Latest post by the Toffeeman on citymancs...does anyone think there is any substance in this or is this guy a wum?
"A meeting was held on Monday morning regarding future transfers regarding players who will be leaving in the summer. Another meeting was held yesterday, with regards to offers which have been submitted for a few Valencia players.
There have been three bids received for David Villa. Man City is one club. Another English Prem team and an Italian club. There are also two other clubs who have asked to kept up to date with the situation regarding Villa. This of course will put his valuation up. Which will obviously not deter some of the teams interested in him.
Villa has expressed his wish that this impending transfer goes ahead as soon as possible, as he does not want it to be prolonged for the sake of himself, his family and of course the Valencia fans.
It is my understanding that offers will be accepted once they reach a certain amount. (Which i am not going to post.)
As soon as the offer is accepted Villa will sign a pre-contract agreement as soon as he can. He knows where he wants to play his football next year and it is not on the continent.
Once the pre-contract agreement has been signed I'm not sure when the deal will be confirmed. The deadline for the impending transfer has been set for the 22ND of June 2009.
So on June 22ND, i will either be proved right all along or take an incredible amount of stick. I would say there is Man City and one other English Prem team at the forefront of this deal, and I'm well aware that no team could match Man City's spending power, however there is no way the other team involved could even come close.
I know where he will be on 22ND June. And i know where i will be".
