Some speculation today which is rare and from a strange source and the Chelsea game.
First up is some speculation from VT – HERE for Venezuelan central defender Oswaldo Vizcarrondo and I dare anyone to say who they know who this is.
The sources are here and here for a fee of a very low 100,000 euro’s.
One English googlish translation is
One player with several ‘brides’ in the central market is the Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, who after confirming the interest in the Olimpo Bahia Blanca Argentina, has also joined the bidding for Aston Villa in English, and newly promoted France, Elvia.
” We are studying the best chance, it is important that several teams have expressed interest in the player, thanks to the Copa America was good, “the agent said the defender. “Aston Villa, two Turkish teams, Olimpo de Bahía Blanca and are interested in Vizcarrondo Elvia. Apart from Deportivo Tachira in Venezuela, but their priority is to make the leap to Europe. “
Then we have the line up for today which is
VILLA: Given, Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Petrov, Delph, Albrighton, Ireland, Delfouneso, Agbonlahor
SUBS: Guzan, Bent, Bannan, Makoun, Clark, Heskey, Beye, Lichaj, Herd, Marshall, Lowry, Gardner.
another 4-3-3 I think and it is clear we will go with this in my view and with N’Zog in and obviously Bent. Will update as the game goes on for what a friendly is worth.
First Minute and Dunne brushed aside and despite Given trying his best, too many lined up for Chelsea to score. I would hope we don’t often see 4411. 4-3-3 is much more positive.
15 mins in and all Chelsea but decent gauge pre season to see what we want and it is clear a bloody quality defensive midfielder !
35 Mins all Chelsea, one Ireland chance he spooned over and we are being run a bit ragged at times. Is it me or do the chelsea side just seem physically so much bigger ?
HALF TIME – a VERY disjointed performance from us, Ireland not playing, midfield out of synch and defence outpaced, however it is only a friendly so no need to OTT.
SECOND HALF and Heskey on for an ineffective Albrighton
56 Mins, Given makes a good save again but the amount of space Chelsea have is shocking even for a friendly
60 Mins, of course we had to give Torres a goal
FULL TIME – Game faded out a bit and to be honest all it showed is the massive gap between us and Chelsea now in terms of ability on the ball. We should remember it is pre season but Stephen Ireland, Warnock and Dunne still all looked the issues from last season.
Aston Villa News 24/7
What was clear was that Chelsea are ahead of Villa in terms of pre-season fitness and match sharpness. Yes they have better talent, but I would very much doubt that we play like this in a couple of weeks. The players are jaded from training very hard…have patience it will hopefully come together soon.
Not too many positives to take from the game. Villa looked tired which could be an excuse for all the useless long balls we played. Given looks awesome, and hes gonna need to be i think. Nice to see Gardener and Bannan get on at the end, think these two could be our future. Apart from that, ineffective up front, nothing in midfield and shaky at the back!!
This was Chelsea at the end of the day, we already know that they are a league above us in quality and depth, who really thought we would get anything from the game??
me
I know Vizcarrondo and he’s one of the most defenders of south american..he’s very tall and defends very well, besides he attacks and makes goals when he can too… you must to sign him..he’s a good bussiness

Hi there fellows, i’m from Venezuela too, and i really wanna know what’s happening with all this speculation of Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, is this true? why is everything so quiet with this negociation? how really is Aston Villa interested on him? PLEASE tell us something true to leave all this speculation thing, we really want to know about his future.
He’s a great player and i bet he could be one of the best defenders of the world, but no one really knows specifically about his future, so PLEASE let us know something about him. Thank you very much, bye.
