I repeat: do not sell, in the words of Ray Hudson, the mercurial quick-Silva! The kid is 22 and is a fixture in the national team. He can only get better. If you really want to profit from him, wait until he is 27 and sell him for at least double what you would get for him this summer. Dear lord, I can't believe this is even on the table. Joder.

If Madrid win VCF are through. While we are all querying what Trainer we will have next year,the news was confirmed about Barca. El Presidente Laporta when interviewed said he would appoint Guardiola from July 1st. This for me is incredible that with all the multi millons tied up in players they have to pick an ex-Barca player who is coaching their 3rd division.If they wanted that sort of track record I would have thought they would have taken on Koeman, he could have gone there for free with the money he has been paid by VCF......Adios...Almendras Hi, Zaragoza v Madrid is on Valencia Ch.Nou for those of you that can get it.

Though moretti is commign along.. the problem is in the middle Helguera is the most experienced but isnt good enough.. albiol has moments and so does Alex but still they are teh biggest gaping hole. We need to be tight in the middle like a school girl. Midfeild i say we are decent. Ever, baraja, Silva Joaquin and Vicente do the job. we could use a Left winger to replace Vicente the man of glass but i think perhapse Silva should be used there with Ever next to him. We seem to experiment too much. Stic to the 4-4-2 and Form a solid playbook with a fast middle and wide flanks to open play. Mata is going to be in Villa's place next year for sure and he is comming along nicely far from Villa but one day maybe.. he tries hard. Morientes is a must the guy is older but kills himself for the goals and he is always the guy that comes off the bench to score the crucial ones. Zigic is mr Post hitter.. wrong guy for the job has to go. Arizmendi can stay we need a waterboy.. but seriously he tries hard as has been improving but still not 1st squad quality. he can sub in. We need a new goalie to back up hildebrand. Reina would be greatto replace him but who knows with that german he's a bit of a baby if he isnt first choice. So what do we need to do. i would offload Canizares (breaks heart) Villa need the cash. Angulo. Albelda though i think this is amistake he's going anyways. And Zigic has to go. too expensive for what he gives back. Every single on loan player including Sunny. (we dont have 4 years to watch this guy improve) There we now have some cash. Now buy. On defence get back del horno to back up moretti. Make marchena a central defender with helguera. And purchase one more Center back. In the Midfeild lets leave it be.. i dont think we need any more players if we hold on to Vicente. Strikers- We need one more after Villa and Zigic go. I would go for a finesse guy like Huntelaar or Saviola. we need to get back to the basic game.. hard defence with counter attack football. Thats what made us hard to beat and why we won so many games. yaeh sure we never scored tonnes of goals.. who cares. 1-0 is a win 0-0 is still a point. And that what we need now. The last thing we need is to lose Silva and joaquin right now. that would be disaster .. and losing Miguel would add to our defensive ills. Anyways thats my bit. i personally think we need to hold on to Miguel and maybe get del horno back for the back left.

As you know,we need just 1 point but there is the saving grace that if either Osasuna,Recretivo or Zaragoza only get 1 point on Sunday then Valencia can lose the next 2 safely.Valencia play Levante which wont be easy as in the last 4 visits to their ground they came away with 3 losses and a draw. Levante away to Deportivo on Wednesday only lost by 1 goal in the last minutes.There is a big upheaval however in the club. They all cornered the President yesterday about not getting paid who said to the midfield player Armando "Do you believe in God? Then go to hell" So maybe their heart wont be in winning !! Our last match against Atletico could be a hard one as their 4th Champion spot is threatened by Seville 3 points behind. Vicente is out for the last 2 matches because of ankle injury and totalling up all his minutes of play it only amounts to 7 games. Definately one for sale I would think. We should never have got rid of Regeuiro who filled his shoes with some left over and always got up when he was brought down. Morientes is still not fit. Marca and the AS are having their daily pitch for Raul to play for Spain, ignoring the fact that all the time he has done Spain have not reached the last 4.A list of candidates for the golden boot does not put Raul in the top 10. Ronaldo,Man.U is top with 30 goals and Guiza is second with 25 for Mallorca. When you think of the backing Man.U can give a player compared to Mallorca that is some achievement.All the games on Sunday start at 9 pm Spanish so at 11 pm I think we will be giving a sigh of relief...........finally Amunt Valencia.....

He played well for Barca when Eto'o wasn't there, Great for monaco, sevilla. P.S. He can play outwide left or right...left or right and he can cross. Maybe he'd demand wages too high but he isn't a great player persay but Saviola does play well and is unhappy...what do you all think, how do you rate him?

Lucio is a good option, I agree Fayez. There is a wealth of players around...we need to stop settling that's how we have faltered (Arizmendi, Morientes- he's ok but we cud have gotten youth here instead, Helguera, Joaquin- yes he's talented but he cannot cross very well...Arizmendi does better and Angulo even better...that money could have bought a defender, a striker and a cntral attacking player, Zigic even worse...good guy wrong place, wrong time...we didn't buy Lucho for 18 mil got him for ~22 mil).

Is Morientes always injured or they just don't play him. If he isn't always injured keep him as an experienced striker off the bench and/or use him as a point man and allow the other stiker to play off of him. The guy still has some worth. He takes his chances...are we forgetting that when he and Villa were starting together the goals were coming better (last season and early this season) If we don't keep Morientes the we'll need to get two strikers or buy one and let Aaron play in the 1st team. There is a place called South America where 'smaller' clubs like Mallorca get really talented players, that actually play hard and are technically gifted, from. Where we can't get high profile players, we should get lower ones that have done very well in South America for example and/or from the said same teams like Mallorca and co.

Shouldnt we be considering selling our fringe players before we think of selling our stars? Im sure we can make around 30-40ME by selling the players we dont need (on loan and currently in the squad), which would be the same amount of money we would make if we sell Villa.
