Our Friend David

By: Cesar | July 2nd, 2009

David Villa is a coveted striker.

One day Manchester United calls, the next Real Madrid is banging on the door for a date.

Today, the hot rumor concerns FC Barcelona, who want the services of Villa for €40m plus a loan of either CB Martín Cáceres or newly acquired striker Keirrison, who we flirted with last year.

Barca are flipping their hair, batting their eyelashes and showing tons of leg to Villa, who even asked FCB on a date this week in his home state of Asturias, where FCB offered every thing under the sun to our lad.

This is a bad deal for so many reasons.

1 – We’d be losing Villa to a direct rival.
2 – We’d be losing Villa and get Keirrison, who is as raw as a player gets. The guy’s barely 20 and although he’s scored in Brazil, what’s to say he’ll do the same in Spain?
3 – Martín Cáceres would probably be a good signing, but …
4 – These are loan deals. So we develop them and then they get them back? Umm, no …

President Manuel Llorente says he knows nothing about FCB’s flirtation. He’s like a jilted lover, refusing to see what’s obvious to everyone else. Didn’t he see Villa dressing up for a night out a few days ago and question it?!?

As I’ve said before, if Villa wants to go, so be it. But let’s get what he’s really worth.

Loan deals only helps FCB, not VCF.

We haven’t spoken about diminutive winger David Silva in some time. How’s he doing?

Oh, fine … he’s flirting, too. With Real Madrid, who apparently want to sign him next.

Can someone please explain to me how Real Madrid is doing this?

They’ve signed Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and old friend Raul Albiol.

They apparently want to sign (now get this) … current friend David Silva, Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa and Franck Ribery.

What the f*ck? This isn’t bad for football? When does this ridiculousness stop?

Look, I probably sound like a jealous f*ck and I know this isn’t the forum for it, but when they target Villa (as they did), Albiol (who they signed) and Silva (who they want), it concerns us.

Never mind that we play them twice a season at the very least. I find their signing policy pathetic. They’re free wheelin’, building a fantasy football team with money that’s apparently materialized from thin air. They’re obviously bitter over FCB’s fabulous season and want to make up for it.

But how? By purchasing every player under the sun? Next you’ll hear, they’ll be after LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez and Brett Favre. Honestly, when does it stop?

Anyways … what do I know, right?

Where would all these guys play, anyways? Will the Spanish Federation allow Madrid to have a B team in the first division? So Silva, Albiol and Benzema can play with Real Madrid B (Castilla, right?) and Ronaldo, Kaka and Van Nistelrooy can play with Raul and Guti in the first team?

Uggh … just stay away from Silva, ok?

Someone that DOES want to be here (you mean he hasn’t signed for Madrid?) is new ‘keeper and Robbie Williams look-alike Miguel Moya. (By the way, I LOVE the orange ‘keeper kit … )

The former Real Mallorca man was officially presented today and said that it is a “very happy and very important” moment for him.

“It is a day that I have dreamed of, because I have waited a year to say this phrase: Amunt Valencia!” Europa Press quote him as saying.

Moya went on to state that he feels “100 per cent Valenciano” and that he appreciates the fact that the club have continued to pursue him, even after a deal fell through last summer.

“They have come for me again and now I am here,” he stated.

The goalkeeper said that Valencia have “great history, especially in goal” and stated that with regards to Renan and Cesar, he has “great respect.”

Moya revealed that he has not yet spoken with coach Unai Emery, but that he has talked to David Albelda and David Navarro.

“They have told me that this is a big team and the truth is that I have seen that in the two days I have been here,” he mused.

Finally, Moya was asked about the futures of David Villa and David Silva, both of whom could leave Valencia this summer.

“[They are] very important for the club and for the national team. I would love for them to continue because with them we would be a great team, but in the end the one who decides these things is the club,” he concluded.

I like him already …
