Angel. Record signing at the time. South American. Had seen him briefly for River Plate on the telly a year or so before we signed him and thought he looked class. Remembered the name, because...well, Angel.

Since then we've not signed anyone exciting in terms of an unknown, nor any real superstars. We've known of them all, be it young up and comers like Ash, or bigger stars turfed out for various reasons, like Baros and Carew who both came with reputations.

Mark Kinsella.  That was one of my lowest moments of supporting the Villa.

Angel I would say.

Getting Carew for Baros, of all MON's signings was the one that made me sit up and think, good bit of business.

Milner was probably his best signing but then again DO'L also signed him for us so....

Paul Merson.

Least exciting was Steve Stone.


I was actually happy with Stone... had been watching him at forrest and thought he would do good....ahh who was the other fella playing amazing that season for them....Ian woan?

Anyhow...erm for me... Collymore i really thought was going to be amazing... Dublin impressed me... merse i thought would do good things.... then again i was happy with sasa Curcic...Ash and carew coming in jan a few years back got me going.. and i thought Maloney then would be good too (still think he could have been)

luc nillis i have to say i thought was a real wow signing... shame how it ended.. well started really....and i also was interested in Angel heard good things and cost a lot for the time....

but Bosko Balaban has to top them all.... what a star he turned out to be

Genuinely, Sasa Curcic.

I was also pleased with Steven Warnock.

I was and i wasn't.... Liked the wow factor of signing one of the best players in the world in that position but knew he was passed it and wouldnt offer much.... kind of similer to when we signed Ginola...

I also wanted Benni Carbone when he was with us
