Transfer rumors in April? Gooood, gooood.
this saga is driving me locaaa. david silva also said he wants to honour his valencia contract and does not plan on leaving and now villa is saying that he wants to stay in valencia. a few months ago it was basically confirmed that valencia would need to sell their top players to deal with their financial crisis :S
either way, i don't think that david villa would play anywhere but in spain so if he were to move, a player of his quality would only go to the top, which means that real madrid and barcelona would have to fight for him. i don't want to see him outside of la liga anyways, i think he is best suited there
Didn't Valencia stumble into some money in the past few weeks that eased their crisis?
I think they got a little under $70 million dollar loan to help pay wages they owed their players, but I don't think they're anywhere close to out of the woods.
yeah and the spanish press was starting crap about how they only won their game last weekend because the players got their salaries back
