[Archived] Blackburn Sign Chilean Superstar Carlos Villanueva

[Alanf]

Whats next then Pennant can be better than Ronaldo?

Why not..

In all fairness, I should have said that has the potential to be as good as Fabregas....Don't ask why. I just have a feeling.

Look at the footage of him playing junior football. Also the way south americans and, to the same extent the eastern europeans, move into space when they don't have the ball, play simple passes 'around t'corner'and then find themselves space to recieve. He seems to have this skill. It's not something that is taught on these shores......but don't get hung up. The main thing with him will be patience.

[daren]

That seems excessive, ROAR. Fabregas is talented but we've all seen him fade out of games. No denying he's excellent, though. An opinion that Villanueva could be that good isn't unwarranted at this time. Certainly he looks that good from clips we've seen but only time will tell.

And seriously, Pennant's rubbish, try something like RSC and Shearer

By saying that you must think he isnt already!................

For those of us who just can't sleep without an update on Villanueva - he's passed his medical and received confirmation of his work permit.

His agent reckons the deal will be announced by Friday after the club have finalised everything.

Something just doesnt sound right....medical passed......work permit granted!

[Ronin]

If this boy (please please) is as good as everyone hopes, i do believe there is only one song we can use for him next season:

"Youtube, is just like watching youtube!"

[rebelmswar]

We've got the Pineapple, in our team, we've got the pineapple, in our team, we've got the pineapple, in our team, we've got the pineapple in our team!

I am sure something can be done with this, but I cant for sure.

I can not get further than 10 seconds to mess with the lyrics, I have the overriding urge to find a pistol if I watch any longer.

Not while Gally is still around. The only memorable thing he ever did.

[American]

I like the Viva Las Vegas one somebody posted earlier.

Looking forward to seeing if he can make a splash.

[21 Rover]

King Carlos is Magic

He wears a magic hat

And when he saw the rovers he said im having that

We all saw him on youtube

We all knew he was great

And now we talk about him, as we walk through ewood gates

[The Prof.]

Could anyone in the know tell me when he'll be unvailed - I'm very bored and would certainly go down to see him.

I suppose 5 out of 10 for that - taking into consideration it was before 9am when you posted it. But I suppose if nobody else likes it - I hope you know where your coat is!!!!!!!

"Yesterday night they told us the work permit was ready, following the medical results that were fine.

"As a consequence today is a relaxing and happy day for Carlos."

We are in need of a much needed morale boost at the club.
