What is it with rafa and his obsession with defenders? In January we landed kromkamp, agger, paletta and link with aurelio was around, when all the while we were screaming for a striker and RW (dont include robbie). Yet still there is some talk about some trabelsi guy.

Bellamy, good striker maybe, but cant match schev.

Gonzalez, good signing, but we aint got too much trouble on the leftsince (a healthy) Harry Kewell can tear it up.

Alves would be ok. Would rather see joaquin but links with joaqin were denied today. Shame. We still need one more striker andmaybe if it will be kuyt but cant be too sure. Still wondering.

Bellamy is a good striker, but also has baggage. If we were to sign pennant then we would look like a thug rehab. Pennant can cross the ball well apparently and would be a cheaper option. Not very exciting to watch but still useful. Havent seen aurelio to give a verdict. Havent seen palettaor enough of agger either.Gonzalez looked real promisng when playing for real sociedad. All i want is one more striker and one right winger so we will be set to challenge with a fully depth squad.

Overhaul chelsea is a possibility. But dont get over excited.

I got faith in Benitez, hes trying to build,with a depth of squad, on the cheap. Except Chelsea ,football clubs have realised that the books no longer balance themselves with players salaries etc vs revenues. They've got to. Look at Fulham who last season lost a premiership record of £23million, just cant happen. Its all about shrewd buying now with mangerial skills to develop players. Beneitez, Alex Fergerson and Arsene Wenger are the best in the World at it, more so Wenger i would say. Look how many unknowns he's bought and developed into top class players.

All said i agree we do need to break the bank for 1 possibly 2 world class strikers. Its not easy though. Everyone wants a top striker and that means prices get inflated, then the likes of Chelsea/R.Madrid/Barcelona/Milan and Man Uwin the bidding..., end of. Ruud Van Nisleroy is apparently unsettled, would be perfect, but Man U selling to Liverpool is a rare occurance.

Quote:

Not sure about Harry Kewell, hes just not the player he was at Leeds anymore and doesnt look capable of reserecting that sort of form again. I think hes got a confidence problem, can see it in his face. He got marginally better last season, but id sell him whilst hes got a saleable value.

Im sure these 3 new boys will be good though, they're South American, 1 Brazilian and 1 Argentinian....say no more.
