    To think Burkinshaw went to sign Villa and got Adilles as the makeweight.
    What wouldn't I give for another event like that.

    Villa reminds me of Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider:

    Like klinsmann. I'd been on holiday and the first thing I heard on the radio in the car after leaving the airport was that we were close to signing Letchkov plus another I can't remember. I was fairly happy with that, we were pretty **** and Letchkov had just had a good World Cup. A day or 2 later Klinsmann was announced out of nowhere. Brilliant.
    Modric was also done on the sly and early. I don't remember even reading transfer rumours about it. It may well have still been may too

    Edit - just checked, late April for modders

    The closest I have come to this is VDV and Davids.

    What would be an equivelant now....

    Xavi and Pedro?

    Surely it was the other way round? Ardiles was the star of the world cup (behind Kempes etc) whereas Villa was unknown (only got in the squad I believe).

    I personally didn't think so. I was at the original final v City and he was useless, got taken off halfway through the second half having made no contribution. I was livid when he was picked for the replay, which explains why I am not a top manager and Burkinshaw was.

    "Dameow and Paulinho?"

    Yep, that would be quite close to the Ossie and Ricky signings.
