Villarreal C.F. - 2004/05 Season

***Goalkeepers***

Javier Lopez Vallejo
- Very good substitue for Reina, he'll stay in the team, probably.

**************************

Jose Manuel Reina
- One of the most brilliant and promising goalkeepers in Spain. Without a doubt, our first man for the goal.

[Cristian_Villarreal]

***Defense***


DF C - Juan Manuel Pena
- Although it's a old player (31), it is a very good substitute for the defense. More than ten season of experience in La Liga.

****************************

DF C - Gonzalo Rodriguez
- Very young player from Argentina, but very promising. He'll be one of the principal defenders.

****************************

DF D - Armando Sa
- Another young player, not too technical but very powerful. He'll compete with Javi Venta for the ride side position.

****************************

DF D - Javi Venta
- In theory, it's gonna be the first option in the right side, but we'll see, him and Armando are very similar...

****************************

DF C - Quique Alvarez
- One of the captains in the team. If nobody comes to reinforce the defense, he'll be one of the bosses.

****************************

DF/CD I - Rodolfo Martin Arruabarrena.
- One of the main players in the team and in Argentina. One of the stars in Villarreal, and the player with more games in Villarreal history.

****************************

DF/CD I - Roger Garcia
- Can be use as defender or in the left attack side, if nobody makes a good offer, he'll stay.

****************************

[Cristian_Villarreal]

***Midfielders***


DF/CD C - Cesar Arzo
- One of the youngest players. Can play either in the defense or like a defensive midfielder.

******************************

CDC - Marcos Senna
- Brazilian midfielder, it'll be hard for him to be in the team, because doesn't have the communitarian passport.

******************************

CDC - Sebastian Battaglia
- Although it's a very good player, it looks like he wants to go back to Argentina. If we receive a good offer, he'll leave.

******************************

CDC - Verza
- Another promising player. He and Arzo will be the defensive midfielder substitutes.

******************************

MP DI - Santi Cazorla
- Substitute that can play in both sides of the attack midfield. Good promising player.

******************************

MP C - Juan Roman Riquelme
- The star of the team. Although it's here from Barcelona (loaned), he'll be one of the most important players this season.

******************************

MP/DL DC - Jose Mari
- After being in teams like Sevilla, Atletico de Madrid and Milan, the midfielder will be the boss in the right side of the attack.

******************************

MP/DL IC - Guayre Betancourt
- Young player that will be in the left side . Velocity and a very good shot.

[Cristian_Villarreal]

***Forwards***


DL C - Sonny Anderson
- It's pretty old, but still having good skills to keep scoring in Spain.

******************************

DL C - Diego Forlan
- One of the most dangerous strikers in La Liga. Star in Villarreal and in Uruguay, hopefully will score a lot this season.

******************************

DL C - Xisco Nadal
- One of the more promising spaniard strikers of the moment. He will rotate with Sonny in the attack.

******************************



- This will be the starting team, at least now. We'll see if reinforcements will come. At least we need a forward...

[Cristian_Villarreal]

Great Signs

- Villarreal signs Hernan Crespo, Argentinian forward from Chelsea, paying 3.9 M Euros. The Spaniard team also signs Portuguese Dani, that was without a team. Dani will be the substitute for Riquelme.

- In the latest hours, another sing it's been accorded. Scott Parker, midfielder also from Chelsea, will play in Villarreal the next 5 seasons. Villarreal has paid almost 4.5 M Euros for Parker.

- On the other hand, the Argentinian Sebastian Battaglia leaves the team to join...Chelsea. The English club will pay 3.5 Millions for the defensive midfielder.

- Probably there will be another sign, since the Cristian Lee is looking for a defender for the middle of the defense, and the club stills having almost 3 Millions Euros for transfers.

Dani

Scott Parker

Hernan Crespo

[Cristian_Villarreal]

Oliseh, The Last One

- Villarreal coach Cristian Lee signs the last of the reinforcements in theory, the Nigerian defender Sunday Oliseh. Oliseh will be in the center of the defense with Gonzalo Rodriguez.
