'Villa is a very good striker and he has the quality to establish himself in the Premier League, Middlesbrough are already in talks with Notts County about the transfer of the Spanish striker, and he will definitely wear the Middlesbrough shirt to help the team in the Premier League during the winter break. McLaren swore to his chest as if the transfer had been fully finalized.

Journalists, naturally, are not so easily fooled.

"Villa has just moved from Spain this season, and it's only been half a season, can Notts County let him go?" A reporter asked in surprise.

'If Notts County were a Premier League team, maybe Villa would have stayed there, but don't forget, Notts County is only a League Two team and between the Premier League and League Two teams, I'm sure Villa will make the right choice. As for Notts County, I don't think they would have been able to turn down our offer. McClaren's words still did not take Notts County into account, the implication was that the two clubs were not comparable at all, and Notts County could not keep Villa at all.

When the news that Middlesbrough wanted to buy Villa appeared in the newspaper, it immediately caused a lot of reactions.

The Notts County player that Middlesbrough fans hated the most was Villa, because the Spanish striker scored a hat-trick on Middlesbrough, stabbing three times in a row, and it was bloody.

But it would have been nice if the rival had become a player for his own team, so the Middlesbrough players praised the club's decision and were optimistic that Villa would not be able to refuse Middlesbrough's temptation.

Notts County fans are more angry, their excellent strikers are being remembered by others, which makes them very worried, after all, the opponent is a Premier League team, and the attraction to the player is extremely huge.

Of course, they are not afraid that the team will be impressed by Middlesbrough's offer, and they know that the club are not short of money now.

So outside the training base in Notts County, countless fans held up banners every day, chanting Villa's name, hoping that he would not be tempted to stay with the team.

And many reporters are also chasing the young striker who scored a hat-trick against the Premier League team, blocking the training base in the hope of interviewing him, making Villa's head go big every day.

In fact, this incident seems very funny to Villa, he knows that his excellent performance may impress some clubs, but now no team has come to him, including Middlesbrough, is it just because the opposing club has praised them in the media, saying that he wants to play for their club, he has to go up and down the pole to hug their thighs?

Asked by reporters every day when he would transfer to Middlesbrough, whether he would be excited about the transfer to a Premier League team, and whether he would be afraid of the competition in the Premier League, the tireless Villa had no choice but to come to David's office.

Seeing David's helpless and tired look, David regretted a little, because he ignored the impact that this incident could have, and if the club had made a statement earlier, maybe this matter would have disappeared long ago.

However, he wanted to hear Villa's opinion now.

"Sir, these reporters are so annoying, I can't stand them who are more annoying than flies." Villa didn't have a polite deal with David because he knew David wasn't the traditional club president. "Did the club receive an offer from Middlesbrough?"

David nodded expressionlessly and said, "That's right, Middlesbrough made an offer, but let me throw it in the trash directly!" ”

Villa's eyes widened as if he had heard something incredible.

He knew that his group of players were personally invited by David and would not be sold to other clubs easily, and he himself had no intention of leaving the team, but he was still depressed by David's words.

"If you don't plan to sell it, I'll refuse it quickly, what's going on if you don't care about it, if you refuse it earlier, you won't be tortured by reporters for so many days!"

At this time, he looked at David with resentment in his eyes, which lingered.

'Every single one of you was personally invited by me in the summer and I want you to stay at the club forever, although I know it's a bit unrealistic, but we're going to work towards that, so I'd like to hear your thoughts, would you be interested in an invitation from Middlesbrough?' David sat down on the sofa for a long time and said softly.

Villa scratched his head and said with a smile: "At least I don't have the idea of leaving the team yet, especially to a club that has lost under him, I believe that Notts County will definitely become a Premier League powerhouse, I am willing to work with the club to create miracles, maybe one day I will leave, but I will definitely not go to any English team, I will choose to return to Spain!" ”

That's what Villa really thinks, and although he hasn't been in Notts County for less than half a season, he can feel that it's an unusual club and he loves to be here.

David is relieved that although Notts County are still very weak now, with these players, who dares to say that they will not create a miracle in the future.

"I can assure you that as long as you don't offer to leave, Notts County will never sell you to any club!" David was unequivocal.

A short conversation, the guests and the host were happy.

After sending Villa away, David narrowed his eyes, but he was determined in his heart that he still wanted to continue to teach McLaren to be a man.

As Villa walked out of the training ground, he was once again surrounded by reporters, the microphone almost reaching his nostrils.

"Where are you in the deal to move to Middlesbrough? Has it been finalized? ”

"McLaren said he wanted to groom you to be Boksic's successor, what do you think about that?"

"I heard that Middlesbrough offered you a weekly salary that you can't refuse, is it convenient for you to disclose it?"

In the past few days, Villa pushed away the reporters without saying a word, and left under the entanglement of the reporters, but today he stayed where he was.

"Please don't ask me about moving to Middlesbrough, I hereby state for the record, I am a player for Notts County, I have a contract with Notts County, I also like to stay in Notts County, I don't want to go to Middlesbrough and the club will not sell me to Middlesbrough, it's that simple!" With that, Villa turned around and left without hesitation, leaving only a group of reporters looking at each other.

Nearby fans cheered loudly at the words of Villa, who expressed their loyalty to the team, perhaps just official words, but at least they believed that Villa would not be gone.
