Not managed to see much La Liga this year so I can't really comment on him. We were linked with the Argentina, Oscar Trejo, at Mallorca a few years back but nothing materialized. I doubt Rafa will be given money in January.

Aduriz is a belter. 2nd team Mallorca, liked them since 1999 when they lost 9-8 in the Copa Del Rey Final pens. Some crackibng strikers churned out over the years in Dani, Tristan, Pandiani, Eto'o, Luque. The team of Roya, Olaizola, Marcelino, Nadal, Soler, Engonga, Lauren, Ibagaza, Stankovic, Dan...had one of the best defensive records in europe earlier in the decade.

Juan Arango my personal favourite. One of most underated players in Europe.

We were heavily linked with him at a point as well.

Hope there was some irony in that post.

Being a workhorse is nowhere near good enough though.. Kuyt has been utterly atrocious for the last 5/6 games and he needs to be dropped. I'd play Benayoun right hand side as he is much more effective there. Tomorrow night I'd like to see

Reina

Johnson
Carragher
Agger
Insua

Lucas
Aquilani

Benayoun
Gerrard
Aurelio/Babel/El Zhar/Riera

Torres

Any news on Aquilani starting?

I'd be gobsmacked if he didn't. Especially as Mascherano needs a fitness test (along with Johnson) tomorrow. Either way, I'd be giving Mascherano a rest tomorrow.
