At his age, and taking into account his recent leg break, i am not too sure he will be as effective in the rough and tumble of the Premiership.
Not to mention the salary he would be on, making him impossible to get rid of for the duration of his contract, if it all goes pear-shaped.
the rough and tumble argument of the premiership is outdated. if the player is quality, the premiership will be no problem for him. not to mention, how rough is the premiership these days...
villa is class. much better than what we already got. the alternative is no one. yet some of you don't want us to sign him. crazy.
I don't think anybody here has said that. It's just that some of us have reservations regarding his ability to be a success here due to the reasons outlined. We all still want Wenger to buy but we would prefer someone else eg Jovetic, Cavani, Falcao, etc however unrealistic that sounds.
Failing that, pay for an established Ba, buy a Diame or find a Michu and we all will be happier.
As to the premiership no longer being rough, i beg to differ, but that's a major discussion point on it's own.
