Could be problems at valencia

[bobhorse]

Tomorrow seems to be D-Day for Valencia and will have a big bearing on whether they can keep hold of Silva and Villa.

Dispite the noises that have come out of Valencia about Villa Staying and there being no need to sell their best players now it seems that not all is well with the new rescue package that was meant to rescue the club and if they rule against the Club's rescue deal things might take a sudden turn for the worst

In which case we still cant afford Villa or Silva.

[El Rojo]

Whatever about Silva, it's all gone pretty quiet on Villa. Would have thought Barce or Real would have secured him by now.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see Chelsea make a play for him, now that City have taken every other striker off the market.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Villa is not a target of ours.

[El Rojo]

Villa is not a target of ours.

 

I realise that. It's been very quiet on him this lately though, considering the money flying around and his obvious quality. I assume he'll stay in Spain.

I personally don't think he is a target as it would mean a massive change in dynamics of the team, and I don't think he would like to play second fiddle to Nando, and is too good to have as a back up striker. I think Villa will stay at Valencia personally as I don't think anyone will pay the huge amount Valencia will want for him.

He's got nowhere to go now has he. Barca have Ibrawhatever and Madrid have Benzema. His latest interviews in the spanish press have been of the "I never said I wanted to leave Valencia" variety. So reading between the lines...

Have they really? I haven't seen confirmation of that deal (admittedly I've not looked at a paper in the last few days!)

True, they are still waiting for Eto'o to confirm.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Guardiola was urging Eto'o to accept the deal earlier.

Guardiola was urging Eto'o to accept the deal earlier.

 

No surprises there, it's the second year he's tried to get shot. There was an interview and they asked him why he wanted rid of Eto'o? He said because of a "feeling", they said yes but what reason, Trouble in the dressing room? No. Under performance? No. What reason? A feeling.

 

Odd.

 

It's all quite amusing really. They low balled him a new contract. So he refused to take any of their calls and is now taking his own good time in hooking up with Inter. All the while Guardiola is spitting blood at La Porta for not getting the new signings in yet. And Eto'o strings out talks with Inter another day.

 

Class.

[George Costanza]

i'm astounded neither Barca or Real have bought Villa.

[shaunstrudwick]

i would love both Silva and Villa to join us

 

neither of whom have to report for pre season until next week....

[RedKnight]

Get some oranges in cheap now.

[Red Nick]

IMO we wont be signing Silva for cash unless we sell Xabi

[Funkasy]

didnt the yanks sell something over in the states so they have some money to splash now ?

 

must be wishful thinking.

[gingerhulk]

the manc twats have been linked with villa, well Guillem Balague is reporting it on his web site.

Yep Gillett sold his hockey apparently has 200m US burning a hole in his pocket!

No he hasn't - much of it was accounted for by other debts before he even has to address the issue of the RBS/Wachovia sureties for refinancing (they want cash upfront - no letters of credit etc). The Canadian papers say the sale won't be finalised until sometime in August anyway.

 

Meanwhile, Tom Hicks is having a garage sale as no-one seems to want his teams or remaining companies, having dissolved HSG...a gang of creditors and investment bankers wielding pitchforks and torches were last seen scouring downtown Houston for him...he currently owes and has defaulted upon almost $600m worth of debt in the USA alone.

[Maschedpotatoes]

I would have liked to see Liverpool sign Silva and at the start of the summer it looked extremely likely, but now I can't see him joining us this summer especially as he would probably cost in the 20mil region and that is far too much money for us to be spending after signing Johnson for 17mil, unless of course we sold xabi alonso for 35mil but that too is a deal in doubt of happening now so I guess it is all up in the air really.

Only going by what I read over here.

The media just as per usual could see Gillett getting some cash and just link it with Liverpool as its lazy journolism and might shift a few papers.

 

The reality is that Gillett has a Nascar business that needs investment and has various car dealerhips across America that are desperate for an injection of cash.

 

Hicks sold a rodeo business not long since but other then that is struggling to sell anything.

 

He recently defaulted once more on his loan in America but as they keep saying 'that is seperate from Liverpool'.

It was an american mag that didn't even mention us. It just said he was going through some portfolio re-planning, had sold for 250m and had 200m net to reinvest across his portfolio. There was no spin, they were just filling a couple of column inches.

Well without knowing what the captial requirements are for us, it's difficult to know if that's material or not.

Well to be fair it is separate from us.

[Unrighteous]

Hicks/Gillett may be fucking snakes, but they aren't retarded. They have their assets in seperate holdings that limit their liability.

 

Those business have debts, then they can only be seized from within their specific holding company.

 

Even if Hicks defaulted on everything and lost all his business ventures bar Liverpool, it wouldn't effect Liverpool directly at all.

 

It would only limit Hicks' overall worth and ability to invest in Liverpool.

 

Both Hicks and Gillett have gone 'bankrupt' before and total investment cowboys. That, seriously, doesn't bode well for Liverpool, because with their history, when the 'going gets tough' they let the business go into administration and walk away to start over with some other business.

[Carra_is_legend]

As if they will do that even if their other businesses are doing well.
