David Villa Dismisses Rumours Of A Transfer To Chelsea
posted by Barry on April 26, 2007
The Spanish striker has been touted for a move to south London from Valencia for some time. He has performed consistently again in La Liga and shone during Valencia’s UEFA Champions League campaign.
Villa is also on the wanted list of former Valencia coach Rafa Benitez but he has told the media that he has not plans to leave the Mestalla by saying “I am very happy in Valencia”.
He qualified his position when he continued with “I have no interest in the rumours about Chelsea or other clubs.”

I know David Villa has a big reputation, but having watched him in the Champions League versus Chelsea, he was not impressive and virtually invisible.
If he came to the UK he will be another Morentais or Reyes.

Gary, I think you could be right. You only have to look at the success of Diego Forlan and Savo Milosevic in La Liga to see that players who shine in sunny Spain often fail to flourish in the Premiership.

I think that it is wrong to compare villa with reyes and morientes because they are way different. Coach wagner once said in a quoate that reyes was a fondamental key to his club,when he was playing for arsenal.I think since reyes left arsenal, they have been doing rather poorly since his loan and since Henry is injured it only adds to the poor performance that arsenal had this season. I think premership fans are just angry because villa refused to go to england.

He won’t come to Chelsea(and I am so mad about it)because Abramovich probably never heard of him…
Too bad.
