[Archived] Blackburn Sign Chilean Superstar Carlos Villanueva

[Bobby G]

Does anyone know what the last XI on XI in training was yesterday, as it could an indication of who starts and who doesnt?

[The Prof.]

If he is as good as the Youtube clips show then its a case of Bentley Who? and Super Ince. If he is another Grabbi then oh dear!

If just hoping he is as tricky as he looked, he could be the match winner on saturday if so.

If he's another Grabbi he goes back.

[DeadlyDirk]

Can't wait to see what this guy can do, hope he at least gets a run out against Everton.

[Hughesy]

Whilst I agree - Dont expect too much, too soon - otherwise come sunday there will be calls for him to be sent back and that he is a waste of time.

Your joking...but you know some will!

[Manc Rover]

If he's another Grabbi he goes back.

If he's another Grabbi I'll run across Goodison park with my strides over my head!

[daren]

He doesn't have a profile picture on the 1st team pages either, as well as not appearing to be in the team photo.

Come the end of the season, I am going to predict a 1 in 2 for Carlos. David who? 8 was it.

I have a really good feeling about this kid, (just like opel fruits, made to make your mouth water) even though we have not seen him in the flesh.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Let's not put too much pressure on this guy. He's yet to play a single minute for the club yet people are getting too excited about an unproven South American in a big league. Let's see how he does and give him all the support he can get.

No pressure, he can't speak English, so there's not much chance him reading these comments.

Mind Fowler does, and some would wish he had read the board.

[Stuart]

Wonder why they didn't get him in a Rovers shirt for the profile photos whilst he was over? Pock marks?? Strange though how there have been no pictures which the LET could have printed at least...? (or did I blink and miss them?)

[Majiball]

There's no way on earth I would have my picture taken for public viewing if I had the Pox.

[donis1410]

there was a quick glimpse of him on rovers world in the interview with ince, he seems to have suddenly gone through puberty when having the pox and has grown facial hair

[Mc Love]

Is there any chance of Pina playing today??

[DeadlyDirk]

Is there any chance of Pina playing today??

Think there is definitely a chance of him being on the bench, who knows, Ince revealed none of his team selection in his recent press conference, wouldn't confirm anything, maybe he'll surprise us all and start him!

[donis1410]

I just can't wait to see this guy in action, i just hope he becomes a Juninho or Zola rather than a de pedro or a djorkaef

Has anyone had any reports from players or videos saying/showing how he is doing in training?

[Eddie]

The other day radio rovers mentioned that the players had said he was "magic" in training.

[Ronin]

There's no way on earth I would have my picture taken for public viewing if I had the Pox.

That's what Photoshop is for ;-) I'm sure they could 'put' him in the team photo later.

[donis1410]

Can imagine him putting on a right show against hull wot a battle him verses giovanni, we need a good strong home performance against hull on sat, potential banana skin

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Any news of his performance in the behind closed doors game against Wrexham today?

[novella]

Any news of his performance in the behind closed doors game against Wrexham today?

he scored, apparently.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Any news on whether he's the exciting player we all saw on Youtube or whether he's an Ali Dia?

[donis1410]

nicko mentioned that apparantly he looked the part which is nice to see and apparantly his goal (as described on the Wrexham Website) was a wonder goal!!!

The Rovers kit suits Carlos: http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Pro...3~44031,00.html

Interesting that it mentions he has already agreed terms should the deal be made perminant. 3 years further...

Maybe its just me, but that photo looks dodgy? photoshopped?
