The club is likely to lower their asking price even if they don't want to. Villa needs to take some action too, though. In his heart he clearly wants to stay but there's just not gonna be many minutes available for him since Pedro and Alexis are clearly preferred over him. We'll probably get...

We shouldn't be mad at him. We should be understanding.

Have to agree there. Villa at least brings scoring and some link up, despite not having the energy level of his younger days. Alexis can dribble and has great movement but not the most clinical finisher. Pedro can only press at this point and despite all that he got more minutes than Villa...

Thiago needs to stop fooling around. If he wants to go, then he needs to let right people know so this deal can get done. I personally would keep him, but he's clearly unsettled and wants 1st team football now. For all sides, I think a move is for the best.

How long before the hate towards Cesc turns up even more because Thiago is leaving?...

Thiago is like most footballers. He wants 1st team play. I'm not mad at him for that. And if he betters his career and makes more money, we can't fault him. Which is why I'm BAFFLED at the hate Cesc was and still is getting because he went to Arsenal 9 years ago as a 16 year old kid who...

Part of the problem Thiago and Cesc face is that they're expected to be as good as Xavi and play like him. But they're different players. They have different strengths. For as much criticism as Cesc gets for losing the ball, Thiago also loses the ball quite a bit, but that's fine. Sometimes we...

Villa would shine at United for sure.

He'll be alright. He played well this season. Much better than Pedro. He not only works hard, but he creates and assists in the final third. His finishing needs work. But he's doing well.

Cesc will never leave. What we need to do is play him in his natural position and stop moving him around.

It's Tito who has to do the rotations. I just don't trust him. He ran Messi into the ground last year, though Leo wanting to play every game doesn't help either. He overplayed Xavi as well. I definitely miss Pep.

Yeah Alonso to me is not answer. He dwells too much on the ball and doesn't always make the quickest decisions, and now that Xavi is starting to show his best days are behind him, that won't work next year at the World Cup. The Spanish side could very well have a dilemma in regards to what...

I want to Thiago to stay as well. The thing is, Thiago wants to play in the World Cup next year... I don't even think is so much the money. He clearly wants to play and Tito isn't the best with rotations.

He was terrible. The only thing he can do is press.

He played well in his few minutes. Not his best, but still came close to scoring one himself and set up 2 scoring opportunities. Still has much to offer. A new team and a new challenge will do him a world of good.

He may have done better than Xavi today, sad to say. Next season he needs to really get more minutes in the CENTRAL MIDIELD role. I think playing him all over the park with no set position is what messed with his confidence.

Would be weird seeing Villa at Tottenham... I can't see it for some reason. But Higuain is now going to Arsenal so it's not likely Villa goes there now unless he takes a major it in wages and Arsenal finds a way to work him into the system . Atleti have the money and Villa may end up wanting...

He'll be good at Arsenal. Has a strong chance at becoming the top scorer in the EPL.

Unless he takes a cut in wages, Villa could very well finish out his contract for us which means we lose him for free :-(

Nah he's still a great player and would make an impact at any top club. He just needs a manager that actually believes in him and plays him in his proper position.
