    There are some good strikers from/in the dutch league, players like Van Basten, RvN, Makaay, Huntelaar, Larsson, Zlatan and so on. Everyone of them isn't crap.
    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

      We need to be going for players who are going to definitely IMPROVE the team, not players who can do a job.

      Show some ambition Rafa FFS

        Afonso Alves would improve our team. We need someone to put the ball into the back of the net. Alves has scored more than one goal a game since he joined Herenveen. I don't think you will find anyone in the european pro leagues that can match that the last year.

          Sorry, I don't agree. He's a journeyman donkey who used to play for Malmo

          We can't afford to risk another season on these nobodies, Rafa needs to show some ambition, put in a bid for Villa, Chiellini and Quaresma

            Just because he has played in Sweden don't make him a bad player. Larsson and Zlatan played in Sweden.

            I would say that we have a better central defender in the Swedish league than Chiellini. Ragnar Sigurdsson has been outstanding this season, the best defender in the Swedish league by a mile.

            Roma want him and a few English PL clubs are also interested.

              We're never going to agree on this one. Basically Rafa's squad building days are over, it's time to buy some first teamers now.
              We need players who are already accustomed to playing at the highest level and that excludes leagues like France, Sweden and Holland (no offense)

                At least it looks like Rafa knows exactly which positions we need to strengthen. Left back, left wing, right wing and another goal scoring striker. I'm only surprised that we have not been linked with a central defender yet.

                  Could someone who's seen him play a lot give us a quick run down of Alves' strengths and weaknesses? TIA

                    He is a set piece specialist
                    Not that fast but not that slow either
                    Good in the air
                    Good in the box
                    Can get past his man
                    Skillful but not super skillful
                    Hits the target very often
                    Don't work that hard for the team

                      Basically the Brazillian Heskey

                      No, he's more of a Dion Dublin to be fair

                        Everything you've said there just makes me want to hurl.
                        Skillful but not super skillful = mediocre
                        Not that fast but not that slow either = slow
                        Doesn't work hard for the team

                        NEXT!

                            A bit unerwhelmed by that. Will have to get a look at some of his games somehow.

                              The Heerenveen game was on Setanta tonight and the Heracles defence was a shambles. I have genuinely seen better defending in schoolboy football. Most of Alves's goals were because some of the back four pushed forward to play him offside but forgot to let their colleagues know who played him onside!

                              Scoring a hatful of goals in the Eredivisie does not guarantee you goals in the Premier League. Ask Mateja Kežman. Or Dirk Kuijt...
