Wouldn't say no although as a Valencia fan also it'll be disappointing if he leaves

Cant see Wenger paying the kind of money it would take to sign him

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeever going to happen. Wenger shops at Netto, even though he can afford to shop at Harrods.

I actually would rather we didnt spend the money on him to partner Torres, as wouldnt fit into the system with Gerrard behind.

I think arsenal need to worry about this a little more than us (and chelsea after the 30th )

Yes, one forward scoring 30 goals and an attacking midfielder scoring 21 just isnt enough
What I mean is I'd rather buy an attacking winger/forward to play on the opposite side to Babel, so alongside Torres, with Gerrard behind the 3 of them. Villa doesnt fit this position and I'd rather see the £20m+ it would cost to buy him spent on someone that will.
He is a great player though, and would improve any team in the Prem if he can fit in aswell and as quickly as Torres (I have my doubts though as isnt as strong physically).

He does have a tendancy to be brushed off the ball easily at times... he is also similar to Henry in that he will very occasionally have a game where he does naff all

Outweighed by the games he plays well though?!

Of course! But as said, Henry has a tendancy to be on the edge of games occasionally and it was a big frustration

This was my fear a few seasons back (pre-Torres) when we were linked with Villa. As a huge part of the English game is the strength you need on the ball, and thats a big reason why players who score for fun in some leagues do nothing here - yet go to Spain and score a hell of a lot of goals (Forlan being a good example!).
