Spurs bid for lots of players.
I cannot see Villa going to Spurs unless he is chasing £. I will be surprised if a big club doesn't come in for him.

Liverpool were supposed to be interested in him, there have been a couple of their fans at work talking about this as if it's a legitimate posibility. Villa is past 30, his career is entering it's last few years, there's no way he'll be spending them at a club which can't qualify for Europe at all, yet alone one which looks some distance away from being a Champion's League side.
It's the lack of Champion's League football that I think will see Villa not go to Spurs, in fact he'd be a perfect fit at Arsenal. Not too pricey, used to a passing game, and he'll score goals for them.

Plus he had a bad injury a year or two back (broken leg?). That sort of injury will take its toll on a player who is getting on a bit.Matty said:Manc in London said:Super David Silva 21 said:Heard this morning they're planning a £10 million bid for David Villa

Fee isn't a problem it's his wages. I don't think he'd want much lower than his 175k a week.
Loved David Villa a few years back as Jim said he's had a serious injury, not sure if he'll get it back. I'd love him at Spurs though, an upgrade from Adebayor and Defoe even on the decline. Maybe Monaco will snap him up, they seem to be mega rich all of a sudden

But isn't this what Spurs do? Their name seems to be linked to some truly top footballers, as is normally the case, then thos etop players don't materialise and Spurs end up with the next level down, or lower. You can't help but wonder whether Levy ever will sign off on the transfer fees/wages needed to get top level players.GHoddle said:I would definitely take David Villa, still quality imo. The possible deals for him and Leandro Damaio are looking positive.

This is exactly what Spurs (or more accurately, Levy) do. We do certainly try to sign the top level players, on occasion, but Levy has very clear ideas about what he is prepared to pay in both fees and wages and they are usually not quite enough to get us that very top level of player. Deals almost always favour us when he pulls them off (sales and purchases), but I wonder how many times we've missed opportunities by his approach to negotiating.
I like what Levy does, for the most part, and he is unquestionably passionate about Spurs and determined to bring success to the club. Unfortunately, he is somewhat risk averse and very reluctant to take that little bit of a gamble that would vastly increase our chances of actually pushing on from being not quite the complete package.

Think david villa would be a great signing, Spurs need to sign a new LB, CM and striker for me, I dont think Kyle walker is very good either.
