Where do they rank in our list of top MLS signings ever? 

#5 David Villa - New York City FC

Villa might not have the same pedigree he did four to five years ago, but he should have enough left in his bag to light up the stage in the United States. He might not be the vital cog in the machinery for either Atletico Madrid or the Spanish national team that he once was, but is capable of producing those pieces of magic as demonstrated through his goal against Australia in the World Cup.

Even at the age of 32, Villa is far from a washout who is coming to the United States looking for a final big payday. Whilst majorly coming off the bench for both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the previous two seasons, Villa still managed to reach double digit scoring figures in La Liga.
