The betting odds. Not that i pay much attention to them, they're always weighted in favour of British clubs
Villa could be an incredible signing. He was always one of my favourite players in Spain. I dont think there's a better finisher on the planet. Villla and M'Vila would be tremendous.
I have my worries about signing Villa to be honest. His age and also the fact he is returning from a leg break.
He only just turned 31. Arsenal need to get over their fear of players over 30. Look at the success United, Milan and Chelsea have had in recent years by keeping several experienced heads in the team. Also he's scored 8 in his 15 games since returning.(that and the fact Barca are trying hard to keep hold of him indicate he seems to be fully recovered)
I think there's a difference with having over 30's who are already in your team and buying one.I always get the impression that they are after one last big pay day.I would be quite happy for Villa to prove me wrong though
Theres a big difference between over 30's already in your team and one who has not been the same and not been a first team regular since breaking his leg. We already have/had enough players who have had broken legs and not been the same since. Just look at the comments on here about Ramsey and Diaby didnt have injury problems before his.

Why is everyone obsessed with getting midfielders and strikers. We need 4 quality defenders. Have a look at how we have shipped goals over the last 4 or 5 seasons. Not one of our defenders would make it in any of the top sides in Europe including the top English teams. We don't even have decent cover.
Don't listen to them, it's alt+F4. David Villa would be an amazing signing, still has a lot to offer as well. Hopefully we go all out and get him in this window, otherwise I can't see it happening in the summer.
Only because our captain seems to be undroppable. It should always be Mertesacker and Koscielny, both compliment each other incredibly well and both are our most talented CB's.
**** load of Twitter rumours indicating that M'Vila has been spotted in London this evening. Some are saying he's hear for a medical. Would be amazing.
