KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool to launch massive bid for David Villa?

June - 24 - 2009
According to Spanish radio Liverpool have managed to find the funds to make a massive bid for David Villa of Valencia.

It has seemed to be a certainty that Villa would stay in Spain but the reporter on Valencia radio stated that David Villa’s head may have been turned by Fernando Torres and that while he still wants to stay in Spain the one club he would join outside Spain is Liverpool.

Liverpool’s finances have improved it appears and they are ready to test Valencia and David Villa with a very big offer, they are very serious by all accounts and feel confident that they stand a good chance of getting him.

In Marca today the battle lines are being drawn by Barcelona and Real Madrid and with Liverpool now entering the battle it is now purely down to the player and with Torres in Villa’s ear it may not be so far fetched that David Villa indeed becomes a Liverpool player

That would be a dream come true

certainly would! could do with a bit of positive news right now!

Would be awesome but if we're losing Alonso it would be tit for tat n let's not forget there were no problems with Torres n Gerrard's partnership last season.
Would like to think that a signing of this calibre would make Alonso stay but I just don't think we have the £. Well I can always dream..........

gossip from the Beeb - Real Madrid are interested in signing Lyon striker Karim Benzema, according to Marca sports daily. Benzema, who has been heavily linked with Manchester United, could be a fresh target for Real rather than Valencia's David Villa.

does this add more substance to Villa coming to us perhaps?

Gossip and nothing more - £40m was being banded about for Villa when Real/Barca/Chlesea/Man Utd were interested - we simpy can't afford that

probably not at £40 - but Villa has hinted that he would only play for us if he came to England so he'll either stay put at Valencia (which is another story that's been published) or go to either Barça or madrid... madrid are now rumoured to have changed their mind by going after Benzema and we are rumoured to have upped our interest in Villa.
If Barça don't want him and Valencia need to move him on for financial reasons then maybe we could be in for a chance?

Maybe Villa is this one BIG signing that every Red is talking about?

madrid were only willing to pay 30mill for him and we can afford to beat that - there is the money there for one big signing (no idea where it has come from but i would guess gillett's sale of his ice hockey team has summat to do with it) and villa is rafa's first choice ........ without parry to feck it up we actually have a chance of getting his first choice for a change too lol

Would you sacrifice Alonso for Villa?

I think I would as Villa would obviously play alongside Torres meaning Gerrard would have to drop back. This would mean choosing between Mascherano or Alonso unless Gerrard played on either of the wings.

Villa signing for Liverpool will be one of the most fantastic captures in our history.

The boy can do so much more than score goals. He is an excellent free kick taker and has a good work ethic. My only worry is that the english game will kick him out of form.
