Ok, my observations on Villa and his comments.

The fee we agreed with Barca has NOTHING to do with Villa. His comments are about his personal terms and the like.

He is allowed to make any decision he wants, for any reason he cares to give (or not give).

Athletico could offer him stuff we couldn't (stay in Spain, CL footy), just like we could offer him stuff they couldn't(new challenge, team on the up, best fans).

He chose them. I've moved on.

Don't know why everyone is in a hizzy fit over this. Villa clearly preferred to stay in Spain. The media are just trying to make out that it was because we were fucking about. It wasn't, the guy wanted to stay in Spain.

Nothing to see here, lets just move on for the love of God.

i just think move all David Villa talk to his thread.

No ITK on david villa so this chat doesnt belong in here. its maddening how simple this rule should be to follow and how weve had 4 pages just blatantly ignoring it.

Trying attach blame to X, Y or Z for every failed transfer, over priced signing, or players that just choose to move to a club that isn't THFC is boring beyond belief and slightly childish IMO.

P.s. I'm neither a BSoDL or an anti levyite. I'm in my own pro spurs militant movement.

So there.

An ITK discussion thread with no iTK. This is going to go well.



Anyway, I have changed direction and realised that Benteke is going to come to us and be our Drogba and instantly make us title challengers. This almost certainly means that Levy will fuck it up by playing games over the money and another club will just make it as simple as it needs to be and sign him.

I was certain Villa would sign for us - Sky sources said he would.

And don't diss Sky sources, it's because of them that I now know Rooney's state of mind.

Im sure llm may add to this but he actually called this way before on the 606 boards so the three day quote is bollox, theyve been in touch for weeks if not months. You can still see the post on there if you wish.

I suggest a name change:

What a surprise. Player joins a club and talks it up and how fantastic they are/made a fantastic offer blah blah blah.

Agreed. He moved there because of CL and the chance to stay in Spain. Not because of our "lack of funds"

I don't think we quite agree because I don't think AM moved quicker (or showed more interest). He isn't saying they were the fastest club to put an acceptable offer together, he is saying a prem club (presumably us) had an acceptable offer on the table but a preferable one came in from AM. He says the preference came from footballing reasons, but he would say that so we'll probably never know on that score. I believe him though - AM are a decent team with CL football.

im sorry - i just dont understand this logic. Villa are selling a player for an inflated price - if we aren't getting good value for our money i.e. VILLA are asking for more than what the players VALUE to us is then it is a sensible decision to not purchase him. Levy is not the only person to play games with money and the insinuation everything will be his fault is inaccurate.

If Villa wont accept a bid from us that is reasonable and represents good value for our club then i dont want to buy him and i will not be blaming Levy for making a sensible, well thought out, calculated decision.
