Euro is a funny old thing. Sure players give their best for their country (or so they say) but it is also a period when clubs all over Europe check out the existing and emerging talent. Some players have already been spotted and the rumor mill is working overtime who will buy who and at what cost.

Chelsea might be considered the holy grail of clubs for any football manager or football player. Rare are the few that would say no to Roman Abramovich (or his money for that matter).

But David Villa, the brilliant Spanish striker is about to do just that. Villa who is currently playing for Valencia, would prefer to stay in Spain and if Real Madrid or Barcelona would made an offer this is what he would take.
In case any of the English clubs are interested Villa would like to go Arsenal rather then Chelsea.

Knowing Abramovich when he has his heart set on someone, he will spare no cost to get them. The deal is rumored to be 65 million pounds for Villa and his fellow countryman Torres. What is a few more millions?

I do wonder is this a brilliant tactic on behalf on Villa (which would be impressive for a football player) or he genuinely dislikes Chelsea’s style of play. Me thinks it might be a brilliant tactic after all.
