He was the kid that Germany kept bringing on at the world cup. Seemed to have a lot of pace, not a great deal of finnese but he did seem to make things happen. He only moved to Betis at the start of the season. No idea how he is doing there.

Lessons from the last two summers:
You get what u pay for, buy cheap second rate s*** and end up
out of the title race before its started.
the likes of Pennant, Crouch, Gonzalez, Bellamy (good player, wrong club)
are not good enough. we desperately need two wide men who can go past a player and chip in with a few goals. The title winners from the last 10 years have had decent wide men. the likes of Pires, Giggs, Llungberg, Ronaldo, Cole, Duff etc etc can all score and create, we have not seen a decent winger since Barnes.....
But these player are few and far between, and as our Academy is failing miserable we need to spend between 15mil+ each on two wide men and a 25 goal a year forward. Then, and only then will we challenge...

Good post - cuts right to the heart of the matter.
You need gamebreakers - i.e. wingers and forwards who can create and score.
It's no use having a great defence but not being able to score the goals needed to win. You can also assemble a pretty good defence on a comparatively tight budget, but you really have to splash the cash when it comes to the forward players.

Hey - I wasn't having a pop. That's why I put the handshakes at the end Mwnci.
Gamebreaker, suppose it's the same as a matchwinner.
