If we get him in on say a two year deal, he'd provide cover for Jovanovic on the left. Then we'd have Maxi, Kuyt, Jovanovic and Garcia who could all play on the wings. Cole and Pacheco could also be makeshift wingers (we've still got Gerrard and Aquilani who could play behind Torres or even potentially Pacheco). If Gerrard is pushed up, still have Lucas, Mascherano and Poulson. Only concern is that he's 32 but if he holds up for a year or two, we could move Babel on and use the money to reinforce other areas of the squad such as left back or perhaps another forward.
N'Gog is good yes, but I'm not 100% sure he can lead the line by himself. The competition will do him no harm either way. If Torres is out, I'd like the strength in depth to play 2 or even 3 up front should it be required.
