Exactly, it was the early part of this decade. Since then both the leagues in question have changed and i for one think that Serie A will now be easier for a Spaniard to handle than it used to be.
Besides, Villa seemed to do ok against Inter in the CL last season

Don't you think we should be aiming higher than this? I'm not asking or indeed expecting us to buy megastar after megastar, but there is definately room for improvement over those names.
There's buying players who won't rock the boat and are the easy option, like Emerson, Motta & Cannavaro. None of which will improve the squad a great deal. Then there's the alternative of buying younger & hungrier players who will offer us more in the long term, like Taiwo, Lucho Gonzalez, Pasqual, Huntelaar, etc. Players who will generally make a difference and won't just be stop gap solutions like the gradually increasing list of desperate transfers we've undertaken in the last few years. You also wouldn't call any of those players star names either, so there's definately a middle ground we should aim for in terms of calibre of player.
