On another note, the fact that Wolves have made a better match video than we could ever, showing off the city, stadium and fan culture, even paying attention to spelling the stadium name in Valencian, is commendable. Their media team is one of the best in the world. Hats off
Thank you for all the support throughout the summer! It's the first summer transfer window that we've covered, and it's been quite a hectic one! The growth and support from the community has been immense, truly grateful for all the love. See you tomorrow for the derby! 🫡💛

🚨 Arnaut Danjuma's future is still uncertain 🐍
Marcelino wants him to stay, provided he shows the right attitude, but Danjuma is in two minds. He has offers from Lille and Nottingham Forest. Last night, he met with his agent to asses the situation.

YERSON MOSQUERA
Arriving as a relative unknown in the winter, Mosquera quickly shook off a tough start to become one of the league's best defenders. Performing phenomenally at both CB and RB, contributing on both ends, overall an amazing loan. Please stay 🙏
Rating: 8.5/10
Wow that place looks lovely, I think that the best for the club is to send him there for another year and let him develop even further. Right, Wolves fans? 🐺💛
Yerson Mosquera spent the end of the 2023/24 season on loan at

Disappointed, but not surprised to see people so confidently baseless accusations against Sergi Cardona and Ilias Akhomach. They were losing by a lot in an unlucky game, lost their heads, and made awful tackles. That's it. Shut up with your remarks about character and such.

The Danjuma deal makes absolutely no sense.
After all the work done by the player, Marcelino, and the club to get him back performing, we loan him to a direct rival, leaving a sizeable hole in an injury-prone front line and potentially not making any profit from it?
Ridiculous.

The 29-year-old winger joins on a free transfer from Trabzonspor and signs a contract with the club until 2026 📝
Welcome to Villarreal, Nicolas 💛
A casual EIGHT chances created for Álex Baena in last night's win 🪄
Even when he's not the star of the show,
@alexbbaena

Logan Costa is the perfect addition to Villarreal's backline. An excellent two-way defender who can dominate on the ground and in the air, while also being a great distributor who can build play with linebreaking passes from the back 🧱🪄
The final piece of the puzzle 🧩 💛
One of them held imperably against a ferocious Sevilla front line, and the other created the match-winning goal 🧱 ⚽️
Congratulations to Willy Kambwala and Thierno Barry on their Villarreal debuts 💛
The first Villarreal goalkeeper to record an assist since Andrés Fernández (19/07/2020), and only the second to ever do so 🪄
A great debut for Diego Conde 🧤💛

They only care about our players when they can link them to Barça or Real. They only posted the clips where they force the Barça question at him several times and then ask about the Valverde incident. As little as possible about him and Villarreal right now. Fuck Carrusel

Eric Bailly is usually quite good, but God damn when he's bad, he's awful. Last night's performance was one of the worst we've had in a bit, sloppy all throughout and completely lost his head after 60 mins. No panic, he'll be back to his best soon, but we need Kambwala back asap

Whatever we sell Filip Jörgensen for this summer, we will be able to sell him for double if we keep him, even if it's only until the winter. He should only be sold if it's a necessity to keep the squad together, and he's worth much more than €20m to this team and on this market.
🚨 With the sales of Filip Jörgensen and Ben Brereton Díaz, Villarreal is in a much stronger position to retain Alexander Sørloth and Álex Baena 🔐
The €33m in profit are sufficient to balance the books and bring in a new goalkeeper for cheap 💸
