John Arne Riise saying Villa have bben in contact. Hope we don't take it further we don't need him and could use the wages to fix other positions.

We don't need him, not sure what we need?

Reports online suggesting we are interested in signing Sebastian Blanco from Metalist. 26 year old Argentinian CAM. Villa Park could do with some South American Flair.

All riise said was villa along with many other sides had made contact, but nothing concrete, blanco looks like he would spice up our midfield

Blanco looks decent, quick tricky 2 footed, yes please.

I've supported signings such as senderos and cole as I can see the thought behind those deals and where they could fit in and what they could potentially offer us, but I would be pretty annoyed if we went ahead and signed riise. There is no need for him and he is below the standard that we already have. I suspect he's trying to drum up interest for himself rather than us actually being interested and hopefully it goes no further. I can't see it happening myself.

Reading the comment about Villa & South American Flair.
Had to go check cause the old memory is wonky, but can confirm that we have signed a Colombian already. Carlos Sanchez (defensive midfielder) is awaiting International Clearance as far as I have read.

Last season we had (I think) the worst record for losing after taking the lead. IMO PL has looked to address the defense. If we score the goals of last season without conceding, we'll be fine, just fine. if we're lucky, Benteke will come back and score a bundle as well.
