David Villa | Monday 'defining day' for Spurs: Villa signs for Atletico Madrid

Joan Laporta has revealed that Barcelona have made a bid of over €40 million for David Villa and would also like to make a move for Franck Ribery if Bayern Munich were willing to let him go.

The Blaugrana president stated that amid all the speculation surrounding the Catalan club that there had been some movement from them, but that nothing had been completed just yet.

Villa has openly admitted that he wants to go to Barcelona and now Laporta has explained that the club have approached Valencia with an official offer and are waiting for a reply.

"He's [Villa] a player we're interested in, and we made a good bid for him, closer to €40 million than €50 million," he told television programme 59 Segundos.

Balague Claims United Will Try To Sign Villa In Coming Days...

Manchester United have been following the situation very closely and they have told Villa`s representatives that, in the next day or so, they will make an offer for the player that will meet with the approval of both Valencia and the player. In order to satisfy Valencia, that would mean United are prepared to offer the Spanish club around €45 million, plus a salary package in the region of €8 million a year to the player.

David Villa has always insisted that he would like to remain in Spain and that he does not want to move abroad, that is, until now. However, for the second consecutive season, the player has seen his dream to move to one of the two top Spanish teams end in frustration, and it is plausible that his increasing frustration at his current situation could prompt him to abandon Spain and drive him toward the Premier League and into the hands of Manchester United.

Villa`s representatives have been told that Sir Alex Ferguson`s comments that United have ended their summer spending is nothing more than an attempt to avoid becoming distracted by a summer of speculation and is a strategy for dealing with an increasingly volatile transfer market - and that if the United manager is presented with an opportunity to sign a player of David Villa`s calibre, then he has both the resources and the desire to do so.

Salt being firmly pinched... :rolleyes:
 
Funny that because I seen Villa's missus in Savill's the estate agents in Wilmslow.
 
Would be a great signing, would replace Ronnie's goals

Hiya Devil, hope you're good pal.

Well, at the minute it's speculation on Ballbagues part - speculation I must say he gathered from my sources. There's lot's of rumours flying around at the minute, some of them very good if true. It's quite simple really, if we go for Villa we're also going to go for Robben - but not until we've enquired about Ribery availability again. SAF believes Ribery is reluctant to move to United simply because we don't seem as attractive as Madrid but if we aquire Villa we'll be quite simply as strong as ever.

So the actual transfer would cost upwards of £35 Million then Villa's wages would be around 145k a week, plus bonuses for trophies won. My 'Voice' at 'Camp C' believes anytime on monday between 11am and 2pm, the 'stretch'

They'd be floppy as anything. Interesting Owen said he believes he'll have 3 strike partners in an interview in Kuala Lumpor - MO7 ITK.

In an Ideal world that would be my tagline. Alas, I'm hated.

Too bad he can't have the No. 7 :(

He can have number 9, Berbatov wouldn't even notice.




Anyone else got a funny feeling about this one? Gill mentioned while we would be away he expected some work to do concerning players.
 
I don't get this link, we have 3 strikers plus potentials in Obertan and Diouf. Just can't understand why they keep linking us to him unless Rooney is going out wide again.

Because he is a world fecking class player, have no problem with signing him if it pushes Rooney out wide, because in the end atm Rooney is are best striker but I also think he is our best winger, since Ronaldo left. Rooney might not like it, but feck what helps Manchester United will be important than what wayne rooney wants

Sir Alex Ferguson said:
We weren't intending on signing anyone else after last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids.

So we had to decide whether we acted or didn't. We decided to act and he'll be the last person we sign.

Can't see us making any big name signings after a statement like this.
 
Hmm...A spokesperson from the Glazer family has announced we have £60 million immediately available for Sir Alex to spend as he wishes and that SAF is simply waiting for the moment. Now, if we were to spend £35-40 million on Villa, which is likely - that'll leave us the funds for a Robben/Young move. The truth is out there people.
