Diego Carlos

[Risso]

Reading the comments, kind of a different vibe to when Joe left..

I guess it's because Diego isn't a total c***?

[OCD]

Looks like he'll be a threat on set-pieces.

I know he plays on the left of defence for Sevilla but if Gerrard's plan is to move him to the right and play him with Mings, that's some commanding physical dominance those two would offer at corner (at both ends).

I'd just like to point out that I didn't determine that list, it's just the players that I observed girls fancying. When it comes to man-crushes on footballers, Tyrone is the only one for me.

Edit: I also knew a girl at university who fancied Neil Lennon, so it takes all sorts.

I have a 19 year old student here who considers Putin to be her dream man. 'Only physically', she pointed out....

He's had more botox done than the whole of Essex.

Haha! There is that. When their official site puts out a video to thank him and hundreds of comments from fans thanking and wishing him well you know he's a gem.

That 2005-2009 era, we were quite a hit with the ladies, from my experience. I was in my late teens at the time, and I knew girls who fancied Barry, Sorenson, Mellberg, Angel, Petrov, Ashley & Luke Young, Luke Moore, Steven Davis. We were a team full of totty.

You Millennials have a very skewed sense of beauty. I can only appreciate Ash and Juan Pablo in that list, others are complete turds.

On that list, I can only get behind Mellberg

You are presuming he’s a taker not a giver?
I’ve always found the term Lucky Pierre to be greatly amusing, enhanced by Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap recording under the name. I rather liked the ‘Sometimes I feel like a motherless child’ single.

Geez. He has got a sexy waddle though.

Just the 24 years since they supported B&S at the town hall gig.

Yikes, imagine wanting to be Putin's putain.

Has Diego actually signed now? On Thursday the official site said he would undergo a medical before signing a contract. When Kamara signed last week he was pictured in the shirt and did interviews etc., but nothing on Carlos.....?

[Stu]

Have Villa forgotten to do his shirt stretching photos or is this bloke about to Unsworth us?

[chrisw1]

Looking forward to seeing the fella.  Tbh his stats don't look sensational and sounds a bit error prone, so it will be interesting to see what he brings over and above Mings / Konsa.  But he's clearly highly regarded so hopefully he'll improve us.

Yep, the whole things gone quiet....

If I was to guess, I would say that given the 'Thanks for the memories' tweet from the offical account to Kappa, the new kit contract is probably due to start on June 1st. It would probably make sense to have him stretching the new shirt, given how close we are, so the photos are proabbly all done, they are just waiting to be able to release them.

Just putting two and two together, though - for all we know, he could have taken a walk around the city, been outraged by the lack of trams in use and hopped on a plane back to Seville.

He's probably on holiday. I don't think he can officially sign until the transfer window opens and he has international clearance anyway.

[Smirker]

Same thing happened with Douglas. Everything will be fine.
