Finally Official: Villanueva

Blackburn Rovers

comment on the article

He's signed for Blackburn on a year-long loan deal.

Not only has Williams negotiated an option to buy at a pre-agreed price, but he's also agreed terms to a three year contract with Carlos, should we excercise the option. All ends tied up - so that if the player hits the Premiership by storm, we won't lose the guy.

This, no doubt, is why the paperwork took so long!

Nice job, Williams.

Why do we need a shiny new website?
Does it get you more points in the PL like huge fanbases and multi-million pound signings do?

It's quite weird seein his name . . Used to sign him on Champ 03/04 . . Nice to see he's a player who has actually made something of himself

I think this is a show of intent from Ince, seems that his play style will be more attacking and pacey. Good buy from Rovers and some excellent publicity, this players purchase alone has made created quite a buzz.

i think this guy could turn out to be a very good signing and with his south american skill will cause problem

good luck next season

Buying foreign players is always a bit of a gamble.
Most have done well in the PL, but there are examples of excellent players who just couldn't settle.
Only time will tell.

Good signing, but with Friedal and bentley gone they will need a few more to avoid getting into a relegation scrap.

It is quite an exciting capture. We cant expect too much of him straight away but he'll add something different.

Quite a departure from the old Hughes type of signing, it will be really interesting to see how this turns out. In terms of capturing the supporters imagination thought this is right up the with any signng we have made recently. Come on Incey!
