Borja Valero!

PrintVillarreal's first signing for the 2010-11 season, and it's quite a splash.
According to the club site and Mediterraneo, last season's midfield revelation with Mallorca will be staying on Spanish soil. Premier League side West Bromwich Albion will sell his rights to Villarreal for around 6 million Euros, and Valero will sign a 5-year deal.
Valero is 25 years old, developed in the Real Madrid cantera, and had two spells at Mallorca, one as a signing and last year on loan. He should be loyal to Villarreal to boot. He is a long-term replacement for the aging Senna and will pair with Bruno for years to come in central midfield, bringing back the doble pivote to El Madrigal. Wonderful signing, even if a bit costly. And we stole him right from under Sevilla's nose.
Now hopefully this brings us some luck on the Europa League front with Mallorca. A post on the World Cup 1/2 finals coming tomorrow; stay tuned.

On the local front, the club has sold over 13,500 tickets for next season. Not bad.

Altidore is not included in Garrido’s list of 31 for the pre season.

yea Altidore is leaving to ajax or marseille or the priemier leauge. I think villARREAL ARE treating him a bit unfairly. they arent THAT good to say they dont need the player. for altidore i think a move to either team will be better for him anyway. bigger clubs

Fenerbache continue to push for Nilmar and could offer Dani Guiza as part of the deal.

Oh and Kenez, any news on whereabouts in Ireland they are going? I have an inkling that they could be heading to a place about an hours train journey from me, hopefully I’ll be able to meet them!!

Another interesting article from El Mediterraneo. Juan Carlos may be with the A team (in place of Oliva or Diego Lopez), Altidore looks to be on his way out, and Garrido will use a 4-4-2 next season. Of the strikers, Nilmar, Rossi, and Ruben will play up front, Fuster as a punta, and Montero out wide.

Congrats to Forlan, what a great run at WC 2010.
Godin was caught napping (like he and Gonzalo did few times w/Villarreal this season) when the rebound came for the first goal.
