Carlos is a very experienced professional who played a prominent role in a Colombian team which captured everyone’s imagination at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil. He does the simple things really well and he’s excellent at spotting the danger, dealing with it and keeping it simple.We’ve beaten other teams to bring him here to Villa.
