Shame we couldnt have worked something out with Alonso going the other way, oh well back to reality and supposedly its chelsea who have been putting in the leg work this past few years to be in contention, if only we had owners who gave a toss and a CEO as able as kenon, instead of coco i'll see ya 6 weeks the clown, hardly dynamic is he.

VILLA INTRESTED IN LIVERPOOL

:Oo:

by **HacksawJimDuggin** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 4:10 pm

This is a HUGE hint from Villa that he is genuinely interested in joining LFC.

This would be a GREAT signing for us as Villa and Torres have looked brilliant together in the euro's.

The key issue/concern is a) will we follow up this and make a move and b) can we afford Villa??

If the yanks are serious about making us a force in the premiership then he is the kind of player we should be looking to buy.

LFC players should be pouring honey in his ear and tapping him up on a daily basis while they have him nearby at the EURO's.

Villa wants to reign in Spain at Real Madrid or Barcelona and will snub £22m move to Chelsea

David Villa wants to stay in Spain and will snub a £22million move to Chelsea in favour of a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.

The Valencia striker has been in sensational form during Euro 2008 and scored a hat-trick in Spain's 4-1 opening win over Russia.

He also netted an injury-time winner in the 2-1 win over Sweden to take his tally to four goals as Luis Aragones' side booked a place in the quarter-finals.

Valencia insist that the expected bidding war for Euro 2008 top scorer David Villa has not yet started, and the Spanish club still hope to keep hold of their star man.

Villa has been the name on everybody’s lips in the group stage in Austria and Switzerland after scoring four goals in two games to help Spain qualify for the quarter finals.

His influential displays have done little to dampen speculation that a feeding frenzy could erupt after the conclusion of the finals as Europe’s biggest sides vie for his signature.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been linked with the Che star but Valencia technical secretary Juan Sanchez admits it is still all quiet on the Villa front.

"He's our player, he's under contract, and the coach is counting on him,” Sanchez told Marca. “We're very calm and we've received no offer for him."

Far from being resigned to Villa’s exit after a poor season for Valencia, club president Augustin Morera appears confident that he could yet stay at the Mestalla.

"He's an icon who so far has managed to score four goals in the European Championship, something which very few players in the history of football have managed,” said Morera.

"We should be proud that he plays for Valencia, enjoy it, and when we read the newspapers from Barcelona, Madrid and the rest of the world remember that he's our player.

"There are offers for Villa every season."

These quotes were made ages ago.

Next will be a 2.5 year old quote recycled about how he doesn't want to come to Liverpool because of 'the weather and not liking the Beatles'.

Scott mate you are filled with optimism

by **Sabre** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 3:00 pm

To be honest Villa might be one of those old Spaniards that aren't prepared to go abroad. As in, there's a kind of Spaniard who you know that he'll never speak two sentences in English, no matter he's there 20 years. My hunch is Villa is one of them

Do you have known any case in the premiership of a totally succesful player in terms of football but that never managed to adapt to the english language and english life? I'm curious about that.

According to Talk Sport Chelsea had approached him which he refused!
And Barca or Madrid are the only 2 teams he has any chance of choosing to go to.
LFC were not mentioned!

If it cheers you up, Clarin in Argentina, El Mundo Deportivo, Marca, El Mundo, El Pais, and other 7 newspapers bring the rumour about Rafa wanting Villa.

But... not a single quote and just speculation, mate.

I have no doubt Rafa would love Villa at LFC as would we all!And im confident Villa would choose us over any English club because of a Spanish manager and his mates are with us!
Unfortunately the money just is not there to make it happen.
Same shi'te every season,im sick of it!
