because sometimes the Xabi thread just isn't enough... Yeah I know, but hear me out. Who was the best player to come to Anfield last season? A player who showed work rate, desire, skill, vision, team work and an eye for goal? A player who proved even throughout that game he was just a natural footballer who was dangerous wherever he got the ball? I have heard about the problems and they are serious, but given that this lad was being touted at prices upwards of 12m and you could probably get him for half that now at least I reckon he could be worth talking to at least. Apparently Pana are looking to take him on loan! When he was happy and on form he was as good as anyone in the league and he tore us apart like nothing I can remember in an average side. He fits our criteria perfectly as people are hardly knocking down his door and he realises he has to prove himself and watch his attitude so I reckon he would be willing to play either wing in the 3 or up top when Torres is out. He is a better option for me than Tevez and the only thing Tevez has over him is his attitude OFF the field. He is 26 years old now so surely he realises that he needs to grow out of stupid things like missing training. I'd take the punt personally if I sat down with him and told him exactly what would be expected from him from the start. Ferguson has made a habbit of taking "bad boys" and settling them down and getting the best out of them. Could Rafa do the same? Zaki for the first half of the season was probably best forward in the league. Just one last question, I've noticed he isn't playing for Egypt anymore either. Why is that? Surely if the only problem was him returning from national side games and he is no longer playing for his national side, there is no problem? He wanted to go back to Wigan, imagine how he would jump at a chance to play for us!
