zocoss SG CHELSEA have been invited to make a bid for David Villa by Valencia president Juan Soler. But the Spanish club are set to hold out for £45million of Roman Abramovichs fortune. Blues boss Jose Mourinho wants Villa, 25, for his assault on the Champions League next season and Soler admits he is ready to open transfer talks for the Spain striker. He said: If offers that have been talked about exist I want to see them. And if theyre definite we can sit down in the summer. If I sell Villa it will be because they are willing to pay what we want for the player. If they dont pay then he is under contract for six years. Villa earns £55,000-a-week at Valencia but expects to double his wages at Stamford Bridge. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also tracking the ace and Liverpool sent chief scout Eduardo Macia to Valencia at the weekend for informal talks. Villas agent Jose Luis Tamargo said: David is happy at Valencia but like everyone he wants to improve. His transfer clause is £100m. Valencia wont sell for £40m but for £47m maybe they will.
anhydrouscoppersulphate SG hope villa wouldn’t ruin his future. and no matter who chelsea buys they still cant win the champs league
allentyb SG is he really worth 45 million pounds? he may be successful in spain, doesn't mean that he will be able to adjust to epl playing style
Bontakun SG (I still can't help it again... The pic, the topic... ) Ok back to topic. I think 45 mil pounds are abit too much for a guy untested in other leagues. Perhaps a lower price of 18 mil on sale and then a further 20 mil more on performance and incentives. See how he fare in EPL or other leagues.
used SG too expensive even for a striker like him. chelsea should just forget it. just bcos they can afford, doesnt mean they should buy
luisenrique21_barca SG Seriously they cannot be thinking that Villa’s pricing would somewhere near Zidane. Is Villa as good as Zidane?
iceFatboy SG well, if they buy Villa, they still got Shev, Drogba, Kalou, Crespo.. Someone will go, I think. Or I may underestimate Roman's wallet.
SumOne SG The two of them are not exactly creative players. Not saying they aren't good players, but they are not the type with the creative element.
SumOne SG Eh.... Fabregas at Arsenal leh. And even though Reyes is physically and emotionally not with Arsenal, he is contracted to Arsenal.
zocoss SG Ya he is different case... He went there when he was a young kid... Think Pool wasn't even interested on him then, he made his name at Arsenal... As for Reyes... we can see what happen, need we say more...
