to get back on thread ..the lack of width in the side is, as we all know, criminal and was exposed again yesterday......Kuyt on the right isnt the answer...yeah he's industrious, a grafter blah blah blah...but he appears to break out into a cold sweat whenever he sees the whites of the opponents goal posts...not a particularly good attribute for an attacker. Riera may or may not be the elastoplast that we need on the left - cant recall him setting Moss-side alight last time he was here? ...but fingers crossed on that one. ........personally i would definitely have taken a punt on Celtic's Aiden McGeady ...can play either flank...quick as a whip and with more tricks than Ali Bongo....and yes its only the SPL, but class is class - and he'd roast the tezzys off at least half the premier league's defenders.......only 21, and probably available at a snip. Fook spain and portugal ..get yer a*** up the M6 Rafa!...
