News Update

So, with nothing coming of it so far, it looks like the rumors of his completed sale were just that - rumors. Today, if somehow you missed it, Milan's official website announced the capture of Giuseppe, only to immediately remove the announcement without another word.

Marcos Senna finally returned to the fold today, after being out for the last three months with a torn muscle in his right thigh. His return is vital to a squad that will be walking the injury tightrope all season long - especially in the defensive midfield, where only Senna, Eguren (suspended for the first match), and Bruno will be available on a regular basis. With three weeks to prepare, he should be ready to start in week one.

The rest of the internationals returned today as well. Santi, Capdevila, Altidore, Diego Lopez, and Rossi all joined the team to begin training for the upcoming year.

A week or two ago, Ibagaza was linked with a return to Argentina for the upcoming year in a surprise sale. According to El Cano, he's not going anywhere.

And lastly, it seems our old poacher Guille Franco has relearned how to score goals - here is the final dagger in US hearts from last night's thumping at the hands of El Tri.

somehow after leaving villarreal both mati and guille are doing well

^
Because Senor Pellegrini didn’t have trust in Mati. ….Do u remember when Mati was doing well in a game and Pellegrini would then sub him……………..for some other player……..

I can’t remember a Gille’s goal scored kicking the ball from outside the area. I’m happy for him, he is a good boy but he was unlucky with injuries here…

@hafiz. a lot of south american players take time to adjust to the european game.
i think mati had finally made the adjustment and would done well now. too bad vila-real rather lose
4m than keep mati for 1 more year.

strange to see, top 5 teams in liga sign foreign forwards then spanish.
guiza signed for lyon today. negardo is going to epl.

daniel guiza was sold to lyon for €12m. how come vila-real did not go for him?

by jackson on Jul 28, 2009 6:15 PM CEST reply actions  

I’m glad they didn’t. I’ve never liked Guiza, even if he scored a lot of goals in Mallorca. His partnership with Ibagaza was pretty nice though. That would probably be the only reason why I would like to see him in Villarreal. But I prefer Nilmar, he’s younger and more interesting imo.

Negredo would have been the perfect choice, but he’s too expensive for us. And when it comes to Matí Fernández, it’s sad to see him leave, especially for that shitty price. They should have gave him one more season. I’m sure he’ll be a great player in Portugal. But what the hell, in Roig & co we trust.

@ sorin . nilma has one big draw back. both knees have had major surgeries on them.

by jackson on Jul 28, 2009 10:15 PM CEST reply actions  

i agree wud have love to see giuza in villarreal really like him. he may lack confidence which sometimes becomes too apparent but that guy score goals plus wud have cost us around10-11m euros a proven player on european n world stage. unlike some nilmar flopped on two stints, lets see if he can do something and it better be something great too justify his record transfer he better become teh best player in teh team.
seriously whats happening to la liga following epl’s example of paying unreasonable amounts for overrated players, barca paying for ibra 43m+ etoo, now nilmar in villarreal. i know Real Madrid are teh most stupid club around but teh rest were smart.

+ Vid of Rahul’s s fav player …. :)
http://www.rtvv.es/video/video_informa.asp?id=28072009_nilmar.flv

P.S
IMHO, He could use some weight training..

by kqql on Jul 29, 2009 5:04 AM CEST reply actions  

since we need a strong striker up front who can challenge in the air guiza could b a good choice bcoz he is cheaper than nilmar.and he has lot of experience too having played for spain in euro and fener in CL.he had prob settling down in turkey maybe he will do much better if hes back in spain.
after all we already singed this guy nilmar for a record fee.so no point talking bout another player.like sorin said in Roig & co we trust.so when we can see nilmar in action?is he ready for the bordeux game?looking forward to that game.

by hafiz on Jul 29, 2009 8:37 AM CEST reply actions  

Don’t you think it odd that despite Guiza’s goalscoring record no Spanish club will sign him. First he went to Fenerbahce and now Lyon

by Kenez on Jul 29, 2009 9:06 AM CEST reply actions  

I don’t think Guiza is all that great, he had one exceptional season but apart from that he never really set La Liga on fire. I’m gonna mention again that we have a potential superstar on our hands, if Nilmar gets going he could be one of the best strikers in the world. Of course there is a risk but I don’t think it was that great, Lyon had several established strikers when he was there and he never really got settled. I think with the service we can provide him with he could definitely hit 20 goals.

Kenez………………….
Spanish clubs have got the Foreign player/s worshiping fever , like they have in EPL.

You mean Villa , Torres , Negrado are not good enough for Barca, R. Madrid or Villarreal…………………

P.S Maddi What was wrong w/your site today……….? it would come up..

by kqql on Jul 30, 2009 7:36 AM CEST reply actions  

Nilmar’s arrival got delayed….some flight issues….wouldn’t be in Villarreal till Friday….
+
Also, following players have been called for International games on 8/12/09 (9/8/09)
 by their Countires…
Players will leave Villarreal on 8/8/09 and return the following Friday.
so far:
Eugren, Godin + Nilmar.

by kqql on Jul 30, 2009 7:48 AM CEST reply actions  

i dont think lyon will sign him anymore as they have signed gomis from st. etienne.
guiza didnt have just one great season he had a gud confederations cup and a great euro. now tht we have signed this nilmar i don think we have anymore chances of signing guiza. i wana see guiza in la liga hope he signs for valencia or some other team.

Sorry about the website going down for a bit – had a database issue, but the support at 3ix.com was great at getting it back up quickly after I notified them about it.
