David Villa from memory was close and one of those regular ongoing sagas that turn to nothing under enic.18 months ago having Hojberg, Perisic etc coming off the bench to support the younger guys was great.
I get your point but the "we should have got Eto but got Pav and Bent instead" just doesn't stack up. Apples vs oranges etc.
A better example is one of the many times we've heard we're just a few million short and dilly dally around and end up losing the player (or weeks of bedding them in during pre-season).
He might have stunk of the PL. But at the time I was super pumped to be "getting" him. Eased the concern of losing elite players like Keane and Berbatov.
Getting a relatively unseen Pav and Fraser Campbell to replace them was one of the thousands of let downs we've had the last 20 years
