I'm not sure if I want us to go for David Villa. He's a fantastic player, the best striker in the world in my opinion, but I feel he's at his best when he plays as a '9', off the defender's shoulder, and I don't think he could cut it in England as a number 9. We don't need a partner for Torres, we have Gerrard who is the only player I've seen really hit it off with him, Villa (for Spain), Keane, Crouch, Kuyt and so on have never really shown any signs of a top partnership with him. I feel we should be looking at a back up to Torres, Negredo would be a pretty good signing to back him up.
I think our priority should be creativity, if we're investing 30 mill on someone, I'd rather it be David Silva, Ribery or somebody of similar quality.
