Day Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Striker Emanuel Villa could be heading out of Pride Park only a year after joining Derby County in a £2m deal. Uncertainty has surrounded the 26-year-old’s future at the club and there was talk of him returning to South America in the transfer window. Now it seems the Argentinian is attracting interest from Greece and Switzerland. It is likely any move would be a loan with a view to a permanent deal. Villa was signed from Mexican club UAG Tecos by former Rams boss Paul Jewell in January last year and has a contract until 2011. He made 16 appearances in the Premier League and scored three goals but has struggled for a place this season. He has started only one of the last 14 matches – the defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on December 9. Villa had a run in the side earlier this season and scored six goals, four of them in the Carling Cup, including a hat-trick at Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 We need a decent amount for this lad and not pittance. Come the summer, get new players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Heard this aswell, to be honest I wouldnt mind seeing him leave. With Hulse, Ellington, Dickinson and Varney I think we can afford to lose him if it means getting some funds in to get the midfield sorted.

Derbiean Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I feel that given we didn't sign that O'Shea lad we won't signing anyone til the summer and only when this current squad has been culled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have a feeling we will get one in before or after the Coventry game, with Barnes going I think Cloughie must have someone in mind to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
