Does this mean he is already gone???
Valencia decide not to sell Villa
Valencia have slapped a 'not for sale' sign on star striker David Villa following months of speculation that the Spain international was on his way out of the club.
Clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea had all been linked with Villa as financially-troubled Valencia seemed poised to cash in on their prize asset.
Los Che president Manuel Llorente even admitted in midweek that although there were no offers on the table at that point, they had held talks with Madrid while other teams, including Barca, had asked about the player's availability.
However, Valencia have now decided to take the prolific hitman off the market, and will only consider selling if they receive an "amazing offer" for the player.
"We have taken the decision to not sell David Villa. We've taken this decision after some days of thought in which we studied the advantages and disadvantages," Llorente said.
"We think David Villa is the best striker in Europe and we have the fortune to have him in our team and we are going to fight to keep him."
Llorente insists the move is not a ploy either, saying: "It's not a strategy, but to avoid all the rumours. Because they affect Valencia, the media and the player.
"We have to be calm and think about the project. When we talked of selling it was because we thought that some players could bring in a lot of money, like Villa. But it's not been like that."
Llorente did admit though that the decision taken by Valencia does not necessarily guarantee Villa will still be at the Mestalla next season.
"I cannot say that because there could arrive an amazing offer," he added.
The striker's agent, Jose Luis Tamargo, said: "They [Valencia] have put us through a situation that is, sadly, very unpleasant because this is no good for anyone.
"Valencia have changed their minds and they are telling us they don't want to sell the player after, as everyone knows, having talks with three of the four top clubs."
Villa is currently with the Spanish squad at the Confederations Cup in South Africa.

He kinda looks like Yossi Benayoun from memory. What actual injury does he have anyway
Seriously how do you break your leg landing straight down on it. Doesnt it have to twist or bend? Im still bewildered by that injury
i thought he had a bad knee injury, doesnt matter is not much of a player anyway.

I figured maybe the sex change operation was a failure. Seriously look at him and tell me that is not a womans face
yeah hes a ***, all arsenal players are ****ters actually bit like their manager.
Who do you follow?
FC Twente
didn't you beat them in the CL qualifying rounds last year?
anyway, not enough barca in this thread. time to change that. rumours of the catalans bidding 25m pounds for Ashley Young. I said it while ago and i'll say it again. the odds of an established English player leaving the EPL is almost zero. waste of time pursuing him if the rumour is true.
Rosickys knee ligament was meant to of come off the bone.
you know already
first and second surgery on it failed i believe as well, so in all seriousness good luck to him. I remember he scored that great goal at the WC just as arsenal signed him, but hasnt done a lot since.
Beat Liverpool in the FA cup a few years ago. A few crucial goals, a cracker at Hamburg in the CL.

not selling bojan
happy to loan him for 2-3 years or sell him with a buyback clause of maybe 10m euros more than what we sell him for but not lose control over his ownership.
30m euros is a reasonable offer
definitely no more than 35m
highly doubt there's any truth to the link with ashley young.
feel really sorry for the SPL
