Tezvilla

Very impressive yesterday against Huston.

What position did he play in?

On his twitter. He's a freelance journalist

How much is avtv nowadays? Are all the preseason on again this year?

Right I'm ready for a lot of stick here but I'm going to pass on what iv heard. Apparently villa are up for sale for 30million but only with a guarantee of 200 a million investment. This has come from someone within Villa Park.

So Joe Cole is too old but cambiasso isn't......

Is this the same loan everyone's been talking about the past couple of pages?

For me Senderos is better than Baker and Clark. Cole is better than nothing. Richardson is better than Luna and Bennett. And if true which I doubt Bendtner is better than bowery.

Howard Hodgson thanks but no thanks

Howard Hodgson is going to buy us... oh god

Lily allen looked rather nice. I thought bombay bicycle club was very impressive

Not this again. Gentleman is a proven attention seeker

So Baltan's name popped up and THEN we have a ITK who has inside information. Seems a bit suspicious to me especially as Baltan's obvious sharing information that he's in dialogue with the club and yet no press here or over there have cottoned on.

To be honest I think I'm more believing Abdulaziz's Al-Baltan link than this latest Harris stuff.

They came out with some rubbish tonight though

"This is where you want to see the big players shine and Messi did just that". No he didn't, Martin, he was terrible. One good shot in 90 minutes isn't a "great performance".

not a case of being upset - not doubting the poster is passing it on in good faith - and long may it continue - but Imo this one hasn't got legs

I am going to contest 'the best team I have seen play' theory. Let us first look back at 2010.

Spain Group Stages:

Spain-Switz 0-1

Spain-Honduras 2-0

Spain-Chile 2-1 (David Villa lucky goal)

Knockouts:

Spain-Portugal 1-0

Spain - Paraguay 1-0

Spain-Germany 1-0

Spain-Netherlands 1-0

Altogether, never a single (maybe except against the mighty honduras) convincing win, they were never the best team in the tournament

EURO 2012

Group Stages

Spain-Italy 1-1

Spain-Irish 4-1 (Oh, the might Irish)

Spain-Croatia 1-0 (1-0 seems to become a trend...)

KONCKOUTS

Spain-France 2-0

Spain-Portugal (Spain Penalty win)

Spain - Italy 4-0 (granted, a great result)

Altogether? again, the winners, but far from the best team in my opinion.

I think they rode their luck MASSIVELY in 2010, and made an improvement on it in 2012. However, they were never 'the best'. If you wanna look at the best team of the last 4 years, look no further than Germany. The quality of that team and the wins they pull off is just incredible. They are due a win this year, and that is without one of their best best players in Reus.

I challenge you to a dual Czech lad

I am on xbox, what about you? I am also in America right now so I get on normally around 5pm which is 11pm in England.

The only problem with having Ronaldo is i've had to go offline because nobody will play me, how sad is that?

I have the same happen to me and I don't even have that amazing of a team. My strikers are 83 and 82 rated. It's only my defense that is strong. It's frustrating.

I was once playing and really early into the match I went on a break away, chipped his keeper from about 30 out and it was going in and right before it was going to land in the goal, disconnected...He must have sprinted to his xbox when he saw me chip.

Happened earlier too, I thought the same, glad I'm not the only sad act.

Yeeeeep me too

Sorry if posted before but this is hilarious https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=HU-gU7LnLYajPaL_gJAP&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DGLHD_UY-qEM&cd=1&ved=0CBwQtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNFeO1IHLBdfEwnOZSyVPhuoZOpl-Q

All we have so far is talk on a forum, no newspapers or any kind of media source even mentioning him

This is true but there has been media links to unnamed middle eastern investors in the last two weeks.

so where did you get this Chinese blokes name from?

Chen Feng? Someone I know in the financial industry.

OK something for us to discuss. Lots of names have been bandied around and there seems to be lots of speculation. However, I believe the most serious interest is from a british consortium believe it or not. I believe today or tomorrow would be when any interest would be 'firmed' up. I.e. their bid accepted or rejected.

Now I remember seeing something on twitter a week ago from a normal fan talking about his good friend bidding for Villa. Now I thought nothing of it as I thought it was just someone on the wind up. I've spoken to this guy via DM on twitter and he has divulged quite a bit of information. It seems a very elaborate wind up if true, I mean on the scale of the Indian interest wind up!. HIs twitter handle is @chrisbarnes2610. Check his timeline out. He said he will give me a name once the bid is accepted (RL has until 5pm NY time today to respond to the bid). He said that way we will know he was not lying as it will probably come out in the papers in a couple of weeks.

He said there were 4 serious parties but only 2 remain including his friend. His friend is a Sri Lankan British citizen and is good friends with Roman Abrahamovic. He has an investment banker background and has 4 backers.

Now this could be a wind up and probably is! However, it is something and goes with the most credible info I have seen so far that the only real interest is British.

The guy says 2 out of 4 bidders dropped out because we signed Joe Cole. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous.

Yeah just saw that. Does not sound legit. Ah well.

Chen Feng is apparently the leading figure in the Chinese interest that MM referred to.

says who?
