Chelsea bid more than Madrid for Villa?

The David Villa transfer saga has taken another twist. Its reported that talks between Real Madrid and David Villa had broken down earlier in the week. So everyone was waiting to hear if the deal would be rekindled by Madrid. But, now it seems that Chelsea have offered more than Real Madrid for Villa and Valencia are urging him to sign for us!

Well of course they are! They are in financial debt which is why they are cashing in on their best players so if we have bid more money that Real they are hardly going to turn their nose up. It was funny when I read a report in the Daily Star that said:


There is a bid on the table of £35m from Chelsea for the Spanish hitman, and that has not been matched by Real Madrid. The player himself is believed to want to stay in Spain with Madrid.
But Valencia president Manuel Llorente has told Villa that he needs to go to Chelsea for the sake of the club.

Valencia face crippling debts so they need to raise as much cash as possible this summer from their star assets. Madrid as yet have only bid £31.8m and have offered a number of players in exchange.But Valencia need hard cash which is why they want Villa to do his duty for the club and sign for Chelsea.

Llorente said: ‘’It is not possible for Villa to stay here. Today the best offer that we have is from Chelsea and I need to speak to the player about his future.’’

So let me get this straight. The player himself wants to stay in Spain but the club want him to come to Chelsea for the good of the club?. I think we should steer clear here. There is no doubt his is one of the hottest talents in European football but if his desire is to stay in Spain then let him. We don't need him at the moment as we have Drogba and Anelka. Besides, as I keep saying, we want players that WANT to come and play for Chelsea.
