Birmingham, England (SportsNetwork. Raymond Felton Jersey .com) - Aston Villa has completed the signing of midfielder Carles Gil from Valencia, signing the Spain U-21 international to a four-and-a-half-year contract. The 22-year-old moves to Villa Park for a fee of nearly $5 million, and he becomes the first January signing for Villa boss Paul Lambert. Once I knew that this club was interested in me I wanted to join, said Gil. I am really looking forward to playing here and showing the fans what I can do. I can play on either side or in the middle of midfield and I like playing as part of the team, making things happen for my teammates. Gil has spent the past two seasons on loan at Elche before returning to Valencia to score one goal in eight La Liga matches this term. The Villains have managed just 11 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, the lowest total in the league. And Lambert will hope that the addition of Gil can provide a bit of a creative spark to his sputtering attack. Weve been on the lookout for a creative player and he will certainly bring that extra element to the side, said Lambert. Hes only 22 but he will come here and give us something I dont think we have at the moment. He can play either role, coming in off the sides or playing in behind as well. He can create chances and get those chances put away. He has a lot to offer and I know we can get the best out of him. Adam Morrison Jersey . The time off didnt slow them down.

After Edinson Cavani had pulled a goal back for PSG, midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored a fortuitous goal deep into injury time as PSG took advantage of playing with an extra man for most of the second half after Saint-Etienne midfielder Fabien Lemoine was sent off. "It was a difficult night for us, it was an intense game," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. "Saint-Etienne are really good at home and they dont let you breathe." Saint-Etienne rocked PSG as it played without fear and took the game to Blancs side. Last season, Saint-Etienne won away to PSG, drew at home and knocked PSG out of the League Cup quarterfinals, and it looked in complete control after goals from wingers Benjamin Corgnet and Romain Hamouma. "I think we were too average to get the three points and Saint-Etienne deserved at least a point," Blanc said. But after Lemoines red card in the 58th minute, Cavani turned in Maxwells cross from the left 10 minutes later for his seventh goal of the season and then Matuidis lofted pass beat goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier after bouncing in front of him with Cavani almost getting the final touch. "I am proud of my players, but I feel disappointed for them because we gave everything and we caved in with a player less," Saint-Etienne coach Christophe Galtier said. "Its a shame, but the crowd can be proud of them." Earlier, Monaco beat Lyon 2-1 thanks to Radamel Falcaos eighth goal of the season and Mounir Obbadis first. PSG spent most of the first half on the back foot as Corgnet went close with a shot from 25 metres and then scored in the 18th minute following a bad error from PSG centre half Marquinhos. The Brazilian was far too casual as he cleared the ball and hit it straight to Hamouma. He then teed up Corgnet just inside the penalty area and his first-time shot flew past PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and into the top right corner. Brazilian striker Brandao went close to doubling Saint-Etiennes lead but dragged his shot just wide of the post in the 29th, and midfielder Loic Perrin headed wide from a corner for a dominant home side. Kemba Walker Jersey. The second goal came in the 51st when Sirigu came out to claim a cross and fumbled the ball as centre half Alex jumped up at the same time as him. The loose ball fell to Marquinhos, but his terrible clearance bounced off Thiago Mottas leg and fell to Hamouma, who clipped it into the net. "If you dont play well against teams like this youre in trouble and thats what happened," Blanc said. "We made two huge errors in defence and we were punished." PSG was thrown a lifeline when Lemoine got a second yellow card for a foul on Ezequiel Lavezzi. Lemoine, with blood pouring from his face following the challenge, had to be restrained and then dragged away by Saint-Etiennes staff as he furiously contested the decision. "We deserved the win, but we have to keep this attitude if we want to do well this season," Hamouma said. "The red card changed everything." It became increasingly hard for Saint-Etienne to hold out and Cavanis goal set up a frantic finale. "We showed that we have character and heart and were still unbeaten," Matuidi said. "But we came up against a great Saint-Etienne side and a great crowd. We lost games like this last season but this time we came back to 2-2." Earlier, Obbadi gave Monaco the lead with a powerful half-volley into the top right corner. Falcao added a another goal in the first half with a clinical finish before striker Bafetimbi Gomis pulled a goal back for Lyon after the break. Falcao had not scored in his previous three league games but put an end to his mini-slump in fine style. A long pass from defence deflected off the back of midfielder Joao Moutinho and fell to Falcao. He sprinted into the penalty area down the right, beat the left back for pace and expertly chipped the ball over Lopes as he charged off his line. "Falcao works hard for the team, he closes down, he holds the ball up," Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri said. "Everyone should try and play for him more." Also, Cheick Dibate and Ludovic Obraniak scored late goals as Bordeaux beat 10-man Montpellier 2-0. ' ' '  |
