Watching
Villa playing superbly for Spain
in the Euro_2008 obviously attracted many clubs. He is a terrific player with
speed and trickery to go along with his scoring ability. He outshone Torres and
very much the main man for Spain
at the moment.
A
few years back, when Villa was playing for Zaragoza, SAF has tried to lure him
to OT but eventually he signed for Valencia. He is not having the club
success as much as he would like and being a class player he should be winning
more trophies. So he is available on transfer.
Villa
will be a great addition to our strike-force but he openly declares his
admiration to play for Arsenal so our chances of getting him is very slim which
is disheartening.
Correct
me if I’m wrong but we seem to fail to compete with other big clubs when it
comes to signing high profile players. Remember Ronaldinho, Fernando Torres, Essien,
Bosingwa, Aaron Ramsey (latest), and Arjen Robben the list go on.
I
read the paper today and learnt that SAF makes the first summer signing in
Davide Petrucci, Roma youngster who touted to be the next Francesco Totti. He
has great potential but I wonder if he ever makes the grade at OT or he’ll be the
next Rossi, talented young Italian striker but eventually sold to Villareal.
To
be frankly honest, I think our current squad is capable of winning things even
if we fail to buy anyone this summer. The departure of Ronaldo (If he leaves)
will have big effect on us but I somehow think that we’ll cope.
First
Team Squad
GK:
Van Der Saar, Kuszack, Foster
Defenders:
Rio, Vida, Brown, Evra, Silvestre, O’Shea,
Neville
Midfielders:
Hargo, Carrick, Scholes, Giggsy, Nani,
Anderson, Fletcher, Park
Strikers:
Rooney, Tevez, Manucho, Saha, Ronaldo (If
he stays)
I
believe some of the youngsters from our academy will be given the chance to
show their worth in the senior squad, so the team is looking alright for me. As
many of us are hoping SAF to get another striker, Huntelaar will be a realistic
target. He hasn’t played for Holland
(Much to do with the presence of our x-hitman_Ruud) in the Euro so his price
won’t be as much as Villa. SAF will make Huntelaar as good as RVN if not
better.
