According to the page, Villa is a Barelona player, however on Barcelona's website from "18.05.2010 13:33", it says that "There’s no date been fixed yet, but we’ll sign him when it’s best for our club”. Until the transfer is completed, Villa is still a Valencia player. Can this be changed back, but monitored, as the transfer is likely to be completed relatively soon? Thanks. —Preceding

Technically, Villa is still a Valencia player, because although both teams have reached an agreement, they have NOT signed the contract yet. This will probably happen tomorrow, Friday, if the player passes the medical exam in Barcelona. But if this does not happen, Villa would still be a Valencia player. So AT THIS MOMENT, he is still a Valencia player.
It would be correct to write something like: "currently plays at Valencia, but this team has reached an agreement with Barcelona to trade him". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.42.123.112 ( talk) 20:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

The article does not need COI, check up on the revision dating back to September 16 2009 (when it was upgraded to "Good Article" status) and you will see that the article is in nearly identical condition.

Some official sources say Villa has 44 goals, the journalists in Spain insist he has 43. This is because of a goal he scored against Poland which was given to Villa, despite many journalists considering the goal being an own goal by Polish centre back Dariusz Dudka. Officially, Villa has 44 goals. There was also another goal which created a polemic, it was a goal against Latvia in 2006/2007 (can't remember exactly) some sources considered the goal to be scored by Villa, and was originally considered part of his goal record, but later removed, as it was actually an own goal. If both the Poland and Latvia goals were included, Villa would be top scorer on his own. DVilla21 ( talk) 15:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

From what I understand of what is written on this article, Villa has made 8 goals in 11 world cup games. That`s an impressive 0,727 ratio. Ronaldo has made 15 goals in 19 world cup games, though. That`s a 0,789 ratio. And, let`s not forget, he played one final right after having a seizure! As the article is blocked, I ask that someone change the last phrase of the 3rd paragraph to exclude this wrong information. By the way, the link that is supposed to back the info is broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.122.131.75 ( talk) 23:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

You've got to be kidding, right ? You cannot include the goals scored in the youth leagues in his professional goals list. Those must be excluded, those 25 goals cannot be counted. There can be off course a reference in the page but no way in the career statistics. Otherwise, all the goals from reserve teams and all the friendlies must be counted too...
"On 28 May 2010 he scored....", when it should read "On 28 May 2011 he scored...." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.239.61.239 ( talk) 23:59, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
The "Club statics table" says that David Villa has scored 271 goals in 544 matchew so far (sec. 5.1). But the "Carrer totals table" (sec. 5.3) is not updated and it says he has scored 242 goals in 465 matches with club. Therefore, in the same table, the total of his goals including the ones with Spain is wrong too. Hope you can fix it soon.

In the article's lede, it says that "The goals-to-games ratio he has achieved for the national team has not been matched by any player since Alfredo Di Stéfano".
Actually, this is technically incorrect unless you introduce a minimum criteria for how many caps one should have played before applying a ratio-based statistical comparison with other players. For instance, a player who scores two goals in his first three caps has a higher ratio than Villa. Mario Gaspar of Villareal comes to mind here. OscarL 16:09, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

David Villa has been the subject of sexual harassment accusations dating back to his time at NYCFC. An investigation by NYCFC found that inappropriate behaviour took place, and though it did not name David Villa, it was in direct response to these allegations. An article by The Athletic goes into further detail of the behaviour David Villa is accused of, including evidence and wider corroboration from contemporary sources. I think the personal life section of David Villa should be updated to reflect the allegations made against him, in line with numerous reputable media sources now reporting it:
https://theathletic.com/2213536/2020/11/23/david-villa-nycfc-alleged-harassment/
This could be written as follows:
In the summer of 2020, David Villa was accused of sexual harassment that took place during his time at NYCFC. A subsequent NYCFC investigation found that "inappropriate and unacceptable" behavior took place, though Villa was not mentioned by name. Villa maintains the allegations are "untrue".

Technically, Villa is still a Valencia player, because although both teams have reached an agreement, they have NOT signed the contract yet. This will probably happen tomorrow, Friday, if the player passes the medical exam in Barcelona. But if this does not happen, Villa would still be a Valencia player. So AT THIS MOMENT, he is still a Valencia player.
It would be correct to write something like: "currently plays at Valencia, but this team has reached an agreement with Barcelona to trade him". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.42.123.112 ( talk) 20:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

The article does not need COI, check up on the revision dating back to September 16 2009 (when it was upgraded to "Good Article" status) and you will see that the article is in nearly identical condition. It's silly if anyone really thinks David Villa has time to edit this with such good English. DVilla21 ( talk) 22:00, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't know the first thing about soccer (football). Is David Villa the top scorer or second place? I'm seeing conflicting edits on here, and only way is correct. Someone figure it out, then watch for changes to the contrary.-- Mblumber ( talk) 03:50, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
I will have a look in a bit but I think he is now joint top scorer, this is the reason we don't add stuff that is constantly changing. Off2riorob ( talk) 06:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Some official sources say Villa has 44 goals, the journalists in Spain insist he has 43. This is because of a goal he scored against Poland which was given to Villa, despite many journalists considering the goal being an own goal by Polish centre back Dariusz Dudka. Officially, Villa has 44 goals. There was also another goal which created a polemic, it was a goal against Latvia in 2006/2007 (can't remember exactly) some sources considered the goal to be scored by Villa, and was originally considered part of his goal record, but later removed, as it was actually an own goal. If both the Poland and Latvia goals were included, Villa would be top scorer on his own. DVilla21 ( talk) 15:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Please update the pictures on this web page! The profile picture and other pictures on the page are quite dated. Can you upload one of Villa from FC Barcelona? Daylife has a good archive of photos of him. For example: http://www.daylife.com/photo/09uK3VGeW3es5?q=David+Villa.
Thank you so much. PUXA GUAJE! VISCA BARCA!

From what I understand of what is written on this article, Villa has made 8 goals in 11 world cup games. That`s an impressive 0,727 ratio. Ronaldo has made 15 goals in 19 world cup games, though. That`s a 0,789 ratio. And, let`s not forget, he played one final right after having a seizure! As the article is blocked, I ask that someone change the last phrase of the 3rd paragraph to exclude this wrong information. By the way, the link that is supposed to back the info is broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.122.131.75 ( talk) 23:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Where are the references to goals from David in the Segunda Division B and the Copa del Rey?. The División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol is professional?-- Carlosaguila87 ( talk) 22:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
You've got to be kidding, right ? You cannot include the goals scored in the youth leagues in his professional goals list. Those must be excluded, those 25 goals cannot be counted. There can be off course a reference in the page but no way in the career statistics. Otherwise, all the goals from reserve teams and all the friendlies must be counted too...
"On 28 May 2010 he scored....", when it should read "On 28 May 2011 he scored...." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.239.61.239 ( talk) 23:59, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
The "Club statics table" says that David Villa has scored 271 goals in 544 matchew so far (sec. 5.1). But the "Carrer totals table" (sec. 5.3) is not updated and it says he has scored 242 goals in 465 matches with club. Therefore, in the same table, the total of his goals including the ones with Spain is wrong too. Hope you can fix it soon.

In the article's lede, it says that "The goals-to-games ratio he has achieved for the national team has not been matched by any player since Alfredo Di Stéfano".
Actually, this is technically incorrect unless you introduce a minimum criteria for how many caps one should have played before applying a ratio-based statistical comparison with other players. For instance, a player who scores two goals in his first three caps has a higher ratio than Villa. Mario Gaspar of Villareal comes to mind here. OscarL 16:09, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Villa has spent a good part of his career playing as a left winger - all of his contract for Barcelona and many games for Spain, including the 2010 World Cup. For that reason, I think "winger" should be added to his position in the article. -- 5.12.23.40 ( talk) 02:54, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

David Villa has been the subject of sexual harassment accusations dating back to his time at NYCFC. An investigation by NYCFC found that inappropriate behaviour took place, and though it did not name David Villa, it was in direct response to these allegations. An article by The Athletic goes into further detail of the behaviour David Villa is accused of, including evidence and wider corroboration from contemporary sources. I think the personal life section of David Villa should be updated to reflect the allegations made against him, in line with numerous reputable media sources now reporting it:
https://theathletic.com/2213536/2020/11/23/david-villa-nycfc-alleged-harassment/
This could be written as follows:
In the summer of 2020, David Villa was accused of sexual harassment that took place during his time at NYCFC. A subsequent NYCFC investigation found that "inappropriate and unacceptable" behavior took place, though Villa was not mentioned by name. Villa maintains the allegations are "untrue".
