Reports saying Valencia want Bojan AND €40 million, plus Caceres on loan.

He looks like a poorer version of RVN to me from the little I have seen of him.

We have lost a huge player and need to sign some genuine quality if we are to compete for the PL next season.

Valencia and Huntelaar would not be good enough imo.

I'd love that, Paul.

I don't rate Huntelaar at all, he has no pace and I wouldn't call him particularly dominant, he can score, but the top sides need much more than that in today's game.

If Barca sign Villa, you could sign Eto'o, I know people will say 'well Eto'o's only a finisher', but he has more to his game than Huntelaar: he's quicker, has better movement and he can do more with the ball at his feet, he can also do a shift in the wider areas as you all saw in the final

I'm surprised nobody other than Milan have gone after that Dzeko, I've heard he's class.

United could well have the perfect chance now to sign Villa, Madrid are playing games, Barca have made a bid but they still have Eto'o on their books, so they may bide their time and wait for him to leave, whereas United are on the verge of earning a world record fee for a player, so they could well steal in and get him. Hope not, though

Only issue with Eto'o is he seems to be asking for silly money and I just don't think Fergie will fancy him tbh. I'd love Villa, someone to finish all the chances we make and to fill the goalscoring void left by Ronaldo.

Aye think he scored something like 14 in 8 or vice versa?

With Ferguson or any United source NOT coming out saying Huntelaar would be a good signing it seems unlikely that any deal might be occuring.

As for David Villa, have Valencia lost their minds? Bojan, Caceres and 40 million euros from Barca? I think Laporta might say erm no thanks goodbye. Madrid pulling out of any deal for Villa due to the reported 50-60m price tag. Something i think will turn Ferguson away from him aswell.

Johnson bid accepted by Pompey aswell from Liverpool. £18m quid. Bit over priced IMO

Red top rumour

Bentley and Jenas for Ashley Young.

- somehow can't see that happening.

Haven't actually seen any quotes from any of the parties mentioned. Would be surprised if there's anything really in it.

Valencia need cash and quickly. The board were hoping they could sell Villa for plenty and therefore not have to sell off 3 or 4 of their better players.
However I can see their hike in valuation coming back to bite them in the cul as the potential buyers are likely to drop like flies. They could find themselves in a situation where they have a player valued at €60 million with no one interested.

Lets hope Aston Villa and Valencia CF don't meet in Europe!

Especially if Villa cash in on Young, and make a surprise swoop on Wigan for Valencia.

Why don't United go for a player like Young rather than Valencia?

Also is Ribery really worth the amount quoted?
IMO No
