Guti is inconsistent as hell and clearly shouldnt be the regular starter at our club. Hes been this way his whole career. He'll play one night as if hes the best player in the world. Then, the next 4-5 games, he plays like utter garbage.
Our starting strikers are 31 and 30. Karim Benzema would be an excellent addition and an investment for the future. He'll be able relieve pressure from RvN immediately. Then, eventually, replace him. It doesnt have to be Benzema but hes my ideal pick. Saviola has been terrible when hes played and I think Ive had more playing time than Soldado.
Michel Salgado is 32 and basically: a disaster waiting to happen on the right.
we lost many players from last year and thus had go through a rebuilding stage. We lost Roberto Carlos, David Beckham, Emerson, Ronaldo, Jose Antonio Reyes, Cicinho, Ivan Helguera among other players last year. They had to be replaced and thats why you saw many purchases last summer. We'll see certain leave this time around and similiar additions will have to be made.
Even if the Champions League was won.. These changes would have to be made. I base these targets on our performance through La Liga.
