David Villa

[Messi983]

Ibra was a guarantee to win domestic league titles (though to be fair he - except Man United - he always played in the best teams of their leagues at that time who would probably win league without him) but he was a fail in CL.

You're just salty that Ibra is better than anyone we bought to replace him.

He is a Real Madrid fan . Secondly Zlatan wasn't better than Villa in Barcelona . He doesn't even deserves a mention along with Suarez . Even Sanches did well than Zlatan in Barca .

Let's look at how he did in the six months actually playing striker

In his third appearance, he scored his first goal in Barcelona's La Liga season opener against Sporting Gijón in a 3–0 win. Ibrahimović went on to score in his next four games, thus setting a team record as the only player ever to score in his first five league matches.[75]

He finished with 11 goals and 4 assists in all but two of Barcelona's first 15 league matches. Barcelona capped off 2009 by winning the 2009 FIFA Club World Cup against Estudiantes on 19 December 2009.[78]

Ibrahimović scored Barcelona's only goal in the 2009–10 Copa del Rey first leg match of the round of 16 in a 2–1 loss to Sevilla on 5 January 2010. On 20 January, he was selected in the 2009 UEFA Team of the Year.[79] His first goal of 2010 came on 14 February against Atlético Madrid. In his next appearance, Ibrahimović scored against Stuttgart in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout stage fixture.

Oh and then in February pep stopped talking to him, benched him and played him wide. Yeah it's really his fault for that. Just because Messi wanted to play wide. Dw it's a good thing it didn't work out and we lost one of the best strikers I nthe world even if people are deluded not to believe that

He's leaving NYCFC after four years in MLS. 124 games, 80 goals.

Not retiring yet though, he'll be playing at least one more season.

Has to fulfil his destiny and join Madrid. Surely would have been the only player to play for all big 4 Spanish teams in recent memory.

Off to Japan. Joining Iniesta's club!

Those fans are lucky. Random club in Japan but able to see Iniesta, Poldi and Villa every other week.

Spain’s all-time leading goalscorer David Villa has announced he will retire from playing at the end of the Japanese season when he will be aged 38.

Underrated legend.

One of my favorite players. Glad we got to watch him in Barca.

Probably the one player I was always most jealous of Barca having snapped up before us.

 

[eaman]

Great player wherever he played. World class

Shame about that broken leg he suffered during the 2011 Club World Cup. Maybe a CL in 2012 possibly if it doesn't happen.
