InMyHeart Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 WE'VE GOT DAVID FKN VILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Bought FIFA 15 this morning. Playing as Melbourne City instead of Melbourne Heart is taking some getting used to. But having David Villa up front is pretty fucking awesome. The guy is unstoppable in the A League. Let's hope it's the same in real life! It's still so crazy seeing him in the game in a Melbourne City jersey and remembering that he's actually going to play for us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought out all the Melbourne City badges that were on market (about 4) for roughly 300 coins each then sold them for 3000 coins each. #tradingwithstrider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interstatefan Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Cheers, obviously where I read it from was a bit over the top possibly. as the story says it would be different if he was a defender. Just a shame the club has been very sheepish on the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attack11 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Given that tomorrow is Melbourne City's membership day and Tuesday 7th Oct is the official season launch I'm sure will here more about Villa and his arrival. Villa will only be here for a short time I don't think JVS will have any structure built around him, his job will be to get on the end of our attacking play .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 All of this is a bit absurd really. Surely there must be a contract that deals with his involvement with Melbourne City - whatever it is - and those details must be known to both Melbourne and New York. It's just that no-one is telling us what those details are. There has never been a statement from Melbourne City specifying the duration of his stay, or the terms of it (loan or guest). It's all just speculation. I'm not sure that that's good for our club, but that's the way it seems to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Considering the fact that it wasn't long ago that even the thought of a player such as Villa coming to Australia gave reason to give yourself a mental slap to wake up makes me realise just how far the league has come over the last few years. When I read the statement by the club that he is coming next Tuesday I couldn't help but smile. The sheer amazement that we can have a player that has just finished at the very top of the game with one of the best international teams in the world and one of the best club teams in the world play for us even for ten games is incredible. And I would rather he turns up five days prior to the season for our team than for someone else's team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 A cheeky couple of goals in the derby and little Davey Villa can have my babies! Watch him create havoc! Would have preferred him earlier but who gives a shit if he is only here 5 days before the first match, this bloke doesn't need match practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interstatefan Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Agree with many of the above comments, after following his career in Laliga most notably for Barcelona I am very much looking forward to seeing him on the pitch. He's been training over in NY so I don't think it's an issue really. At the very minimum give him 20 minutes in round 1 and he'll probably score the winner anyway. Can't wait!

Remember, as we understand it, he's here as a guest player. A guest player can feature in a maximum of 10 matches. Each time he's in the actual matchday squad that counts as a match. You don't waste a bloke like Villa sitting on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
