbie in his heyday).

 

Having recently signed a new contract he's way out of our price range fall-out or not though, they'd certainly want a fee of £20m+. I'd rather he stayed there in all honesty, because if he does decide he'll move to England Manchester United will be in the market and they'll have the kind of money he'd command, having saved £18m when they tried to buy Hargreaves and failed and shifted Smith out on loan.

 

I'll only start worrying though if I hear he's got a few Oasis albums...

Does Villa have a pool and views?

Stick to rumours, your jokes are awful

Don't think it's a big fall out.

 

He just got told off for being overly aggressive in training, and hurting a couple reserve players with wild tackles

 

PLUS, Quique Sanchez Flores would get the boot before Villa would leave Valencia. Villa is far more of a valuable asset to them and I doubt he's leaving Spain anytime soon.

we dont need that many players we could get him for that. like i've said and you and benitez (poster) have said. for a variety of reasons it looks unlikely

[Guest Anders Honoré]

definitely a player we missed out on. damn you, rafa!

[Benitez]

If only he hadn't bought that useless lump Cisse Know nothing fool!

[KD07]

It's just like playing Footie Manager with Joaquin and Vicente and Villa in the team.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Valencia have been putting together a very solid spanish side, it has to be said.

 

Canizares, Del Horno, Marchena, Joaquin, Albelda, Baraja, Vicente, Villa and Morientes is a very solid core.

[Benitez]

They do have a really good squad. Although they have some injuries troubles now, but Baraja and Vicente are back.

 

Don't think the fans are falling for that as an excuse tho when they can only manage a tame 1-1 draw last night at home v's Bilbao.

I don't think us not getting him was down to Rafa - he wanted Villa, but the lad himself didn't want to come to England.

 

In all honesty I didn't know much about him at the time, but I remember a good few posters coming out with 'David Villa, who's he? Don't want to sign him he's a no-mark' type comments...

 

[Rich Gobey]

If Rafa wanted to sign me to play for Liverpool I think I'd come.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

what if he wanted you to sign for Zaragoza?

[Rich Gobey]

what if he wanted you to sign for Zaragoza?

 

I'd go limp.

[KD07]

I'd go limp.

 

What, and then sign for Wigan?
