As much as i respect Riquelme...
I think Almiron will be the surprise for us.
If he'll play like he played in Empoli we can be great and we won't need a playmaker.

He's kinda like pirlo.
Can play as AMF but doesn't have the speed for.
Can play as DMF but you can't count on him to defend alone.
He plays as CMF and do both.

According to Venezualan newspaper 'El Meridiano', Riquelme has refused the offer from Atletico Madrid. Therefore Boca are looking to extend the loan from Villarreal.

Juan Roman Riquelme, even the name reeks of class like Zinedine Zidane and Alessandro Del Piero. Lazy? Off course he is lazy, he is absolute class. Which skilful player is a water carrier with bundles of energy? The only problem is that you have to build your team around him otherwise its a bad investment. Let him just fit with the crowd is not his style, he has to be the go to guy. Choker? Apart from Zinedine Zidane, i am yet to see any great player thrive on the biggest occasions, they all seem like your everyday player when the stage is at its biggest. How many times have you seen Ronaldinho, Henry, Dp Totti et al fail to live up to your expectations in the biggest stages of all? Does it make them bad players? Nope
If we were to get him then I will be totally delight. By the way, Deco is notthat much in favour at Barcelona either, but it would be too much to ask this board to be looking at good players not when might Senderos is available.

Sometimes you guys expect too much, we have all been cryong out for a creativity but you want a creative player who would work his socks off? That aint ever gonna happen? How many big matches are there in seriea if you are indeed calling him a choker? 6 maybe against Milan, Inter and Roma. So what if he chokes in 6 matches and is absolutely brilliant in the other 28 games? Aint that enough?
Wow a midfield consisting of Roman, Deco, Tiago, Almiron, Camo, Nedved, zanetti would have me dreaming

and now I have woken up, aint gonna happen, pity, was a nice dream

So you want to buy him knowing he will choke against the only teams we will have problems with. And who is to say he will be brilliant the other games in serie a??? I think that is the stupidest thing i have heard to say that we should buy him knowing he will cjoke. You think needs him to beat empoli and other trash teams. Besides you think no creative player works hard. I guess you might be somewhat right but thats what makes Neddy so Brilliant and requlme getting shafted from Villareal. You think if Nedved was lazy we would still play him at age 34. Keep requlme out he would bring down the whole team.

No the stupidest thing is saying nedved is creative. I never said he would choke, i was just answering those guys who say he chokes in big games. The guy knows how to play and he plays at his own pace, serieA is not gungho like the premiership or la liga and he still excelled in la liga. He is a great player and he is not a waste of money. A waste of money is splashing out big on defenders. How do you know that Zebina and Boumsong cannot forge out a decent partnership? Sometimes a decent partnership comes form players who have a lot in common, not individual brilliance. Lets face it they are both quick and athletic, they are only problems is concentration, how do we know its not because they are playing iwth gusy they do not understand and communication problems. we do not know if either would form a good understanding with Andrade do we? The best combo in cl history has been Yorke and cole, but individually they were not great but together they were dynamite because they liked eachother and enjoyed playing with eachother
We do not know for sure that a partnership betwen zebina and boumsong 2 french guys or either with Andrade would be a bad combo until you try it but we do know we are lacking in creativity, its a fact not a supposition or theory
