Carlo is the manager, he wants Pato, he has told Roman he wants Pato, he has told Kenyon he wants Pato, he has told JT who has told Roman to get Pato, hell he has probably told the local kebab house he wants Pato.

You're grossly misinformed about David Villa. The guy's a very humble and private person who's stayed at a club in disastrous financial circumstances to try and help them out. He's also a wonderful player but apparently Madrid are set to buy him for 37M.

agreed. and he is quite probably the most gifted finisher in the world

It isn't? I thought you just walk into the Milan Shop close by San Siro, take what you want and pay at the counter. Most credit cards accepted. Although the lady at the counter doesn't speak english..

Madrid will be scary good next year if Villa joins them there

Madrid will be scary good next year if Villa joins them there

Their defence is still embarrassingly bad. Barca will still show them how it's done.

i hope we will met real next seasone

we have essien for kaka

we have a.cole for ronaldo

we have terry for villa

hahah ;)

hope we will sign any player

every madrid game will finish about 8-6 minimum if they dont sort that defence out.

Brandinho is right. Villa is anything but a "snakey Spanish prick". He is industrious on the field and loyal off it, I can see that without knowing a thing about his personal life. Those are two qualities I WANT in a player, even if I dont think its a wise investment to buy him.

If we are presented two options

A. Spending 45 million on an admittedly brilliant Pato, lining the coffers of a club that have merked us many times in the past run by a hierarchy that is tighter than a duck's butt

OR

B. Spreading that money around among other, less accomplished young players who can be had, i.e. Zhirkov, Dzeko, Pandev, etc etc etc to improve the team overall

then I take option B. There are other brilliant players in the world besides Pato. We dont have to be held hostage, and we cannot afford to come in all guns blazing like Madrid

If Roman and company felt that getting Pato was as simple as giving them X amount that is somewhat reasonable, it would have already been done, imo

What would it cost to buy Pato out of his contract.

I dunno but let's break the new transfer record

Not let Real hog all the news

Only players worth paying over £80m for are Iniesta and Messi.

I am still trying to work out what is wrong with being Spanish - after all Ferrer was a nice fella!

Oh and Villa is also a fine striker.

And not every Spaniard is a mealy-mouthed, bullsh*tting lardy-arsed Spanish (ok ok, every Spaniard is Spanish) gay icon with a dodgy beard.

In the end, option B turns out to be more expensive than A. How many strikers we've bought since Roman came? If we had spent 50 million on Villa back then, we would have actually saved a lot of money.

For all we know we are not even in for Pato, press make up stupid things and players react. We are a world class club and i expect us to have sorted our transfer targets already. If it's pato, aguero or someone we haven't been linked with, we just have to hope it's done as soon as possible.

Villa looks every day that it's not going to happen as he wants to stay in spain due to family reasons and you have to respect that decision. Pato, in my opinion he's heared what the press have made up and he is tempted by what they have said. I don't think we have even enquired about Pato. Aguero looks like we may have but nobody knows anything until it's official, Chelsea haven't come about saying we have made a bid for someone, until then i won't believe it. If we deny a bid for someone like we did Kaka, it shows the press 90% of the time get it wrong.

Let's just hope we get this sorted as soon as possible

Players in for me

Pato/Aguero ( would be hilarious if we got both )

VDV ( bargain of the season if we picked him up for a couple of million )

Ashley Young ( I have a new found liking to this guy )

And as for the poster saying Villa is a sneaky spanish blah, i have to disagree completely. The biggest clubs in the world of come in for this guy and he's rejected the chance to play for them cause he wanted to be loyal to Valencia. If Valencia wern't in such a financial mess Villa would be staying and you have to respect that. Villa is only moving to Madrid because it's his only spanish option.

Disagree completely, look at our current midfield/attack:

Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Essien, Malouda,

Drogba.

Even with that current lineup, we still have players like Ballack and Anelka out of the starting eleven, who are both brilliant players, and the younger players like Stoch, Cork and Mancienne will also miss out.

With that in mind, we only need to make a move for players if they're absolute genuine world class, ie. the players you mentioned - Aguero, Pato, Benzema, Ribery... I'm really not sure buying any sort of player that isn't up to their standard (Adebayor, Ashley Young etc) will do us any good at all.

I am still trying to work out what is wrong with being Spanish

Does this answer your question??

The Spanish are just southern French......right?

Still would not want the guy at the bridge, he doesnt fit and for the price they are asking it is silly to even talk about him coming.

Pato is the best option, do not faff around and get the guy.

David Villa would be awesome in any team, no doubt about it. The price for a 27 year is quoted to be pretty high indeed but for arguably the best striker in the world at the moment? Look at Kaka, 60 million spent on him and he's the same age as villa well there is months between it and Villa is just as effective on the pitch than Kaka.

Would i want Aguero or Pato? Yes i'll be over the moon. Would i want us to sign David Villa for 38 million? I would love too. The only reason that people are worried about signing a player that is around the age well 2 years younger than Sheva. Just because Sheva was uncomfortable at Chelsea it doesn't mean Villa will be.

I think Villa would be good, but he'd take time to settle, and then he wouldn't have a great deal of time left at his best level whilst playing for us.

I don't think he'd be worth the money.
