Villa And Silva Ready To Sacrifice Themselves For The Club

Silva a replacement for Ronaldo(if he leaves)? It would give us an added dimension as he provides a variety of creativety from either flanks.

Vicente is a shadow of his former self, I can't see him getting many games next season. And I can definitely see him or/and Villa leaving this season so either way I doubt we'll be seeing Silva play 20+ games as a second striker.

Excellent player. But injured making it less likely.

David Silva has signed for Lyon according to sources in France, yes Lyon.

Strange move.

[Hellboy]17 · 9th July 2008, 20:25

Now some some radios are confirming it, others say it's a fake story.

I'd tend to trust the second scenario

Lyon will sell him in two years for twice the amount they pay now for him

Seriously this would be a surprise move, but I can see why we would go there. Champions League football and (national) titles guaranteed, they just sold Ben Arfa and may need a new winger as well.

Whats the fee? Wonder if it'll be enough to keep a hold of Villa. You wouldnt think Lyon are a side who will pay mega money...

Lyon were willing to pay £18m for Ribery last year only to see him go to Bayern Munich for money. They have plenty of money from their recent sales and a fee of £20m should not much of a problem for them.

Might not be the case in a few years though

Sign them or leave the club, Ferguson.

RAFA BENITEZ is ready to splash out a pot of gold to bring a dash of Silva to Anfield.

The Liverpool chief is eyeing Spain wideman David Silva after being priced out of a move for his Valencia team-mate David Villa.

The La Liga club want £32million for Spain’s four-goal Euro 2008 marksman Villa and at that price any transfer is dead in the water.

But Silva, 22, is available at around half that price and Benitez is keen to tie up a deal.

The Kop chief, who had three years in charge at the Mestalla, knows his old club need to sell because of the spiralling costs of building a new stadium.

But he is also aware that Valencia are determined to keep hold of Villa to appease fans who are already kicking up a storm at the prospect of losing their prize asset.

Former Valencia president Juan Soler, still the majority shareholder, is keen to sell the club and has placed a £65m price tag on it.

Yet Soler is also aware that losing the club’s crown jewels makes it a less attractive proposition for potential buyers.

And with Benitez also committing a huge chunk of his summer budget to land Aston Villa’s Gareth Barry, hitman Villa’s price almost certainly takes him beyond Liverpool’s reach.

New Valencia manager Unai Emery, at 36 the youngest boss in La Liga, has admitted the decision is out of his hands, but is desperate not to lose Villa, 26.
Villa also has an agreement which will see his wages rise to £75,000 a week —yet Silva is on less than half that figure, bringing him well within Liverpool’s pay structure.

And for all Benitez’ public claims of the Reds’ interest, he is one of the most guarded bosses in the game when it comes to revealing his targets and releasing Villa’s name is generally accepted as little more than a smokescreen.

He also has an ace up his sleeve in the shape of Liverpool chief scout Eduardo Macia, a close friend of Silva from his days working for Valencia.

Macia set the winger on the road to glory by arranging a loan move to Eibar when he was struggling to break into the first team.

That led to a subsequent spell with Celta Vigo, and on his return to Valencia he quickly established himself as a regular.

You forgot Dos Santos to Spurs

Henry says: "”Giovani has everything to be a success at Tottenham,” Henry told the Daily Express. “He has speed and can change the course of a game with his genius.

"He can in two, three or four years be one of the best players in the world if he wants.”

He said it alright, "he has the stuff to be a success at Spurs, not a big club like Barca sounds about right, no worries if he excels we'll buy him in a few years
