KSV Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I wonder if Ryu will come back now. Could do with a rap sheet on this fella Hey brother. What you need to know about Carlitos: - Not your traditional Colombian player. He was discovered young and taken to play in Uruguay where he made his name at the club level prior to earning a move to play for Valenciennes in Ligue1 where he played several seasons. (Similar situation to Falcao, Eder Balanta, James Rodriguez, Guarin and many others in the current Colombian international set up who have played none or very little minutes domestically) - He is a true '5' - he breaks up play, covers well for the centreback or advancing fullback when they get into attacking positions (Colombia plays with two very aggressive fullbacks in Zuniga and Armero) and keeps it simple. Not particularly cultured with the throughball but does change the field well and plays tidy. Covers a lot of field and known for his lungs. - Particularly strong at man marking opposing creative players. He consolidated himself in the Colombian NT by man marking Messi beautifully (and without a card) at the last Copa America. - Known for being a good 'practice' player that coaches like. - He would be a great signing for Villa and fill a need we've had FOREVER. However, I do have to note that even by South American standards his contractual situation has been considered bizarre for ages, I worry if Villa have pulled out its due to stuff discovered during due diligence (x football stuff). Great to see you post again. Thanks for that! I got a feeling it broke down to Randy not wanting to finance the third parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We don't know if it has broken down yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wouldn't we have known about the third party issues before we went in FFS? Gutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wouldn't we have known about the third party issues before we went in FFS? Gutted I'm sure we knew, but if it's fallen apart because of that perhaps the third party were unwilling to work in such a way that would adhere to Premier League rules and we cut things off early. If it's off (again, IF), then it might actually be us trying to play hardball and walking away to make them actually behave. If that's the case, I wouldn't expect this to be the last of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I tend to find that the negative news regarding Villa is usually true so that doesn't bode well for this deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted August 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought it was too good to be true. Real shame if we can't complete this signing. Definitely a player that would have helped us protect the defenders a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpablo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Don't know what to believe but I really hope it isn't off, he's just what we need. God knows what we'll end up with now. Edited August 12, 2014 by juanpablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I can't believe something written as a few line article exclusively in The Sun qualifies as gospel, but you can just tell when it's something like this it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Dissapointing it looks to be off - I do think we need a 'Merson' type more though, Lets hope Lambert has such a player up his sleeve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted August 12, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2014 People really shouldn't listen to much to the press. In the build up to signing Cissokho they were saying it wasn't close right up until we signed him and then reporting it was a loan when the caught up despite the 4 year deal. That isn't to say we are about to sign him, just let's not assume we won't because of what The Sun says. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
