like any other transfer the club has ever made, ill believe it when hes holding up a villa shirt at bodymoor heath infront of the national press, however, to be linked with a barcelona player, just wow! were now actually buying players that will have a resale value, so even if they decided to do a 'delph', we would make a profit.
one thing though, if its true that barcelona (cant believe im typing that!) want a buy back clause, that would mean that he would become a world beater whilst with villa (thats never happened before) so the clause would have to be use, ie, at least 4 times the amount
