What we need is a clear identity, WC players or someone who is clearly going to become one very quickly and remove anyone who's not good with the ball and can only do one thing well.
It doesn't matter if Toni Kroos is 29, he's a top 5 midfielder in the world and if we can get him, we get him. Doesn't matter that Cavani is 32, he's a beast and so hungry in every game, just like Tevez was. We need high character guys, someone with an attitude on the pitch. It was so painful to see Emre freaking Can yelling at 9 teammates to wake up and start pressing and fighting against Ajax. That would never happen with Lichtsteiner, Tevez, Marchisio, Vidal, etc.
I want to have that kind of a team again. Now we're so bland, I have no confidence in 90% of the team to push against adversity, no one with balls.
