David Villa signs for Atletico Madrid

[Spursking]

I class player, but wouldn't be overly excited by this signing. It is a deal almost anyone can do. No skill behind it. Transfer business is skill.

 

[Mouse!]

Wish all the players we're linked with would stop driving up their prices in this tournament!

would be funny to have Barca try to add a couple €M on the basis of scoring 2 (to 5) goals against Tahiti

He wants to come to the pl and wants to play, so it seems its us or le arse according to English press

I'm sure he'd consider offers from both Germany and Italy too - has there been any direct quotes from him expressing a desire to only play in England? or is it speculation from spurios sources like Goal.com?

 

[matthew.absurdum]

If Arsenal signs Higuain, I think they will not go for Villa. It becomes easier for us to buy him

 

[wakey99999]

Thought it had been said that his missus has got a job with bbc in London hence why us and arse are favourites to him

Jason Burt has said that he's enthusiastic about playing for Spurs directly, the big question seems to be whether the club can come to a reasonable agreement with Barcelona for the fee and Villa for a wage package.

I think you misunderstood the meaning of this. What I mean is, selecting a transfer target like David Villa is no skill. Getting the deal done, is another thing. Not anyone can do that. Not my preferred striker signing.

Bale + Villa would be titillating... Mmmm

What is Jason Burt's relationship with Viilla to have the inside track on what the player is thinking and enthusiactic about? (not being sarcastic I just don't know anything about Burt or why would he says would be considered credible in respect to Villa's personal thoughts on moving to us)

 

[ajspurs]

The fact that he seemingly plays on the left of a front 3 now more than not is quite significant. If we were able to set up with him on the left, Bale on the right and just for namesake Leandro leading the attack it would be awesome.

Villa hat-trick.

I believe Jason Burt is close with AVB, so maybe AVB has told him Villa has said he is interested in us.

NO arguing. Not time for that. Football is fun. Football is skill. Football is passion.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Football is of an African persuasion.

Well...

I was just kidding around... is there time for that?

this, AVB is telling Burt that he's convinced Villa, presumably

No not at all - football is as serious as a German sausage. Remember - we have Freund along in the dressing room to make sure everything is "Alles klar" for the next season.
