I agree completely. Villa offers us much more than Shevchenko does, has more pace and is (right now at least) the more dangerous player for defenders to mark.
I'd like to know how long ago the last big Spanish import was, i'm guessing it was Mendieta about 5/6 years ago. Both the Italian & Spanish leagues have changed alot since then, so there's no reason why a Spanish player cannot now succeed in Italy.
Even if he didn't adapt, he'd still be young enough and have enough talent about him to recoup a good percentage of the money we would spend to get him in the first place.
