Talk:David Villa

Debut goals

Villa scored two goals, the first time in 72 years that a player scored twice in his debut World Cup game. <-- Do you mean Spanish player? Tim Cahill (Australia) for one scored two in his world cup debut.

Liverpool Transfer Source?

Is there any? Should be deleted. Senseless. This isn't a tabloid. Audioweevil 03:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Audioweevil

Why does my stuff always get deleted? I have only stated the truth that David Villa is wanted by Liverpool and that he was at the Liverpool vs Bolton game on the 1^st of January!

Benitez already said he isn't interested in buying Villa and Valencia have already said they will NOT sell Villa this transfer period. By the way, Villa was a guest of his good friend Pepe Reina, not the club itself.

He is currently one of the most well-known strikers in world football?

Really? I don't think so, he's not at the same level yet with other strikers such as henry, eto'o, ronaldo, owen, etc in term of reputation NOT abilities. I think this should be removed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Svdragunov (talk • contribs).

  He is not a blue, also he mentioned wanting to play for Liverpool as well, include the whole article or I will edit it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.90.59.54 (talk) 18:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC) 

He is an Evertonian

why no mention for his boyhood love Everton F.C, it is widely known that he is a blue.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.67.227 (talk)

Well if you can give us a reference or a source then it can go in the article. However, due to the controversial nature of the comment, it would not be allowed in the article without a good source behind it. If you can send a link to a reputable website that shows good evidence, it might be allowed into the article. - T. Moitie ^[talk] 18:04, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Transfer Rumours

Why delete my part about the many clubs linked with Villa? I had links to back it all up, and someone coming to the page to find out about Villa should know of all the clubs chasing him Red&White4life (talk) 07:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Because Wikipedia is not about rumours, conjecture, speculation nor non notable events. Providing a source does not automatically make it acceptable, it must also conform to criteria for inclusion, particularly in the case of Biographies of Living Persons and the source must be reliable - as per WP:RS. Most speculation about links to clubs are made up by media sources, and exaggerated beyond belief. Any professional footballer is being 'watched' by many clubs at any time, that is what scouts do, and it is not notable. Media journalists ask leading questions and extrapolate a story from that. Ask any manager if they would like to have Ronaldinho in their side, most will say "of course, he is a great player". That is then immediately reported next day as "<Club> to swoop for Ronaldinho". The BBC, Telegraph, Mirror etc. may be generally reliable with real news, but are also not immune to artistic license when it comes to current event hype for their publications. They, however, operate under different guidelines. Possible transfers may be human interest content, but they are not encyclopaedic, and Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. If someone wishes to know what Villa has achieved, this is the right place to come. If they are interested in the rumour, speculation and gossip, or what he may do in the future, they should seek a tabloid newspaper or a blog. --ClubOranje^Talk 09:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
