They've lined up three players they really want, Rossi Fabregas and Sanchez. Rossi can play that central role rather well, and Messi when he's played in the middle has played better in that position than i've ever seen anyone else do when he does it. As good as Villa is, he wouldn't be too missed at barca if they sold him.
Can't see him leaving though, and certainly can't see teams wanting to pay in excess of £40million for a guy approaching his 30s. Sergio Aguero might be more realistic.
A few years ago i would have said yes but the fee thats been bandied around of £40 million now its a massive no from me, theres no resale value and if he doesn't settle we would have wasted all that money.
Villa doesn't play as a striker for Barca. He plays on the left of a forward three (kind of).
---Villa------------------------------------------------------Pedro
----------------------------------Messi
-----------Iniesta----------------Busquets-------Xavi
If Barca were to sign Sanchez, I think he would eventually work his way into the team and displace Villa. Pedro would move to the left and Sanchez would move to the right. Pedro is extremely underrated, he won't be dropped.
If they sign Fabregas, he will warm their bench. That's why I think he'll stay at Arsenal until Xavi gets closer to the end of his career.
OP forgot about Pedro and Jeffren
Villa would be better than Torres IMO, think you need to look at signing this class of player as both Anelka & Drogba are getting on
It's just amazing to me that Barcelona have so many great players they can afford to let Villa leave. They are a class above everyone else right now - that's for sure. But I would still think Villa would be worth buying for Chelsea even if he's 28 or 29. There are very few world class players who are ever on the market - and we have to take advantage when the chance arises.

Because Villa is so young, given he's turning 30 this year?
Exactly BK, Villa is never worth that money at his age.
if we were talking 10-15m he would be worth it for a couple os years. but in reality we should have many younger and better targets in mind
NO to Villa. I'm sorry I'd rather not see us spend 40M on someone who's 30 and hasn't even had a great season. There are far better buys out there.
I´d rather buy Aguerro any day.
40 million for a 30 year old Villa ? No ta.
Another player approaching 30? just what we need
