Cuellar: Looks to take opportunity

The former Rangers player admits Dunne's absence will be a big loss to Villa but would like the chance to play in his preferred centre-back role.

Cuellar has also been employed in both full-back roles by Villa boss Alex McLeish.

He told the club's official website: "The gaffer has got options to change the team around but the worst thing is we will miss Dunney because he was playing so well and he was very important for us.

"It is the gaffer's choice but I'll be happy even if I play on the left or the right - I just love to play for the club.

"My natural position is centre-back so it will be good if I could play some games there but I was feeling good playing right or left too."

t's a bit sad to see Bosingwa leaving after he finally seemed to show some defensive ability when moved to centre back against Barca, but at least we'll be forced to pick up some sort of right fullback as cover. His new haircut seemed to decrease the prominence of the monobrow too.

ou realise this means he'll have more free time to tweet, appear on newsnight, and google philosphers... ban seems about right, but there will never be consistency from the FA, so that completely undermines any possible lesson to the kids. Apart from the lesson about being part of an important cash cow.
