Endangered Dave Villa



An innate problem in the Cosmic inter-dimensional web of destiny mechanism theory is its innocence and thereby vulnerability to abuse by malicious intent for evil causes. Case in point : Wretched fortune of erstwhile Dangerous Dave Villa... After eliciting a chorus of Hallelujah's as the magical missing piece in the Barca puzzle after Ibra's unceremonious fvckoffing, and regaling viewers with a season of visual perfection and clockwork grana (as close to orange as I can get with Barcelonic pun...), a stunning world cup, and even a really cute new hairstyle (which I'll forgive despite blatant copying from me...except for the part that his looks nice...and cost 500$, exactly 499.5$ more than mine, at current dollar rates of course...I'm not that cheap)- suddenly some malevolent force has just about pricked every possible pin into his voodoo doll. His regular absence in the team this season has been my constantly bleated opinion of what's wrong with Barca and why they will probably end up losing the league, the fact that it's because of a lopsided formation designed to absorb Cesc is just more salt and Ajinomoto on oozing pus and gangrene. Just when I thought he was being saved up to come and rescue Barca when they really needed it, he gets sent to Japan and breaks his leg.

Barca deserve it, they've really tempted fate by flirting with this doomed Cesc force fittation for too long, but Spain don't deserve it. Euro up next year, and that most definitely means a race Villa can't possibly win what with the T.B.A on his Tibia diagnosis. Torres must be smiling away, with his equally disastrous bunch of years (could it just be... ever since he left Atletico hmmmmm???? Asshole.), and stat-whores will immediately start asking why top scoring Spaniard Soldado isn't in the squad, which no amount of Valencia-fanaticism will make me endorse. He's a good player, but not Furia Roja first XI by any stretch. Although given Valencia gameplay, he would be so much more at home starting for Spain than Torres, Llorente or Negredo. Although I do wonder if Villa's absence gives an opening for an extra Midfielder instead, with attacking MFs like Silva, Mata, and Cazorla desperately trying to crack into the XI. Since I'd play Silva anyway, regardless of this contingency, my bet is on Pedro - his goal threat of the last two seasons has been spit on this year by Pep and his consistent overlooking, but he is pretty much Villa's direct replacement in the new avatar Villa played for Barca as left wing rather than Center FW. Not just because it sounds cool and is in vogue, but for genuine lack of options I'd like to see Pedro right, Mata left, Silva false 9 in front of Xavi-Iniesta on a Busquets anchor. Peace.
