David VILLA to Villa - It's THAT time of year ...

[JUAN PABLO]

I want some of that sangria , that reporter is drinking ........

[Phil from the upper holte]

They probably trying to sell papers, villa to villa probably link his name to the club.

Might improve the gate and shirt sales, he wouldn't score we'd hoof it over his head

[JUAN PABLO]

I was suprised he was 30 .

f**k him , too old 

[cdbearsfan]

Can he play right b...

Nah, can't be arsed.

I like the " his fate seem to be set for one of the great English clubs mainly Chlesea, Liverpool and Aston Villa" Only one thing wrong there Chelsea are not a great english club.

Loan deal to AV  is a possibility as Barca will not want him to go to a CL rival club.

ITSOTP :-)

He'll be off to Manchester then.

On the mail forum a chap reckons that the paper responsible for the story is based in Madrid and they put these articles in to wind up Barca.
My lad reckons that if Bent goes it's going to take a signing like this to appease the fans.
Can't see either happening, but, it is nice to be mentioned with players like that.

I know its not going to happen but just the image of a guy used to playing with some of the finest footballers to ever grace the game, standing there with his hands on his hips as James Collins hoofs the ball 40 yards over his head has given me a little smile.

[timeoutbigbar]

Off to get the shirt then.  Our number 7 possibly on his way too?  Coincidence, I think not!

[Lobsterboy]

Apparently he has always wanted to work with McLeish so I reckon it's a done deal...

[pauliewalnuts]

It does make some sense.

He's getting on a bit, entering the later years of his career, will probably fancy slowing down the pace somewhat. He'll have heard about Darren Bent's 24 touches on average per game and thought "yeah, that sounds like the kind of easy earner I fancy"

From Madrid? It's practically Real's fanzine!

[Dave]

We have a transfer thread for daft stories that aren't going to happen.

[Legion]

He's broken his leg
