Fantastic Balance

[Craig_H]

Have to get players who have the right mentality too. We need strong characters who will dig in when required, be that keeping their head when a chance presents or rolling up the sleeves and making last ditch tackles.

What is key though, is another Torres or Gerrard type of character. We have plenty of players in defence who will throw themselves in front of a ball. But when the team is not playing well, or things aren't going our way, we need another player who will demand the ball and strive to make something happen.

Someone who is confident in their own ability to go at teams and give us the edge. We have planty of good players, but only two world class attacking talents who will make the difference.

I dont think we'll generally have a problem when it comes to signing players with the right mentality, most of the first team squad have proven to be of a similar ilk in that respect. I think Rafa knows how to get that right, for the most part.
