It's official. For the next four seasons at least, David Villa will be a Barcelona player after signing from Valencia for €40million. Pep Guardiola and Joan Laporta have moved swiftly to ensure that Barca will have the most feared frontline in football once the 2010/2011 season kicks off. Not even Florentino will be able to match that this summer. Taking into account Titi Henrys probable exit, Villa joins Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Bojan and Pedro in a mouthwatering array of striking riches. How will Pep fit them all into his plans? With Pedro a nailed-on starter, young Bojan looks set for another year of benchwarming, while big Zlatan must be fearing for his on/off place in the team after a largely uninspiring debut season. But Pep's got a whole summer to ponder that one over. My one worry about Villa? His age. Has he already peaked? Fingers crossed the best is still to come. Tomorrow the Spanish number '7' will undergo the medical before being unveiled before the fans in the Camp Nou on friday afternoon. Next on the list: Cesc Fabregas.
