I'm looking for vids of Orellana but most of them are crap quality.

I found this summary of the U23 Toulon tournament which featured both Villanueva (n15) and Orellana (n14).

Chile 2-0 Holland (Orellana with an assist and a goal) = http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=egLVmQUOaxs

The goal that shot him to fame in Chile: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T77UO4qiz4Y

That was a nice goal! Not just the finish but a team goal and a quick attack. I think someone needs to tell Ince to get his scouts out to Chile. This Orellana dude sounds useful and could be well worth a look at.

As for the Egyptian dude, surely we don't need another defensive midfielder! We need attacking midfielders and wingers!

I agree, Blackburn need wingers that can open the pitch...Orellana would be a good bet, maybe we can get a nice deal from Audax if we buy both Orellana and Villanueva...it's worth a try at least.

Send your scouting reports to Barry Whitbread @ Blackburn Rovers ;)

I found out there are a few European clubs, Mexican clubs...and one of those from Dubai interested in Orellana. The good news is he might be worth a bit less than I thought, rumors say it's around £1.5 million pounds! I think Blackburn should have a look at getting both Orellana and Villanueva at £6.5 million! That would be a sweet deal IMO.

Good to see you saying "we"! Welcome to the club!

I wonder if we'll actually sign Carlosito. It's a lot of money for us to pay for a guy who's not playing all the time and is not always effective.

At the moment I agree...we will see by the end of the season if he makes it to £5million, I think he will make it...if not Blackburn might negotiate for both players at a bargain price.

Still plenty of time to make that decision, because at this moment in time I would not be wasting a sizable portion of our transfer budget on him. Although he does shows glimpses which show that he has the ability. I wonder what the people who bemoaned the fact that we only signed him on loan during pre-season are wondering.

IMO, Warnock is the last player we should be selling. He has looked the most consistent defender when played in the right position!

We should look at signing a few center backs in January and poss a RB still, as the vast majority of our defence has been woefull this season!

I know it's not a Summer move, but surprised there's not a link for Owen - old mates connection, still an excellent scoring rate, don't think he's ever settled at News, plus would bring him closer to his raceyard? We need an out-and-out goalscorer, and they're extremely rare (or a gamble).

Would take big wages - but if the clearout in Jan happens (Vogel, Roberts, Fowler, Moko) plus our fabled 'warchest', I'm sure it's worth a punt. Even with, or without, RSC - we need one quality forward rather than several makeweights, which sadly I think sums up our forwards (excluding RSC, if he ever gets fit and his mojo back).

No doubt there will be loads of negativity, for the same reasons as Fowler, but IMO the lad is still hungry (especially the England issue) and his stats don't lie, even at clubs he's not in favour/settled at (Newc, Real Madrid).

Probably the bulk of the budget would go on his wages, rather than a fee; we may be able to buy a 'target man' or someone could hold the ball up too (RSC replacement?)
