I really think we should be going for this player. Here's why:
1) He would only cost about [SIZE=-1]£[/SIZE]3-6m.
2) Barca would probably let him leave, although he has recently won himself back into the first team and is playing well.
3) He would be excellent playing in our midfield. He's maybe not a typical playmaker, but a player that's very intelligent. he's great at distributing the ball around, one of the best link-up players in the game, and has a great eye for a killer defence-splitting passes. Plays simple passes and likes to be involved in the play, without taking too many touches each time. If we would play him with a good DM, or just with another good midfielder that can get stuck in, he would do wonders. And he scores a lot of goals, because he's a natural striker.
4) He's got a great attitude. Played at Chelsea for six years and never complained about anything. He was sometimes out of the team, and they bought a lot of strikers in these six years, but not once, did he go off crying in the papers. And what's better, he's one of those guys that never gives up. If he's out of the team, and has even been told "we don't need you" he still keeps fighting for his place in the team. Which is exactly what he's done at Barca this season. He was told in the summer that he could leave but he decided to stay. And he pushed his way back into the team in October and has been playing regularly since, both as a sub and as a starter. That's really something, when you consider he started the season as striker number 7 and fifth in midfield. And at Chelsea he fought for his place against players like Crespo, Drogba and Zola and always was first-choice at the end of the season. Maybe that doesn't matter, but i like players that show loyalty and are professional.
5) He's very versatile and can play in midfield, in the hole behind the strikers, and as a striker. He's most effective in midfield and as a second striker. He can play on the wings as well, but only when his team is chasing the game.
6) He's got loads of experience.
7) He's proven in the premier league.
One question is; would he want to join us?
...so what do you think?
