A bitter sweet week for the Gunners... A draw with Villa and victory with Portsmouth. Where do we go from here??? Well no ideas at my end.. Meanwhile lemme keep churning up the transfer rumor-mill.....
David Villa
Who is he: No really dude... Do you even watch soccer. Apart from Cesc and Torres the true star for the Spanish Armada's Euro glory was the great Villa. Currently Valencia's star striker, Villa combines immense power, with skill and in Pro Evo terms, has probably gotten a 'Response of 98'. In the current La Liga he is the second highest Goal scorer(12) behind Samuel Eto of Barca(14). A mere 2 goal difference inspite of the former having the strongest bunch of midfieler and wingers backing him up.
Why do we need him: Cuz Adebayor's ball control sucks. Arsenal's current crop of strikers are not even close to Henry (all of them combined haven't scored as many as Henry scored during the Gunner's brilliant unbeaten run). Lets face it.. For all the 'beautiful soccer' we play, we really haven't found any penetration.
Why would he move: Valencia is in huge debts. They ill need to offload quite a few of their key players to get funds. Arsenal gives him a chance to combine with Cesc. Why this arrangement is a double whammy of sorts is because the deal would win Cesc's as well as Villa's loyalty to the club for many years to come.
What works against us: An over 50 million pounds tag associated with the striker. The day Arsene spends that much is the day he would sing songs of praise for Usmanov. If and till that day comes this piece of new I am sad to say will die as nothing but a rumour.

Here's wishing the Gunners a great second half.. Bring the Champions League home fellas.. My precious... We needssss it.. NEEDSSS It....!!
