Villa decision made
In-demand Valencia striker David Villa has stated that he has already made a decision on where his future lies.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are leading the chase for the Spanish striker, who is also reportedly wanted by Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Villa has previously stated his desire to remain in Spain and after scoring the winner in his country's 1-0 Confederations Cup win over Iraq, he revealed that he had already decided where his future lies.

Valencia do not want to sell, but their precarious financial position means a transfer seems inevitable.

"I have made my decision," Villa told the press following the game in Bloemfontein after again being quizzed about his future.

"My agent knows my wishes, and he is now working on that - so I am relaxed.

"There is no deadline on the subject, and I really do not have any more details as this whole thing is not totally dependent on me."

4.Rafa to replace Houllier
5.Parry to leave.
6.Moores to sell to Hicks and Gillett.
7.Elvis is alive

£45 mil for mash i think we would have to take and yes put it towards villa ( god if that is true yippee ) a bit of noise being made about us going for that standard liega player as a replacment??

as for doss we he is going to want to stay picking up a nice little packet every week for sitting on his as*

think good thought, think good thought, think good thought, think good thought

It says on sportinglife.com that allegedly Villa has said he would prefer to stay in Spain. Though naturally no real details on what he exactly has or has not said.

Would be overjoyed if we got him but personally can't see him coming to us, would be talking around £50 million for him surely.

Yes he did he said Madrid. (according to Marca anyway)

Regarding this Masch thing the source of it seems to be his wife and family not settled in Liverpool. If that is the case then is there any hope of keeping him?

by **Ace Ventura** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:40 am

I think it seems obvious that he would prefer to go to Barca or Real after what he has said previously.
Also Barca are current european champions and play some great football.
Real have signed some of the biggest names in football.

Unless he fancies moving countries -which he previously stated he didnt then i cant see us even being in the running.

Then there's the fee - where would we have that much money from ?

by **tubby** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:51 am

To be honest even if we did fork out 40Mil for him id say it was a waste. He is what 28? We should concentrate on just Silva. If Barca want Masch then we need to rinse them for Bojan plus a lot of cash.

Rafael Benitez to fight off Barcelona bid to sign Pepe Reina - Liverpool FC latest

LIVERPOOL manager Rafa Benitez is getting ready to fight off a new round of unwanted advances from Barcelona – this time for goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Barely a week after Benitez issued a robust hands off warning over midfielder Javier Mascherano, the Catalan club is being linked with a summer swoop for goalkeeper Reina.

Spanish publication El Mundo Deportivo claim that Reina may favour a return to La Liga after four years at Anfield.

The story surfaced after Barcelona’s current keeper, Victor Valdes – whose contract has only a year to run – reportedly demanded wage parity with Xavi Hernandez and a deal worth £150,000 a week. Nou Camp officials are unwilling to budge from an initial offer of £100,000 a week, and Valdes was immediately linked with a move Manchester United.

The promising but inexperienced Sergio Asenjo, 19, is Barca’s back-up keeper, but a Reina return to Catalunya would be appealing in Spain.

Reina rose through the Barca ranks and made 30 first team appearances before leaving to join Villarreal in 2002.

Reina, however, has only recently spoken of his happiness at Anfield.

“I am only 26 so still have a pretty long way to go. Hopefully that will be with Liverpool,” he said.

A regular winner of the Premier League’s Barclays Golden Glove prize, he missed out by one shut-out last season to Manchester United’s Edwin van der Sar, the first time in his Anfield career he has not carried off the clean sheet award.

“It would have been nice, but it wasn’t to be,” he explained.

“It makes me happy that people cannot remember too many big mistakes I have made. I was personally unhappy with myself in the Champions League quarter-final at Chelsea. I shouldn’t have been beaten at the front post like that.

“But apart from that and the penalty at Old Trafford, I can’t think of many other games where I was really unhappy with my performance last season.”

Reina insists he has unfinished business at Anfield, with the Premier League title still his major priority next season.

“I had a little challenge going with Petr Cech last season where we’d see who could concede the least goals,” he explained.

“Despite our club rivalries we’re both in the goalkeepers’ union.

“We’d sent text messages to each other about the clean sheets as well. But I told him I would swap all of my clean sheets for his league titles. “All we want here at Liverpool is to win the Premier League. I’d prefer to win every game 3-2 if it meant we won the title at the end of the season.”

Meanwhile Juventus have yet to make a decision on whether to sign Liverpool left-back Andrea Dossena, according to the player’s agent.

The Italy international has been linked with a return to Serie A this summer after just one season in the Premier League.

Juve have reportedly expressed an interest in acquiring the 27-year-old but no offer has been made. Dossena’s agent Roberto La Florio said: “At the moment, there are no updates. The Bianconeri club (Juventus) have yet to decide whether to consider my client or (Lyon’s) Fabio Grosso.

“If they decide to target my client then we would evaluate the offer.

“He (Dossena) is happy at Liverpool but Juventus is Juventus, and he’s a little nostalgic for Italy.”
