    Well the 4th div is scouted so let's hope he catches the eye of another club and gets bought.

    Needs 1st team ball next year.

    I'm not sure what that something is, but a 62 page academy thread ought to tell us something.

    We are desperate for "kind of good players?" would be my guess.

    For those of you that have followed the group of prospects Mukwelle has "grown" up with at Villlarreal, it seems that Chuca and Pau are now consistently playing with the first team.

    This group particular group will end up with at minimum 4-6 full-time players for Villarreal which is absolutely phenomenal.

    Chuca
    Pau
    Pedritio
    Mario
    Dario
    Mukwelle

    Truly an amazingly talented group. On a side note Villarreal also recently loaned out Franco Acosta to Racing Santander for the remaining of the season. Franco is one year ahead of this group in terms of time with Villarreal. I would not be surprised to see loans for this group in a similar fashion for this group over the next 12 months.

    Especially in Spain where the U.S. has had few players in La Liga.

    Mukwelle just turned 21 ten days ago. Apparently there are only 12 players younger Akale to play in La Liga this year. That number is 34 if including last year.

    I’m sure there has been discussions in this thread about use of young players in La Liga, but just wasted too much time already on the bit below to look up... I’ve only watched 10 mins of The Villarreal C game so far, but have liked what I’ve seen.

    Interesting.
    why rush prospects when you have the amount of quality divisions that Spain has? I’m amazed at the quality of The Tercera groups.

    You can watch the full match here. Mukwelle is rounding into good form and is playing a true playmaking within this particular side which is good to see as he has spent the majority of his time on this wings in Spain.

    Quality match and very good attendance.

    Any word on Villareal’s plans for his expiring contract? Or is Kwelle gonna be looking for a new club in June?

    None, all I know is that Dario, Pedro, Pau, Mario, are all on the same year to year contract.

    Two goals and an assist for our boy today. You can watch the match via the Villarreal twitter account. A lot of rave reviews coming out of Spain on his performance.

    If you have time watch the full match.... he was definately feeling it.

    Also, XIMO that Villarreal goalie is a Villarreal youth product that has spent the last two years at Clemson. Because he is not on a professional contract with Villarreal he can go back and forth.
