And do you really think that a player who only joins our club because Valencia sold him to us despite him not wanting to leave and certainly not wanting to leave for us, would roll up his sleeves and be giving everything he got?

Well according to the report, which you obviously have to belive either in full or not at all, he is actually interested in coming to us.

If we did pay £120mil I can't imagine how much stick he'd get if he didn't score a hattrick within 3 minutes of starting his first game!

This was posted yesterday evening on Citymancs from some Everton fan who claims his cousin is on the Valencia coaching staff. I accept no ressponsibility for the poster or content as I don't want to join the ban list :p

I'm glad you had chuckle fella, good cure for a hangover. You have presumed correct the team i support. Not quite sure how you know i have a Spanish sounding name, but again you're not wrong.
However that's where it ends sorry. My cousin lives in Spain well in Moncofa to be exact. Street? Av De Mare Nostrum. Won't tell you his house number though. Smiley
I'm not goat in disguise either, sorry to disappoint you.
Anyway, just to let you know the deal is DONE!!! David Villa HAS AGREED TERMS! He will sign for you on the Second week of January. Valencia wanted it to go through later in the month, to appease their fans. The fee was 30m plus add ons. I Know it will cost you another 4m if you qualify for the champs league within 2 years.
I appreciate that many of you will not believe me, but remember where you heard it first.
And just because i don't support your team, doesn't mean I'm not excited about having some of greatest players in the world coming to play in the prem, whoever they sign for.

WUM or real? I'm not holding my breath ;-)
time will tell but seems sincere... not trying to much

It may be pages back in this thread, also I think from Citymancs, same poster I think, who said his cousin was at Valencia and the deal was very well advanced.

That would be my other concern... can you imagine that abuse he and we would get if he wouldn't score at least 30 goals a season?
 
Yet again, some random bloke has come on here and stated that a deal is about to be or is done and an internet message board is the first to hear about it.

If I knew that a deal was done and no one else did I'd be straight down the bookies with a hefty wedge in my arse pocket.

Also, if some random bloke knows about this, how come the media haven't latched onto this. I mean, SSN reported our interest in Ronaldinho and there actually WAS substance to that in the end. And I'm not talking about the rumour column.
 
The fee should stay "undisclosed" to stop other teams taking the piss and keep people guessing how much we paid for him
 
Thing with the post on the citymanc forum it states a transfer fee of £30 million plus add ons which could well be a sensible figure but also state in that post was the time of arrival thing with him coming in the second week of Jan but Valencia want to leave it later to appease their fans.

In all the articles there are no quotes about the 120 million price tag and even if this had been leaked from Valencia it could well be a technique to keep the fans happy at valencia.

Only time will tell on this one not that long till the window opens

mite aswell pay what they askin he certinly aint gorna come 4 the high standard of football we are playin so mite aswell just chuck money at the guy see iff that works


There maybe other things that will make him come............. if some of the wild rumors are true he may want to play in a team with the likes of Buffon, Kaka, Eto'o etc

roll on january I want to know what the first 3-4 days bring as this will set the tone for the type of players we are after either world class or very good ones.

either way it should improve the squad
 
we need to just go in hard right at the begining of jan. identify the the main target and just get him (fuck the cost it's not my money).It'll make signing others a lot easier because they will be more willing to come to a club with higher profile players. it will be worth while in the long run. would you come if you thought you would have to up front with Benjani?

I agree. If we have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to bring in top top players then lets do it. Once we have a few in and the league position improves then others will want to come anyway and the prices won't need to be so inflated in order to get them.

If he isn't 'ours' in January, imagine how long this thread could go on for...
 
Dont know if this has already been mentioned? Just read that he was/is keen to join us but after City have spent the last few days pampering the agent and representatives of the club they have slapped a £120m fee for the player! City have now said they will pull out the deal... Cant remember what link but was one of the papers on news now.
 
The £120m is his buyout contract clause isn't it? Surely if we were to offer that sum of money, it would be impossible for them to turn down.

But for £120m you'd want to see 20-30+ goals a season.
