I couldn't agree more with the fact that youtube clips only show one side but at the same time you could say about pretty much any player in world football right now that when they are not on their game the worst of players can have them in their pocket all match.
Even Ronaldo is terrible in some matches and you forget hes on the field when he isnt at his best.
Theres something I dont like about Joaquin I don't know what it is but I haven't liked him since he left betis for valencia, I always thought he was too good for betis and wasnt suprised to see him leave but since he left he seems like he has changed to me.
As for Quarsema and villa I would say yes to both most certainly as they are the type of player I like, I would like to see them two players bought (but I would gladly take Sergio Aguero if we couldnt get villa) along with a couple of others in the shape of Either David Silva or matias fernandez and Jeremy Menez, preferably the latter if we had to choose between Fernandez and Menez.
The reason being that they are both only 21 years of age yet play like they are alot older and I think it is important that we get a bit more young talent into the side. We have some of the best young talent around in the shape of Torres, Mascherano, Agger, Babel Lucas,Skrtel (looks the real deal too) and I would like to see us get even more. I think we have a good few players with experience and we would have a good balance of youth and experience with these players brought in.
I watch alot of world football and these are players that I have seen and am pleased we have shown interest in them, Our wings and our Strikers are the main problem at the moment if you ask me. The left wing needs to be filled urgently, Babel is doing a good job but I think he will be ready to be a striker next season. The right I think is less worrying I think pennant and benayoun are both good but I feel benayoun is better sitting behind the strikers and another RM would push pennant and get him to show how good he can be.
----------------------------------------Reina/Itandje------------------------------------
Arbeloa/Finnan------Agger/Hobbs---Carra/Skrtel-----------Aurelio/Insua
------------------------------Mascherano/Alonso-------------------------------
Pennant/Quaresma--------------------------------------Silva (or Fernandez)/Menez
---------------------------------Gerrard/Lucas/Benyoun------------------------------------
-----------------------Babel/Villa/Aguero-----Torres/Crouch----------------
(if not villa)
A squad something like that give or take a few players next season would be amazing. It would cost us immensely but I would get rid of a few players to make some profit e.g. Carson, Guthrie, Riise etc.
Alot of the players in that line up are versatile like menez can play CM, on either wing or upfront. And I feel we need a big change but too keep the general spine of the team, 1we need to get rid of the players that arent ruthless enough and that have too many bad games.
My ins would be:
Menez
Silva or Fernandez
Chiellini
Quaresma
Villa
Aguero (if not villa
)
And i'd bring back Anderson and Hammill from their loans, Look like great youngsters and could be used instead of buying Silva/Fernandez.
and outs would be:
Carson
Guthrie
Riise
Kuyt
Voronin
Kewell
It would cost and would take a little while for players to gel but I think they would have the quality to and we would have the firepower to sustain a serious title challenge. And these are players that seem like they would like to join us. Seems unlikely that we would get all of them but even just a few would improve the team alot.
EDIT: Sorry for the long post btw everyone.
