    £27m-£33m is hardly out of the realms of possibility. It's what yous lot paid for Rooney, Veron, Rio et al.

    Maybe, though Rio and Rooney were almost guarenteed for what we needed.

    Villa would fit in the Veron mould, amazing player but will he adjust and will Rafa want to spend that much knowing it will be a massive gamble.

    If Villa can be had for 35m. euro we should be in with an offer.

    As Zen said though it isn't out of the realms of possibility. Its all about how much money Valencia would accept. Because the way I look at it - I think Villa is very tempted by Liverpool. He has friends their, would receive a higher wage and it would be a new challenge. I hope what ever is best for Valencia happens. I would say if over 30 million is offered - it would be best to sell. Otherwise - I would keep him.

    I'd give them the extra £3m just to take Cisse off our books aswell Ale

    He'd be a quality replacement. I don't think there's a more perfect match for Villa in terms of guile and work rate than our Djibril.

    Not the slightest. All Hicks has said is "If Rawfar comes to us with a player, we'll see what we can do and try to sign him if we think it's feesable. Y'all."

    Because Valencia doesn't have to sell unless it is in our interests to do so. We are not going to give him away just because Liverpool want him. It has to be in our interests to sell him. And that goes for anyone else interested in him as well. You might get him, but it will cost you ridiculous money. Just out of interest how much do you think it will cost you to get him?

    I'm not disagreeing with any of that mate. Though, if the player wants to leave, there's very little you can actually do these days. As for the price? I don't believe the £40m+ talk. I'll take a stab in the dark at somewhere between £27m-£33m - not sure what that is in euros.

    Maybe we could throw in Cisse to sweeten the deal Wink

    Even if Villa wants to leave we can still hold out for a fair evaluation. We gave you Aurelio for free, Sissoko for way below his worth - Quique's fault - and you got Benitez for free. We are nice people, but there are limits to our charity. Very Happy

    I can see it makes sense for Liverpool. Even Villa may entertain the idea, but if he goes we have to get his worth. I think he has a long contract, so we can afford to play a waiting game with him. He threw a massive strop earlier with Quique, but Quique won in the end. If he only had a year to go, I can understand it, but I'm pretty sure he signed an extension earlier with a huge buy-out clause. Don't forget that we know that you have new investment come in. We can afford to wait until your offer meets ours expectations of his worth. We can afford to wait it out with him for an offer of £40m+. We do tend to get talented youngsters pretty cheap. Look at David Silva. On loan last season - Spanish international this. We can wait for an offer we like. Does your offer of Cisse come with compensation for us taking him? Very Happy

    Mad Villa is not for sale unless extremely stupid money is offered, or we collapse so badly that we don't get European football next season. I believe he has signed a contract extension that involves a huge buy-out clause. Why should we sell him unless it makes sense for us? Not even Carboni is stupid enoiugh to sell a great player for less than he is worth.

    Say if 30-40 million was offered. Surely that would be tempting. It would allow you to build a squad that could compete with any side in Europe if in the right hands, ie: the hands of Flores not Carboni....
    to be honest i already think valencia has the best squad in spain and one of the best in europe. they need a good passer in the middle like pizzaro from roma. and for that i dont think they need to sell. and more importantly if valencia sell they show a sign of weakness by selling their most important player.

    All fair points. I can't see us paying the £40+ though. It's the same thing before every transfer window. Clubs put ridiculous price tags on players but never follow through. Designed purely to scare off suitors but it never does.

    Your youth system is exceptional, but not without it's flaws. Gavilan had as many assists as Ronaldinho last season and he's 3rd choice for your left wing this.

    As far as Cisse is concerned... No compensation I'm afraid, but we'll pay for his trips to the barber Ale

    dont even think of it. valencia would do anything they can to avoid selling to us even if it means ignoring a bid from us that is 10mil+ more then others. i truly believe that it would be impossible for us to sign him with a bid under 40mil.

    But that is the problem. Transfers are negotiated by Technical Directors in Spain. Carboni, not Quique decides how the money is spent. Aimar was sold to some extent behind Quique's back and the Ayala fiasco the same. Quique even had to call a press conference to sabotage a transfer Carboni was negotiating last summer and the transfer of Tavano was clearly not one that Quique wanted. If transfers done were the ones the coach wanted then okay, but you can't trust Carboni not get some Italian talewnt that is not part of the coach's plans. Better keep Villa than let Carboni waste £40m.

    Sorry, but Liverpool have more chance than you of getting Villa. Carboni leaves much to be desired, but he knows he would be lynched if he strengthened Madrid by giving them our star player. You would have to pay his buy-out in full and if he did we'd lynch him ourselves!

    Only.....it has been ravaged by injury. Will players like Edu and Baraja be the same once they return? I think they need to make a couple more world class signings to be truly classed up with the best, first XI wise that is, the squad in general is strong, yes. Would like to see them make a couple of additions. A Left back and a central midfielder would be the most important.

At least I hope Flores gets the chance in the next couple of seasons, but I think if the politics drag on Villa could eventually want out?

    The politics at Valencia is the biggest problem at the club. Carboni was a great player for us. He even welcomed Quique to Mestalla, but Quique was ever reluctant to give him playing time in his final season. Carboni never forgave the slight, even refusing to sign cover during the spate of injuries this season, by saying he lasted without cover last season (meaning didn't play Carboni even when he was the obvious choice). He then said he could have players back from loan or affiliated lower clubs, but no signing because of the spending in the summer. Bit of a cheek really considering how obviously surplus to requirements Tavano was.

    Valencia needs to give Flores time. It is this stupidity that cost us Benitez. If it happens again then this board need shooting. Soler needs to bang heads together and force Carboni and Quique to work together. If not this idiocy will result not just in Villa losing patience but others as well. We are the only team that has to playu against ourselves as well as our opponents. Mad

    I wouldnt be so sure that Villa isn't for sale, apparently Valencia are very interested in Luis Garcia from Espanyol and considering paying his contract clause 12m euros as a replacement.

    Rumours also flying around that Valencia want to buy back Ayala from Villarreal for 6m euros !

    Villa might go, but we don't have to sell him. If we sell him it has to make good sense for us, meaning it has to be an offer we like. Why should we sell him for less than he is worth? Meet our evaluation and he can go if he wants to, but this is not the January sales. We could get Luis Garcia to strengthen the squad. Doesn't mean we are selling Villa. We might, but we want silly money for him. Why should we settle for less?

    If I was Valencia I wouldn't sell Villa for less than 40 million euros, if he does get sold in the first place, that is.

    €40m is not enough. That isn't even £30m. Even Obi was offering more than that!

    Too bad we didn't just keep Luis Garcia in the first place! Doh

    Another week, another helter skelter ride at the top.

    the table looks like this now.

    1 Barcelona 31 59
    2 Sevilla 31 58
    3 Real Madrid 31 57
    4 Zaragoza 31 53
    5. Valencia 31 53

    games left:

    matchday .... Barcelona ........ Sevilla ............ Madrid

    32 ............... Levante (H) ...... Espanyol (H) .... Athletic (A)
    33 ............... Sociedad (A) .... R Madrid (A) ..... Sevilla (H)
    34 ............... Betis (H) .......... Recre (H) ......... Espanyol (H)
    35 ............... Atlético (A) ...... Depor (A) ......... Recre (A)
    36 ............... Getafe (H) ....... Zaragoza (H) .... Depor (H)
    37 ............... Espanyol (H) .... Mallorca (A) ...... Zaragoza (A)
    38 ............... Nastic (A) ........ Villarreal (H) ..... Mallorca (H)

    things tightening up at the top. Valencia and Zaragoza lurking in the shadows. Are they out of it? Not the way the top 3 are spilling points...
