3. David Villa
Source: Daily Mail The most recent entry on the list came in January when Liverpool apparently made a move for Barcelona man David Villa. Villa was apparently frustrated with life at the Nou Camp, having to play second fiddle to Lionel Messi and not in his preferred position up front but on the wing. Liverpool looked to take advantage by lodging a loan bid for the Spaniard. This was ambitious to say the least. Villa may be unhappy but he does start for Barcelona quite often and being second fiddle to one of the greatest players ever cant be that bad. Villa is also on a staggering wage a week at Barcelona and the Catalan club would want at least half of this to be paid by Liverpool, something they simply could not justify. Barcelona are also set to win La Liga and are in with a good shout of the Champions League, there is simply more silverware potential at Barca. With Sturridge already through the door there was even a chance Villa wouldnt be first choice at Liverpool! This is one of the most far-fetched rumours of the lot, Villa starts for probably the best team in the world, Liverpool fans can only dream of the likes of Villa nowadays.
