Gpoing back on-topic, a question:

In your Villa-supporting lifetime how many players have been worth, at current market prices, £25 million?

I can think of Gary Shaw and Andy Gray definitely, David Platt and Dwight Yorke possibly. Before anyone says the obvious, no club would risk that much on Paul McGrath given his age and injury record.

There's a picture of him lying on the grass after the crash.
Why is he in his Man Utd kit and how lucky is he a member of their medical staff was there to help him?


Anyone got any links to pictures of Rooney pissing up a wall in Manchester? or smoking?

Sid Cowans and Merse although before he played for us.

Sid Cowans was probably the best midfielder we had in modern times. A 25 year old version of him would be worth more than Milner.

Yet we sold him to Bari for £250,000.

One of my favourite ever players and to me Milner isn't in the same class however he was never valued in that sort of bracket when he was playing and with the way the modern game is I doubt he would be now.

You're getting old Chris, I think it was closer to £500,000. For me, the best Villa player I've ever seen. Milner doesn't even come close.

Collymore maybe. Not based on his Villa perfomances obviously, but on his ability alone. I'm not sure he realised how good he was.

Cowans would top the list for me (possibly a dose of misty eyed nostalgia.)

Shaw, Little, Yorke, Platt.

Much as I love Brian Little he wouldn't be worth that much and neither would Sid, whose best years were lost to injury and Italy.

Dalian Atkinson I always rated as the more gifted of the two.

If Dalian had had Deano's work ethic he could have played for the best sides on the continent.

Milner isn't fit to lace Sid's boots, and I only saw him from '88 onwards.  I'd loved to have seen him in his pomp.
