The first tackle any English ref would give a free kick for.

The second he would be in for a good shout on that one.

Held back for sure on the third, yellow card given.

Didn't go down on the fourth.

Fifth was Vinny Jones like and any English ref would give a free kick for.

Sixth was a bit of good character acting but that is now his fourth free kick within shooting distance of goal and three yellows for the opposition.

Four yellows.

I have to mention the amount of decent balls he throws into the box, Santa will be eating these up.

So after all these videos.

We take him on loan.

What's Ince playing at. (good move)

If he's doing this in games in Chile.

Imagine what he's going to show case in training,(feel sorry for nelson, hope Samba decides not to take a swipe at him) and Portugal.

I'm sure we will be parting company with the rest of the money, on the 31st of December.

Work permit permitting.

Lifted from this LET article about Castillo.

"The club need to secure a work permit for Villanueva, who plays for Chilean side Audax Italiano, but a Home Office hearing may not be necessary as Rovers are working on a process whereby the player will automatically qualify for a work permit. "

That sounds very promising, I was beginning to worry that the work permit thing would be an issue but that suggests it shouldn't be the case.

In the Express today is claims that Rovers were not Villaneuva first or prefered choice as he wanted to play in Spain.

That is excellent.

If Dirty Desmond's make believe rag is printing a storylike that then we can be confident that Villanueva is delightedto be joining Rovers rather than being in Spain somewhere.

Hope your right it just seems one negative after another at this moment in time.

Got this in the web page of Chilean radio

"Although tramitations to get the working visa have taken longer than expected, Villanueva awaits peacefully for their solution to fly to Europe to join new club, Blackburn Rovers. In the meantime, he keeps on training with A. Italiano. He expects to fly to Europe on Sunday, although yet without known destination, as Ince's team is in Portugal on preseason work. According to his declarations, once the visa matter will be solved, everything would be fine and the loan can be signed"

Hope it helped

Awesome news.

Can't wait to see him charging down the inside left. Clearly a tricky player but adds one vital ingredient for us - Pace!

Does he have pace though? The wikipedia article said something about playing alongside quick players.
