Same price as Torres?

On last nights showing he is worth it..Himself and Torres seem to have a understanding of each other too
Christ it would be great to have both i wonder could Torres talk him into it!

We have to be realistic, he had a poor season. I watched a fair bit of the Spanish football this year and he was nowhere near as good as the previous two seasns, but he was surrounded by a team od dirt this year.

He is nowhere near as good as Torres but is still absolute class. I would happily pay £20 million for him.

I texted Torres to ask him to join there, just waiting on a reply.

I just hope he isnt judged on his performances in Euro 08 which can be very misleading,he didnt score many last year but Valencia were piss poor, the last time a Liverpool manager bought players on the strength of a tournament we ended up with Diouf and Diao.........

We had Baros before he played so well in the 2004 tournament.

Torben Piechnik and Phil Babb are two who we bought mainly on the strength of seemingly very good perfomances in major championships.

Villa is different class. But we can't afford him.

That's about the height of it.

Well summed up, especially as we are making such a big outlay on that tube Barry.

Wouldn't agree with calling Barry a tube i think he is a excellent player and his last two seasons with Villa have been great

I just think he is overvalued, over rated and the money could be spent better elsewhere, to be precise a right winger or creative midfielder.

If Alonso does not go I will agree with you but it hardly makes him a tube though.

Villa was injured a good bit of this year.
His stats for the year are:

Champions League      Valencia     6 (1)     3     
Primera Liga    Valencia    26 (2)    18    
Spanish Copa del Rey    Valencia    5 (1)    1    

I do not find that at all bad.

I was hoping wed buy him before the euros

That's what I was getting at unfortunately.
it's 'circle the wagons time again' here comes the cavalry!

From a neutral's perspective (Well as neutal as you can get), I think Barry is twice the player Alonso is. It'll be good business to get him at £15 million offset by whatever they receive for Alonso.
