Yeah, Villa's a huge loss for sure. Such a big player for them at the World Cup. Was kind of surprised Torres was given the nod ahead of Llorente or Negredo, to be honest. Neither are anywhere near as good as him technically, but they're both flying after great seasons, and probably would have tucked away one of the chances he scuppered.
