Baros set to quit Villa?

German Bundesliga side Hamburg SV have made an official ‘preliminary approach’ for Czech International Milan Baros.

A figure believed to be around the £8million mark has been tabled, which I’m sure Doug Ellis will be rubbing his hands about.

However, it is believed, according to Milan’s agent that he has no intention on quitting Villa, and I for one couldn’t see how Hamburg SV is a forward step for him at all.

Baros is set for talks with manager David O`leary next week and a decision should probably be made then.

Whilst £8million is nice, and I dare say a proportion (say, £2million) would be available to O`leary to purchase a few more Leeds players, I can’t see how we can call ourselves a forward thinking and forward planning club if we sell one of our best assets?
