VillarReal Swap Diegos

Monday, 06 August 07, 06:40 PM

Shortly after Diego Forlans Exit from the yellow submarine for the "colchoneros" the submarine began negotiations with an other Uruguayan Diego, Diego Godin.

Godin has had good showings for Uruguayan National side and has been a key figure for Uruguayan powerhouses Nacional.  Godin reports that it was Forlan who convinced him to make the exit for the spanish side during their nacional side meetings.   

Godin will hope to replace the void that Ayala is leaving in the club after his last minute change of heart to sign with the club.  Godin at only 21 will have difficulty filling the shoes of Roberto Ayala, however has potential to be a great defender.  

Godin is now the third VillarReal player from uruguay, the other 2 being Sebastian Viera, and Martin Caceres who performed well for the youth squad in Canada this summer. Caceres will be on loan this season to a smaller club.

Other uruguayos moved in spain this summer are Mario Reguiero, Fabian Carini and Pablo Garcia to the newly promoted side of Mercia.  the side already has one uruguayan from previous seasons who marked 14 goals for the club last season.  

all three uruguayans making the move have recently played for the national side in major events and bring much experience to the team if they can stay healthy.
