David Villa?

[RiffHard]

There are reports that Spurs could be interested in David Villa. Yes, he is 31 and had a bad injury recently, but I feel his record speaks for itself. I feel he could do a very good job for us and maybe a new start is what he needs. Any thoughts?

I would think after all the comments about Harry recycling older players, there might be some adverse comments, we shall see. Personally I would say no, buy someone younger, someone who will play for the Club hopefully for 4-5 yrs, not 1 or 2.

Too Old.

Past he best, I would be disappointed if we brought him in regardless of the transfer fee his wages would be hefty and he really isnt worth it now IMO!

[Yiddite]

No.
Need a younger prospect.

Zoltan "Thingy" is doing briliant at PSG at the tender age of 31, but this could be an exeption.

David Villa's recent injury could be a psycological problem in getting back to full fitness as it often happens to seriously injured players.

Small guy, good pace, talented, massive experience.  I would give him a go!

I'm not so sure about Villa either, I would like to see his countryman Llorente (27) with us. But, for some reason I tend to believe Villa will end up in a good club and score quite a few goals.

Maybe a few season ago, wages are very high too.

Older players can fill the gap of injured players. I read that United were interested in the Chelsea duo (Terry & Cole). For the same reasons.

Too old we would be better off with ..... say Van der Vaart !!!!!

I can't really see anyone, Man U included, paying messrs Terry Cole and Lampard 100k + a week to fill the gaps. But then, maybe I am out of touch with reality, and if they are prepared to do so, what chance do we have of aquiring the players we want for our likely 100 K absolute max ??
