Then again, Llorente the old valencia president thats returned this month, was the same bloke who forced Mendiate to Lazio when Madrid wanted him, he hates Madrid wiht a passion so probably wants a bigger offer from them than other teams.

they turned down an offer from Chelsea last week thought to be around £40m which seems very strange.

if villa doesnt go to madrid there reports they may go for Benzema which is something i hope isn't true.

Michael Owen has to be worth a punt considering he is free. Use the money to ease the debt. It makes perfect sense. Cheeky bid for Gutierrez too. Proven on the biggest stage.

Stop getting your knickers in a twist over £#%&!ing paper talk. 99% of it is %@#$&!s so just chill, enjoy the summer, enjoy the 18th league title and see what happens ffs.

Actually Alan Nixon is a good journalist, he posts on a Blackburn Rovers site and most of his stuff is spot on. I'm not saying Villa will sign for us, but there's a good chance we've probably enquired about him.

David Villa profile: 10 Things you need to know about the Manchester United target

Manchester United have loads of money in the bank after selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid - and they are interested in splashing a British record £45million of that cash on David Villa.

Here's the lowdown on one of Europe's most coveted strikers.

1) David Villa Sanchez was born on 3 December 1981 in Langreo, a small town in the Asturias region of northern Spanish. His nickname is El Guaje, which is Castilian for The Kid, and he has a daughter, Zaida, with his wife Patricia.

2) His career was almost over before it had even started, when he suffered a severe fracture to his femur as a nine-year-old. Fortunately, an unusual non-invasive treatment led to a complete recovery, and David was signed up by Spanish second division side Sporting de Gijon.

3) After scoring 50 times in three years, he was signed by Real Zaragoza in 2003. Villa was an instant success, scoring 17 times in his first La Liga season – including a crucial goal against Real Madrid on the way to the team’s Copa del Rey victory.

4) He moved to Valencia in 2005 for £8m and started paying back his transfer fee immediately, finishing the 2005/06 season just behind Barcelona’s Samueal Eto’o in the La Liga scoring lists with 25 goals.

5) In that first season he scored one of the fastest hat-tricks in La Liga history, netting three times in five minutes against Athletic Bilbao on April 23, which you can see below:

6) Displaying impeccable timing, he also scored a hat-trick against Levante during his 100th game for Valencia.

7) His strike-rate is truly phenomenal. At Valencia Villa averages far better than a goal every other game, and notched an outstanding 31 goals in 40 appearances this season. Throughout his career he has racked up 204 goals in 407 appearances for his clubs.

8) He’d be hard pushed to beat this stunning effort from the half-way line against Deportivo la Coruna, mind:

9) He made his debut for Spain in a 5-0 victory over San Marino on February 9th, 2005. He quickly ousted Spanish legend Raul from the senior squad and has gone on to win 45 caps so far, scoring 29 goals in the process, including this stunner in a friendly against Italy:

10) Clearly unfazed by the big stage, he’s shone at the two major international tournaments he’s so far been involved in. Alongside Fernando Torres, Villa was Spain’s joint top scorer at the 2006 World Cup with three goals, and the tournament’s top score at Euro 2008 with four. Sadly he missed the final after picking up an injury in the previous game against Russia.

£45million - so half our transfer budget on a striker.

There saving that for next weeks EXCLUSIVE "I wont be signing for United"

Valencia trying to convince him to join Manchester United or Chelsea, and the offer we've made is apparently £33m, and not £45m.

He will end up at Barca but it remains to be seen whether thats just a smokescreen for their main target - Ibrahimovic.
