Dear Villa,
You ever heard the English phrase it never rains but it pours, David? Put simply it means when things go bad they often go really bad, and you my friend have got it bad. You must have despaired when you were refused a starting place for El Classico, but now you have even more pressing concerns.
For so long one of your greatest strengths has been your durability, for a small pacy striker like yourself to consistently stay fit is no easy task, but now the injury reaper has got you. Judging by early reports you face a lengthy spell on the sidelines and the possibility of missing Euro 2012. If truth be told La Roja need you more than the Blaugrana, because lets face it your country does not have as many options in strike as they do in midfield.
Your compatriot and friend Fernando is but a mere shadow of himself and still has not settled into his London surroundings. Llorente is talented and will provide the physical stature but he neither shares your mobility or big game pedigree. As for Negredo lets just say we do not want to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Which is why there is no time to be depressed hombre. You must focus all your energy and strength to be fit as fast as possible. Other players have come back from serious injury to be as good as before and you must aspire to be the same. For years you were criminally underrated until Euro 2008 provided you with the platform to explode onto the international scene. You enhanced your reputation at the World Cup then cemented it with your debut campaign with Barcelona. To make the European championships in Ukraine and Poland would rank among your greatest achievements and let me assure hombre, should you be in a reasonable shape come next summer, Del Bosque will not hesitate to select you. Such is your reputation and past service that you are your countries premier and therefore indispensable marksmen.
The jackals have been circling for some time hombre, forecasting your demise and disseminating rumors of a forced sale to a premier league club. Your injury woe will only act as fuel for the doomsayers. The onus is on you to prove them wrong and make sure your transition into the twilight of your career is as smooth as possible. Your predecessor Raul was as celebrated as yourself before being brutally ejected from his country and then his club. He is now in danger of fading into anonymity, avoiding a similar fate should be your burning ambition.
The true football fans amongst us have marveled at your ability to transform the job of scoring into a beautiful and natural art. Now is the time to summon your inner Zorro and come back stronger than ever. I wish you the best of luck with your recovery amigo, for fortune is a friend you need.
Adios for now hombre,
Chaitanya
