    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I think that formation could work well with the right signings. Suarez as striker Neymar on left, Messi playing central attaching role, Sign Dybala, or DiMaria type to play on left. Busquets and Inesta holding mids with Macherano rotating in to provide rest when needed. He has been...

    David Villa

    I have to agree that Villa was not mistreated by the club as whole but by Tito. I dont think anyone in the club would interfere in the coaching decisions and would not be surprise if some of the managment was also baffled by Villa's benching despite his high goal production last season.

    Considering messi has a potentially serious injury we really could use villa now not as a wing but as a central striker. I feared this would happen. This was not just a goal but a spectacular goal but one that will be one of the best this season.

    Word is that Torres had been unsettled before the villa move and Messi is injured for the opener already. How much are we going to miss Villa if his fitness this season is a problem. Having Neymar out on wing alone with no one to play in the middle? This start does not bode well for the rest...

    They would be a threat for sure. I am hoping that Real Madrid does not get Bale because Ronaldo and Bale would really strain our defense with that much speed and power. The counter attack would be scary for sure.

    The scary part is the keeper pulled off an amazing save against Villa on his first shot taken for athletico to limit him to just one. I hope he has a fantastic season there.

    I agree. I expect Villa to out score Neymar this season. Take a look at Villa vs Silva in the last game against Brazil:

    Can anyone point to a recent player that gained in value at barca and was sold? They waste more money in transfer fee losses than most of the the other clubs have in their entire budgets.

    David Villa

    Based on his goals per minute played he was 5th in LaLiga this season and Villa is not even the central stiker nor does he take the teams PKs. I would not be the least bit surprised to see him in the top 5 and ahead of Neymar next season if he stays healthy.

    In Torres defense I think he had not recovered from the Italy game. He appeared the tiredest player out there in both games IMO. I thought Villa did great against Silva despite the posts on here. It was Silva that Villa backed into the box on the dribble and got the great shot against. Far...

    I thought Villa was fantastic today vs Brazil. Served up two great passes one to Ramos and one to Pedro and they wasted both of them. His shot was great and Cesar's save had to be spectacular to keep it out. It was good to see him play well at this point on the national team.

    I would have gone with Carzola instead of Silva and subbed in Villa for Torres at around 80 minutes of regulation time. Villa's movevement would have been too much for the tired defenders late in the game. Torres was exhausted.

    You do realize you are talking about the 2nd leading scorer on the team despite getting less than 2,300 minutes. His rate of scoring on the season is one goal per 153 minutes played outside of Messi no one else comes close to rate of scoring. No other players on the team demostrated they can...

    I like both clubs for villa but it looks like arsenal will be in CL next season (they need only beat New Castle) and that is where villa wants to be for sure. Where ever he goes I will be sure to follow his games on TV he is that fun to watch.

    Here are the leaders in LaLiga based on goals per minute played according to Fox Sports: 1. Messi 2. CR7 3. Falco 4. Higuain 5. Villa Villa still made the top twenty scorers in LaLiga while getting only 1150 minutes played (lowest minutes total on the list) when the majority of players on...

    Do you realize that Villa's scoring percentage on shots taken is 22% compared to Messi at 25% at this point in the season. That is one of the highest in LaLiga and the second highest on the team. He has 15 goals in only 2040 minutes played. When you take Villa's rate of scoring so far this...

    Aguero is a close friend of Messi. I really see him coming as a surprise signing this summer. Falco is the guy on my wish list but it does not seem likely we can sign him. I hope Neymar doesnot come. I dont see Neymar getting back to cover the oppositions outside backs and doing the grunt...

    David Villa

    Villa's goals per minute played were as high this season as in any season of his career including Valencia. He just has not gotten the minutes. He has 2,040 minutes this season and 14 goals. When you compare a typical top striker getting 3,700 minutes per season and them being the focus of...

    I think this beatdown will be good for Barca in the long run. It will force the club to make improvements and force change, hopefully for the better. Villa was bad but still came very close to scoring on the header despite no support. I really question the tactics in both the milan and bayern...
