right. i know he came over to Barca, but he barely lasted there IIRC and I'm just speculating that if he has a good WC then perhaps a team larger than Villareal will take another look at him and make a move for him. Villareal is a team on the up, but they're not a "Major" team. IMO he'd work well in Italy for example.
