Unbelievable Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Spot on. He isn't a rightback. Doesn't have the attributes, pace etc... Hopefully he is a replacement for Bramble/Kilgallon and with the money we get from them (Whatever it may be) we can put towards a proper RB. We have form for playing people out of position and regardless of O'Neill doing it previously with Cuellar hopefully here he will play him at the back Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=712938&page=4#ixzz1zSHQ2Bxq Bless..

ponsaelius Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Just seen the article on safc.com. Man, I can't tell you how ecstatic I feel right now! Brilliant coup for MON, for SAFC and over the transfer window this season where I believe it is one of the biggest if you base it on the formula of "size of player = size of club", and this signing has deffo rocketed MON's approval rating with me! Because for me this is a massive name for a club of our size to have attempted and to get in and shows what we can be capable of in the transfer market if we try. What is lovely is the fact it has gone way below anyone's radar. Caught so many clubs unaware. I doubt there is a club in the PL who expected it to happen. That is why they were slow to capitalise on the chance and steal him from us. MON you are brilliant! Here is hoping for more signings. __________________ Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=712488&page=23#ixzz1zSJMyIjt http://www.mountainalarm.com/images/FireWindow.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a fee - he is out of contract. Strange one, Carlos. He was reallly popular with the fans (hence the shenanigans at his last game for us), but over five years, no Villa manager played him consistently at centre half. MON stuck him at RB for massive periods of time. He's decent defensively, but terrible coming forward. He's also the only Spanish person on the planet with no ball control. His first touch is like watching a puppy try to pick up a balloon. Top bloke, though, always gives 100 percent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 How many centre backs do they have? Cuellar, Bramble, Brown, Oshea, Killgallon im sure theres a few more Yeap, but O'Neill is known to prefer CB's at fullback than actual fullbacks. This. He'll be playing at right back.

Unbelievable Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anybody else glad the international football is done and we can concentrate on the PL now? I dont undertsand how anybody can still have a love for international football given how the FA has shown nothing but utter contempt for our club and kind over the years. I can never be allies with some of the forces within this country; if you sleep with dogs you get fleas. Futhermore this year promises to be the most significant in our history. If we falter but a little the mag will pounce and take his opportunity to finish us for good. THIS is the season to stand tall, to stand as one. This is the time of Mackem heroes.

We had him at Villa on loan from Man United, and MON sent him back before the loan period expired, he was so mind blowingly average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 There's an interesting point here beyond Cuellar, in that what we are seeing is MON falling back on his usual transfer tactics - almost exclusively sign: 1. Players who have played for him before. 2. Players who have played in the UK before. It was infuriating for us at times, because we felt he was limiting himself to shopping in the overpriced home market, which was insanity, and largely explains how, when he flounced out, we were left with such a horrendous wage bill.
