Liverpool already tipped to return with new David Villa bid
03 September 2009
Liverpool are already been tipped to make a fresh attempt to sign Spanish ace David Villa during the January transfer window.
Ironically the summer window has only just slammed shut and the football journalists are already looking at potential new year moves.
Peter Lansley, The Times Football Writer, says: "I would not be at all surprised to see Liverpool make their move for David Villa.
"They still lack quality in depth up front, although if Rafa Benitez could snare Villa, to team up with his Spain team-mate Fernando Torres, this might require the manager to go to 4-4-2 and drop Steven Gerrard back into a more orthodox central-midfield role.
Sounds great but where exactly is the money going to come from under the present owners?
What do you think? Please leave a comment below.

I think Dunk has got a warped sense of humour for even posting this.

Lets deal in facts.

We haven't actually invested any money this transfer window in the team, as soon as you consider the income from who we've sold.

This is propaganda to keep the natives happy, I'm sure we'll be linked with loads of players for the next year, how many we'll actually sign is another matter....

No doubt of course lots of insider 'red herring' talk will keep us talking about anything apart from the real problem.

The ownership.

Of course, for the few Rafa haters, it aint going to do you any good either because the Americans cant afford to sack him now either. So there are some pluses!

i think we all know villa won't be coming unfortunately

Defo won't be coming

If he wanted then already done, not next window

I know it might not make much difference but we'll still get money from UEFA in the progressing stages of the CL, maybe just maybe we can use some of that money 2 buy players.

Can't see it myself. We have no money and as the Americans have showed, any money generated will go to pay off debts not on making us a stronger more successful team.

What has Kennydcruz have to say on this matter? According to him he would be an LFC player this week!

If the yanks let us spend any money in January it would be no more than 6/7M, the sort of figure we signed Agger and Skrtel for in previous January windows. So I don't see a move for Villa in January, but when we get rid of Babel next summer we might see something happen.

won't happen with yanks as owners, and definitely not in january. Can see us signing someone who needs to play regulary too get to the world cup, like VdV for example....

The papers are probably just making this up to put something out there. After all its always quiet when we have an international break.
