OMFG NOT A GOOD LOOK

+

None needed.

Dorian Dervite story

+

Currently with Bolton Wanderers. You did ask, right?

How they haven't burnt the city down by now baffles me

+

Today's (Thursday's) noontime fireworks at the Valencia City Hall. If you don't want to see the whole thing, go to about 2 mins left. But you really want to see the entire thing. Of course you do.

Joan Oriol joins UC Cornellà

+

Remember Joan Oriol? Played for Villarreal in the Segunda and Primera, then back in the Segunda again. Didn't play much after Marcelino took over.

Javi Prats fired as Juvenil A coach (last week)

+

Sorry I'm a bit late with this, but Javi Prats was fired as coach of our Juvenil A side--they have won all sorts of trophies the past few years but are struggling this season with their worst start (15 points from 13 matches). His replacement is Carlos Mulet, who had been on the Villarreal B staff. Prats played for Villarreal in the late nineties and was part of the team that gained our first promotion--however, he only played 18 minutes in the Primera.

Pedraza to go back to England?

+

Not the most reliable site, and not having seen Alaves, I don't know how well Pedraza is doing, but no question, the managerial merry-go-ground isn't helping him progress. But would he like to go on loan to an English side? Not sure.

Ex-Villarreal keeper Viera is penalth shootout hero

+

It's not exactly true that he doesn't move--but almost. Kick save for one, parries the other straight at him. (BTW, he was our keeper against Inter Milan in 2006)

Babambu signs new contract

+

Under contract to 2022. Great news!

Akrak Afif moving on from Villarreal?

+

Cultural Leonesa (newly promoted to Segunda) are apparently interested. Word is Villarreal may loan him out, or rescind his contract.

Imanol Garcia joins Villarreal B

+

He's a 21 year-old defensive midfleider who played for Osasuna B as well as Osasuna proper (8 matches).
