REPORTS: RVP SWAP DEAL FOR DAVID VILLA

Higuain is quality. The most clinical striker in world football imo.

Nah, he's already world class imo. He's just not a realistic target, Barca wouldn't sell him anyway.

We won't sign another striker imo. I'd like to see us sign a top class attacking midfielder and a versatile defender.

Falcao is the most clinical striker in the world, Saint.

I'm not Saint.

I'm Saint and so is my wife.

Podolski is not a replacement for Theo. He is a replacement for Arshavin.

Vela, Chamakh, Bendtner, Park are all failed in the league and on the way out. So no, Giroud was never meant to be a replacement for RVP.

I believe the plan was for RVP to stay a year and for us to sign Llorente on a pre-contract ie free next season. That would have allowed Giroud to settle and there would have been little pressure on Llorente to perform immediately for the 2013-14 season.

RVP was obviously aware of this and knows he won't get the sort of money Man City has promised him this year when he is 30. RVP is trying to leverage his 30+ season. Now obviously Arsene has been thrown a curve ball by the negative reaction by the supporters. It was bound to happen and perfectly calculated by his agent.

So we must replace RVP with someone of equal reputation. I just don't that would be David Villa unless he has recovered 100%.

It's twitter, ergo rubbish

David Villa wasn't having a good time at Barca, everything plays through Messi and he just wasn't fitting the system well, he was even more pushed out when Cesc was bought!

I can see him leaving Barca this year, maybe not to Arsenal but somewhere!

almost every comment by an arsenal fan on there is slating the rumour

Villa to PSG most likely
