How about Roy Makaay from Feyenoord? He's played 443 games for 227 goals, that's 1 nearly every 2 games. Maybe he's gettin on a bit but surely we could get another 2-3 years out of him. He's a proven goalscorer in the Dutch league and he already has 11 this season.
I know it's the Dutch league and we would probably have doubts over whether he can cut it in the premiership, but I'd love to give him a go up alongside Torres.
Don't know what he'd be worth but wouldn't mind if Rafa sent out a scout to check on him and sniff around to see if he's available or not.
Another player, I'd love to see us look at, and I've mentioned it before, is Ibrahim Afellay....He's supposed to be the next Christiano Ronaldo without the diving and cheating. He plays for PSV, is 21 years and is a right sided midfielder but can also play centre if need be. He won the Dutch football talent of the year 2007.
I've seen him a few times when I've watched the Dutch league and he has a go, not afraid to take on his man down the right side and loves to put in a wicked cross. Rafa get your scouts out to watch him as well and let us know what you think.
