[Archived] Blackburn Sign Chilean Superstar Carlos Villanueva

[Hughesy]

Has king Carlos joined up yet??

[ebenrocks]

i think he arrives some time next week

[Hughesy]

Apparently he flew out from Chile at 11.00am on friday - but not heard anything since

[Donny Rover]

Any news on King Carlos since Saturday? I'm disturbed by the complete silence about the kid, yeah so keeping him under wraps might be good until he's used to his surroundings and his colleagues etc... but I think we deserve a little info!

We've had Incey raving about Robbo, but not even a passing comment about Villanueva... give us summat Rovers!!!

I havent heard anything for a week now, 1st he was going germany, then portugal, then

meeting up with the squad at Brockhall? work permit delay maybe?

[QOTSA]

Chill out people. Villanueva is in Blackburn and had his medical today. Assuming all goes well, the deal will finally be announced tomorrow.

[bringdunnback]

He works for Setanta...

[QOTSA]

I've spoken to Carlito on the phone tonight. He did his medical today, he thinks that's all fine and now is waiting for confirmation of his work permit which should come through to the club tomorrow.

So he's actually here? We need somebody to go snooping around the Dunk, see if he's about.

I suppose he'd be in Manchester if he isn't savouring the Dunkenhalgh.

Thanks for the update buddy.

Good guess but it's Setanta who pay my wages.

I spoke to Carlos in Spanish. Don't know where he's staying tonight but it's somewhere in Blackburn. I assumed he'd be holed up in a Manchester hotel as most players are when they're signing, but, good man, he's keeping it real.

[roversmum]

Ah, Bless. I like him already.

Stopping at the aquaduct b&b! GOOD LAD!

[T4E]

Probably staying on Livesey with Trish. Comes highly recommended.

More like Stanley House or The Trafalgar

[Bobby G]

Does he speak English? Any thoughts from him???

Ooops just saw that you spoke in Spanish...

[JAL]

A trialist who could go either way, fully hope it goes well, but dont hold out much hope but if hes a star then i'll be shouting from the roof tops .

You obviously have the inside track on this one.

How do you rate him - has he the ability and temperment to match what we have seen on the internet ?
