unless iaquinta is wanting out to play a starting role elsewhere, then this is just rubbish.
Rakitic would be more useful, but so would another 20 players around the world..but it doesnt mean we are getting them.
I agree on rakitic. Normally i wouldn't want such an unproven player, but rakitic is an allround talent, and he really has got the skills. In fact, i believe he's constantly being used out of position, yet performing rather well. In NT, he's being used in the neddy-position, and i'd love him to be nedved's 'heir'. I know that he's more of a AM, playing more at the centre, but he's very versatile and i believe he plays just as good on the LMA. In fact, i believe rakitic on the left side is similar to what camo does on the right. Starting as a winger, but cutting into the middle. I'd love having him. Plus, his price apparently has been fixed to 14m euros by schalke, that's not too exagerated in my opinion. Maybe we could go for him, and get the deal done for something around 12-13 million

since when have we got a player that we really wanted in the last two years?
amauri? sissoko? ekdal? poulsen (he may not have been what YOU wanted, but apparently, we wanted him over xabi)? Come on, don't tell me we're signing players we don't want... this is ridiculous. If YOU don't want them, that's one thing, but that doesn't mean ranieri does not want them. Or do you see ranieri crying every day that we haven't got milito/xabi/flamini?
