VALENCIA COULD SELL VILLA AND SILVA

Valencia have conceded they may have to sell key duo David Villa and David Silva amid talk Manchester United are ready to reignite their interest in the pair.

The Spanish outfit have long-since been troubled financially but managed to fend off numerous suitors in the summer.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are known to be monitoring the situation closely, while in England the likes of United and Liverpool are thought to have registered tentative interest in the past.

Rafa Benitez has always been a fan of Silva but the financial problems at Anfield are likely to prohibit any deal.

Over at Old Trafford his counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson is not hamstrung in the same way, with the £80million sale of Cristiano Ronaldo meaning there is still a sizeable budget to play with.

While in the past Ferguson has stated he is content with the options already available to him, there have been rumours he may open the chequebook in the January transfer window.

Villa has previously indicated he would prefer to stay in Spain if he ever to leave Valencia, while Silva admitted in September that he had been the subject of a big bid from England in the summer.

Whether United, or indeed Liverpool, will make an offer in January is open to conjecture but it would seem Valencia are ready to discuss a possible sale.

Valencia sporting director Fernando Gomez told Las Provoncias TV: "If there was a moment that arrived that we cannot stand it any more, then of course we must sell and they [Villa & Silva] would be sold.

"We made a great effort in the summer to keep them, but if the economic situation continues, then things could become very serious.

"Still it was a success for us to keep them, because there was some large money offered to us."

Gomez stopped short though of saying a fresh offer had already been submitted, as he added: "We have not received an official offer for either Villa or Silva. I only know what has been said in the papers."

Unless we are getting a large chunk of the £80m sponsorship deal upfront (which I find unlikely) then I can't see us bidding for Villa and/or Silva.

Liverpool plan transfer swoop for £4million-rated Sampdoria star.

Liverpool are tracking Hungarian starlet Vladimir Koman.

Sampdoria midfielder Koman, currently on loan at Bari, caught the eye during the World Under-20 championships.

Koman, 20, has a reputation as a goalscoring midfielder, is under contract until 2012 and is valued in the £4million bracket.

m-in-action-article203475.html#at]Click here to watch see facts about Koman and watch him play for Hungary with Nemeth!! xD[/url]

Highlights make this guys look promising.

Looks to be in the Stevie G mould and has very quick feet. Looks like a steal @ £4m 

One for the future and hopefully Nemeth will convince him to come to Anfield.

You reckon he will need convincing to come here from Sampordia?

[Reg]

I love cryptic clues, should I read into that one that both Villa and Silva are coming to Liverpool??

[Benny The Noon]

Ok first of all what is the item in the picture Reg

[killerp]

if reports are to be suggested, we've got about £12m to spend in the january transfer window. now given the state of the squad, who would you like to see brought in with that money? realistic suggestions only please. obviously we're probably looking at a striker as a priority.

Why don't we the hire spies to infiltrate Arsene's Wengers scouting system & steal those gems that he keeps finding? At least they come cheap so if you do make mistakes you still have options!

[JamCar05]

I don't know if other people have posted about either player further back but how about we took a look at that Chamakh fella from Bordeaux or Pandev from Lazio? We really need some extra firepower upfront and both are good strikers out of contract next summer, so in reality they shouldn't be too expensive. I know Arsenal and lately also the mancs are supposedly interested in the first mentioned, whereas Inter are rumoured to be looking at Pandev, so it might not be too easy but we should at least have a chance to afford one of these two... maybe

I would be shocked if Arsene was signing players that we didn't know about.

[SouthCoastShankly]

Upson - £2m

[eonerf]

Any of the following:

Obafemi Martins
Martin Petrov
Matthew Upson
Kevin Nolan
Michael Johnson
Matthew Taylor
Steven Taylor
Ryan Shawcross
Benni McCarthy (probably past his prime though)

[slickrick]

sorry only getting to read through this thread now, find it hilarious what some people put on here, we've 12m to spend yet people looking for aguero and dzeko, and then someone wondering is huntelaar a midfielder or forward, alright now that i have that out of the way, the best option we should be looking at is marek hamsik who plays with napoli, i think this guy is quality and would be ideal for playing off the striker, load of creative ability, price could be a stumbling block though, 12m might not be enough

[NANNY RED]

Scott Parker

[lewerty]

thought thats why aqualini (spelling) was brought for we need pace on the wings and who can cross

[LFC2007]

Upson - £2m

Villa - £10m

[The Real Deal]
