Save it till the summer till we splash the cash on a creative midfielder. What we need in January is a DM and an experienced CB. We have plenty of goals in this side we just need to keep them out the other end

Hmmm an Argentine who can only play in Argentina due to cultural factors....reminds me of players from another country, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet.

think that's rather harsh... Riquelme took Villarreal into the Champions League with some wonderful performances and all the way to the semi-finals of the competition the following season...

the fact that the team have reinvented themselves since then has a lot to do with Pires' form and Pellegrini's coaching ability, but Riquelme is still a great player - albeit one who can be marked out of a game, as Mexico did it the WC

I have to say that Riquelme rejected us for footballing reasons, which to my mind makes him worthy of respect. Even if some would have loved for him to come to the Lane, at least he didn't turn us down for some sort of big money move to one of the Top Bastards*. He's even stated that he'll play for Boca for free for a year, which shows that football is his top priority. Good on him.

*Top Bastards is a new term to denote Man Utd, Liverpool, the Scum and the Scum Mk II. Please feel free to use it regularly.
