I agree. He'd be a great signing although I think Villa have missed the chance to get him. In the past summer it was possible but his perfomances this season so far have put him on the radar of teams around Europe that are simply in a better position than us at the moment to entice that kind of talent.
We've also been tenuously linked with Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo. I'm not so sure about all this lack of experience talk surrounding us (I think it's more quality that we're lacking in) but in his case he's 25 and won promotion with Celta vigo to La Liga last year. If he can perform in a scrappy promotion race, I would think he'd also be capable of performing in a dogfight at the bottom of a top league. This can also be seen by his 6 goals in 12 games for Celta Vigo so far this season - who, like us, sit just outside the relegation zone - contributing roughly 40% of all their league goals this season.
ESPN reported his agent saying he wouldn't leave until the summer but I never believe anything an agent says.
