The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 coach has stated that the Catalan club are not willing to sell their star Spanish striker and want to retain the striker’s offerings.
Since the arrival of Tito Vilanova to the helm of the Catalan club’s managerial responsibilities, the hard time for record holding http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 striker David Villa was immediately on the cards.
Under the management of previous Blaugrana coach Pep Guardiola, David Villa was seen as one of the first names on the team sheet of the Catalan club. However, after suffering from a career threatening injury in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2011, Villa’s fortunes
have taken the downwards route.
When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 returned to action after recovering from the broken tibia, no longer was Pep Guardiola in charge of the Blaugranas and Tito Vilanova had been handed over the reins of the successful club.
With Vilanova came his own philosophies and selection criteria. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 were always given the nod over the services of David Villa and the Aging, yet brilliant striker, had a hard task at his hands to win back his starting berth.
The Spanish start never disappointed whenever given the opportunity and made his case strong with fine performances, even when entering the fray from the bench. In short, Villa scored.
What Vilanova demands is however something that Villa doesn’t understand and the thin thread holding the relationship between the two looks to snap sooner rather than later.
The Barcelona board have however denied any such rumours and they insist that Villa’s services will be retained.
In the past month or so, Arsenal have shaped up as the favourites to sign Villa for the Gunners but now the French tactician has stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are not in any position willing to let go of the Spaniard striker.
"Barca do not want to sell David Villa. They've made that very clear," Wenger told reporters. When asked if there was any room for negotiation, he replied: "No."
"What's important is to buy players who can strengthen the squad. Otherwise, you do nothing. We have enough numbers, quality strikers," the 63-year-old added.
Barcelona’s goalkeeper Victor Valdez is also believed to be looking for a way out of the club as he has refused to sign a contract extension with the Camp Nou outfit.
