Midfield creativity

i believe we still have not solved our problem with wingers
look at what a winger should do
1. go past people reguraly
2.chip in with goals
3.get regualr crosses into the box

we dont have anyone in that category
we have people who can do a job there but i honestly dont believe we have one winger of any substantial quality

Again i agree so who should Rafa sign? Realistically, we can do this all day.

Alves and Klose would solve our two biggest problems.

Gerrard aside, in general we lack pace, flair and creativity wide and in the final third.

Getting better players in is the only answer.

The likes of Pennant, Gonzalez and Crouch are predictable.

Say what you want about Garcia, but at least he can create something out nothing.

Garcia is better inside the box. We need an Aimar type of player. Diego have been excellent this season for Bremen.

Fortunately that is not true. We saw Pennant and Kuyt tear Bolton apart and they are a good defensive team.

Yeah, drill an inch wide hole in it. Great birds nest.

Kuyt is a quality player but I think it would be stretching the truth to say he is the type of player who regularly carves the opposition up. Pennant might find some consistancy yet but even if he does I can't see him being good enough to be first choice in the long term. Gonzalez I'd say has a chance of reaching the level we need, so fingers crossed on that score, but we do need a couple of quality flair players.

[AFII]

Maybe Real's Ronaldo could be a good option. He is available according to AS.

You are missing the point.

Neither of them is good enough on their own, but together they were.

Would love us to sign him, even now.

Did I mention Kuyt?

Pennant's a decent player, but where's the consistent end product?

I hate comparing the likes of Pennant to players at other clubs but when you look what the wide players the scum and the arse bring to the table for their respective teams, compare that with Pennant and Gonzalez, and there is no comparison.

Just think about it, for a similar amount of money that we paid for Pennant, Arsenal got Rosicky.

Not having a go at Rafa but we don't seem to be bringing in (Garcia aside) any players with flair, or who can do something off the cuff. A decent side like Arsenal with a good manager can largely negate us because we've got too many predictable players.

What I´m saying is new players is not the only solution and Kuyts and Pennants performance against Bolton is a good example of that.

No it isn't, but having players with more ability wouldn't half help.
