No, but the person at the club whose toes are getting trampled on by the arrival of Baldini might have an axe to grind ?

So based on Villa's record at Barca last season against the teams in La Liga how many goals would we expect from him next season in the Premiership?
5-10
11-15
16-20
21+
Which one of these would justify the wages he'll undoubtedly expect?
Is he the best we can get?
I would hope these are the sort of questions being asked by the club.

Yeah, memory issues, that's just A&C switching the server on and off to get more donations.
Very worthy donations too I might add

I don't think anyone doubts his class. But he is 31 and coming off a leg break and cruciate - I guess that is where people have their doubts. Personally I think with only one leg he'd be better than Defoe.

I know he's thought of as Satan, but Vickery said on Talkshite that Inter had hopes to add an extra zero to Leandro's fee if he had a good Confederations cup. However, he's injured (what again [my insertion]?), and one they're panicking. So maybe Danny isn't so stupid.

Are you privy to how much Sandro being here had an impact on Paulinho? Sandro is a better player than Gustavo and if Paulinho gets a full season playing next to Sandro at a high level, I'd imagine it's got to be very appealing with this being a World Cup year.

"dubiety". I had to check if there really is such a word. There is! Well done indeed.

Have to agree with the minority, I would be underwhelmed with Villa.
Whilst I agree his pedigree is top notch, stylistically I just don't see him fitting into the central striker role. In one of the wider roles, maybe, but seems a waste of him out there, square peg/round hole etc...
I actually feel he was, rather than is, a world class striker, but is on the downslope. Now, yes, we are not in the position to be going out signing World Class players in their prime, but I'd rather sign someone on the way up than the way down.
It is this last point that makes me doubtful Levy would sanction the sort of outlay on fees and wages required, knowing he's getting a player who will be 32 before the year is out.
The caveat to this is, if AVB decides he's the man to complete out strike force, I'll support Villa totally. He just wouldn't be my first choice.
I had a quick nose at Baldini's dealings over the last season or so, and he does seem find on the South American market.

What is wrong with you people. You do not neg-rep a legend. He was talking to me and I listened.
This man gave you Dave and Fazza's absolute meltdown. You treat him as what he is.....one of the Gods of SC.
Now please remove your neg reps.
Sorry Ever. Carry on mate.
And lest you think this is sarcastic, Ever is up there with A&C and Houdini and Stoof and RSS and all of the other funny guys that have molded this into not only a great Spurs site but a great site period. They are the reason this board not only exists but is the best thing on the internet. I learned from them. And when they tell me to "fuck off", I fuck off fast.

Perhaps it's all a Baldric-like cunning ploy. We really want Fred ( the young midfielder, not the other one) in two years time.Seems to me that we've been trying to buy Damiao for three years and now that Internacionale have indicated they will sell we've started negotiating by saying too late not sure we want him now.
We start bidding low next summer. The Inter president panics, and immediately agrees - having been stung by completely missing out on the Leandro's sale.

They actually hoped his value would go from about 15-20m to 150-200m during the Condederations Cup, did they ? Mad as a box of snakes I tell you !
