Rafa has ruled out buying Villa but then with rafa you'll never know, he can say one thing and do another. With the sale of Arbeloa and Leto, and the likely sales of Alonso and Dossena we would have more than 40m to splash. Rafa could choose either to replace Alonso with Aquilani and then bring in Silva as well, or drop down Gerrard to CM and splash the cash on Villa to partner Torres upfront.
