English Premier League - transfer news

I was just reading thought the latest news from the London Times and if Inter Milan really are serious about offering Frank Lampard a 5 year contract then Chelsea should let him go. 5 years for a 30 year old player who hasn't been in top form in awhile is crazy and Inter Milan are nuts to go for it. What are they going to do with him when he is 34 or 35 and no longer near the player he once was?

Very interesting news coming from Liverpool as they are exploring the signing of David Villa, which would cost them a small fortune I'm sure. He seems to be an excellent player and would terrorize English and European defenses alongside Fernando Torres, but I still think Liverpool would need a right-sided creative midfielder or winger as Dirk Kuyt really is more of a central striker in my mind.

Arsenal also seem ready to sell Alexander Hleb to Barcelona, which I think would be a good move as I think they could use the inflated fee that they would get on a better player. If they can also get Tomas Rosicky healthy then they have already have a replacement.

Klaus Jan Huntelaar seems to be up for grabs and both Arsenal and Manchester United seem ready to buy. He's a player that I think will be an excellent buy for either team and could be the one to tip the title one way or another.
