I Hate Dalport … And Now Villa is Gone? UGGH!

By: Cesar | July 9th, 2009

Anyone else as tired of all this Dalport Investments business as I am?

According to various web reports and comments on my previous post, Dalport Investments is really a lingerie company.

Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself.

Of course, they’re saying all the right things after being cornered by a Canal Nou TV reporter outside their Madrid ‘headquarters’ yesterday …

What did the representative, Francisco Manuel Gómez, say about Dalport? That Dalport is a holding company based in New York, Dubai and Miami. That his boss, Uruguayan Víctor Vicente Bravo, will give more details in a few days. That they have the money to purchase Our Beloved. That he can sell you a beautiful black see-through halter top for 50% off …

This entire story is MORE that foul smelling. But if I’m proven wrong and Dalport has the money to make VCF financially solvent again? I’d love it … I’d be a very happy VCF supporter.

I think in this case, it’s all wait and see. Vicente Soriano isn’t going to tell us anything. So let’s wait until Mr. Dalport himself takes his mask off and reveals himself.

Does this remind anyone else of some bad World Wrestling Federation story line from the Eighties??

Vicente Soriano is SUPPOSED to give a press conference today. At least that’s what I read.
Haven’t seen where it is or if it’s still scheduled. If I’m able to, I’ll be around for it …

And in today’s other big story, Emiliano Moretti is off to Genoa … or will be soon, according to Genoa’s general director Fabrizio Preziosi.

I kid. The big story is a story goal.com is touting as a SUPER DUPER EXTRA DELICIOUS EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE that I’m sure they ripped off from someone else …

David Villa is off to Barcelona.

Try finding this story on any other reputable news site …

Exactly … that’s why it’s an exclusive.

Look, here’s an exclusive: Goal.com SUCKS!!!!

Anyways, just in case, here’s what they had to say …

Barcelona and Valencia have reached a deal that will see David Villa move to Camp Nou and are expected to make an announcement soon, Goal.com has learned.

A source close to Camp Nou has revealed exclusively to this website that the Spanish international striker has had his wish granted and he will join the European champions this summer.

Negotiations have been ongoing between Barça and Valencia and the Catalan club’s president Joan Laporta even revealed that a bid had been made during a television interview on Wednesday evening.

Now Goal.com has been told that a deal has been struck and that Villa will be a Barcelona player, although no details of the fee or any of the Blaugrana’s squad going in the other direction was divulged.

Laporta suggested that a offer of over €40million had been made and that, allied with los Che’s new chief Vicente Soriano’s promise to let the player go this year, has meant the treble winners have their man.

The arrival of Villa could speed up the departure of Samuel Eto’o, with both Manchester United and Manchester City linked with the Cameroonian striker, who was Barca’s top league scorer last term.

Real Madrid opted not to pursue Villa after being told that he was not for sale and instead forked out a fee of up to €41million to sign Karim Benzema from Olympique Lyonnais.

As with the Dalport mess, I’ll believe it when I see it.

How the F*CK are VCF going to negotiate a deal when no one knows who OWNS the club?!?

Whatever … I include it here because it’s ‘big’ VCF news and because I’m tired of talking about Dalport …

UGGH … I need some medicine.

    El rey your right, i probably will but its bordering on madness nothing every goes smoothly. I think we should get rid of Villa too, throw in a decent player preferbly a striker and get rid for about 40mill. Why doesn’t Viana agree to a termination i would want to get my career back on track. Feel a little sorry for Angulo he has always been pretty loyal.

    Angulo is f’n terrible. Espanyeta’s loyal too, but it doesn’t mean he should be on the pitch.

    Espanyeta seems to have some good set of skills. He might be able to take Angulo’s place on the pitch with a little training!

    I for one dont agree with selling Villa if the amount paid is 40ME…we would just waste good deal of it on another striker and I am 100% sure that striker would not deliver half of Villa’s goals per season.

    We need to be in the CL next year, that alone would provide us with a minimum of 20ME.

    I agree with Llorente, he seems like an intelligent person, nothing short from a huge offer would be cost effective when it comes to the sale of Villa. Selling him for 40ME would just cost us more money than keeping him.

    1st we have to get rid of our useless players. We should start with Angulo and Viana. Selling Villa shouldnt be on top of our list.

    @El_Valenciano_Sajón and everyone

    Here is the story…http://loco4losche.com/blogweb/index.php?/archives/170-Inversiones-Dalport-is-one-step-closer-to-gaining-control-of-Valencai.html

    Basically it says that Inversiones Dalport is one step closer to taking over, but that they want to cancel the capital increase, which means this…

    Here is the important part however. Dalport Investments has promised to invest €500 million into the club, which would include the purchase of Mestalla. Since they are injecting that much money into the club, they feel the capital increase is not necessary and want to cancel it.

    If the capital increase is canceled, and it turns out that Dalport Invesments doesn’t actually have the money, then the club could fall into bankruptcy. That was the whole point of the capital increase, to avoid bankruptcy. If Dalport Investments doesn’t have the necessary funds, and the saftey net of the €92 million capital increase is no longer in place, that could spell doom for VCF.

    Maybe the decisive moment for the future of our club. Kyle bro, maybe I am wrong, but few days ago that guy from Dalport said that they don’t have the money physically, right??

    invited themselves?To do what? Probably to convince the guy to stay since they are clearing everything up….Let’s see and wait but the worst thing will be selling the player to Barca for that low price…$40m?.I read the other day that Xavi said Villa is worth as much as Kaka so Barca give us 65M then he is yours.No loans please.

    He didn’t say they didn’t have it, he said IN LIFE you can’t always have the money physically. Whatever that means…

    Up for a ‘Who will be our president tomorrow?’ sweepstakes? Your options are Vicente Soriano, Victor Bravo, Juan Soler, Miguel Angulo, Manolo, Vince McMahon and Paris Hilton. Feel free to add more. You never know. Best part is, we can probably have this every week with different winning entries.

    Note that this is just for the nominal president. No sweepstakes for the person really in control of the club. We all know who he is. Starts with ‘K’ and ends with ‘yle’.

    If Angulo agrees to vacate the pitch and never return, unless it’s to play for one of our rivals, he has my vote for president.

    I think it is logical that there isnt any money available at the moment, because 46 million has been spoken about 2×46 = 92 and that is the amount needed to launch a new share issue.Dalport are trying to stop this because it would lower their share value SO if they had money they would buy them now, they have nothing to lose.
    If the capital increase reaches 92 then they still have a majority holding if it doesnt reach that figure then their is no share increase and they get their money back and they still hold a majority…Conclusion?..They havent got it I would say.

    @ Timothy: Make that two votes.

    @Almendras: I agree on that as well…If they had the money they would have stopped the capital increase.
