Not a bad campaign in the end for Atletico, 4th spot and an unlucky exit from the Champions League without losing a game.
They've already made a couple of decent signings for next season as well, Juanito and Sergio Asenjo.
An experienced La Liga defender should provide a much needed boost to the often dodgy defence, but Atlético seem to have a habit of making reasonable defenders into shoddy ones, Asenjo is a promising keeper and so an experienced centre half like Juanito should help him settle too.
Still short of a top drawer midfielder, and good enough cover for any of the attacking quartet to even think about pushing on towards the top two though, strong links with Emmanuel Eboue don't inspire much confidence either.
