Villa watches reds victory!!

[Kingkenny]

Valencia striker David Villa was spotted in the Anfield director's box for Liverpool's 3-0 defeat of Bolton Wanderers this week.

Villa has been linked with Liverpool and manager Rafa Benitez admitted his admiration for the prolific striker last week, though denied plans of a January offer for the Spain international. Villa attended the game on Monday as the guest of one of Liverpool's Spanish players, rather than being invited by the club.

The Spaniard is on the Benitez's wanted list but, for now, remains a distant target. The forward may have taken the opportunity to sample the Anfield experience on Monday - a process facilitated by his friendship with players such as Jose Manuel Reina and Fabio Aurelio, his former Valencia team-mate - but Benitez is well aware that the Spanish club's president, Juan Soler, is fiercely opposed to Villa's sale, even if Liverpool were willing to smash their existing transfer record by offering about £25 million for him.

I think the other Spanish lads being at the Club would help him settle in, but isnt he the homebird who said he never would leave Spain???
