Would have been great if it was a loan but great deal anyway,solely because he is a player who needs to play at top level for development.10m isn't as much as a bargain as people think.

"He comes from a very good academy with Barcelona and I've known him a long time,"
"He makes his mind up when he gets the ball and those players are rare - there aren't many players in the Premier League that can do that.
"We're getting him at the midway part of his development, he's not the finished article by a long way but he can certainly help us out in the short-term and in the future."
I'm happy for him, he deserves more than what he got in Barcelona. I hope he destroys the Prem, and I think he has the abilities to do so. I reckon Villa will finish quite high this season, they bought some quality players.
It looks like a great deal for us, but I think there's a chance he will be a £50 million pound player at some point. It's good to know there's a buy back clause.
