O'Neill makes approach for Asier Riesgo, or does he?

So what does this mean... that we're not getting Friedel/Green anymore? Or that Guzan isn't coming?

Very confusing.

vivavilla!: Guzan will come regardless, subject to a work permit. We still need another keeper, and that will be Friedel, Green, or someone else.

Another keeper? what keeper havent we been linked with ? can this one play at right back because if we dont get a right back soon i would say our chances of challenging top four would be a joke, and more like keeping out of the bottom four would be our challenge next season.

link to the story in spanish? i'm sure we can get it translated ;o)

thourht i had. i hadn't. link is above .. first two words

Riesgo means risk in Spanish, that says it all!!

I dont believe it another goalkeeper link to some guy that know one knows??? how surprising has guzan got his papers sorted yet! who knows with villa anymore. I dont think ive seen him holding the villa shirt.
we need a win against walsall 2mos to give us some confidence for saturday? Its going around Friedel will be signing by wednesday, can players that come in this week play on saturday?????

I know it's Tribal Football, and you need to take it with a rather large pinch of salt, but we are being linked to Danny Simpson at Manure who does in fact play right back! Hooray!

I may be wrong but I don't think we cna play anyone who signs this week on Saturday.

I [i]think[/i] the names for the Intertoto had to be in by last Friday - no names can be added to it now.

Don't shoot me if this is wrong - this is just what I think based on very old rules.

course we have scouts overseas... problem is so does everyone else :D

Of course O'Neill has scouts working overseas, but, as many other managers would say, uk based players dont need as much time to adapt and so perform to their potential quicker. Personally, i'd rather have a strong english spine to the time, all having played in the premiership already with a couple of top class foreign internationals. No point spending money on players that are no better than those in the UK, this is part of the reason the England team is in the state it is.

I speak Spanish. The article says that Asier Riesgo has an significant offer to consider from Villa. BTW Riesgo is not such a good name for a goalkeeper - it means risky!!! Rather like Calamity James..

Must have read the same article, i can't see any references to a fee in spanish article (but my spanish is only to a basic level).

Villain from Texas: so we'll take this unknown instead of them? Smacks of O'Neill cheaping out again if you ask me.

Cheers Damian for clearing that up & for the email.

Lets hope the ruling is wrong? But im skeptical.

vivavilla!:

I don't know which of these keepers will sign, much less whether this particular rumor regarding Riesgo has any truth. You're reading too much into MON's motives from a rumor.

any1 know when Guzan's work permit decision is?

Chaps don't forget we have a goal keeping coach who is spanish & so i would have thought has contact within the spanish league. This story makes sence to me.

To the guy who joked that O'Neill was planning on playing two goalkeepers in matches this season I think you might be on to something...

If we do sign this guy maybe it means Taylor is leaving?
Plus, jumping on the band wagon, when are the right-sided outfield players arriving?

Villain from Texas: I can't help it, these are anxious times :'(

I speak spanish and it says MON is an idiot and will sign this crap keeper.

All but a dont deal .....now its like a ghost town talking about him...

I think we should go back in for Bentley ...
And that F*** Benitez sold Carson for 3.5 mill and wanted $10mill from us. What a plonker, values his players by who pissed him off & which team are asking about there players

If i had a broken bottle....

Cant wait till barry joins them ....actually i hope he joins The Arse would be F***ing funny!!! See you later gerrards water boy!!

Did any read from AVFC official about MON saying there will be new signings before the game...and i think he even promised

Irish Promise dont go together!!
True to the word nudder!! no one came in

It pretty much says "there has been a significant offer, the guy doesn't want to leave but the club need to sell one of their keepers."

o`neill is a joke of a manager when is he gonna sign anyone all promises b4 the start of the season my season ticket is going back
