If he does come, and if he wants to play his favored 4-3-3 formation, i would be happy to see him give Babel a chance in that wide-forward role.
............................Pepe......................
Johnson.....Carra....Agger.......Konche
Gerrard....one of the cunts....Meireles
Kuyt...............Torres................Babel
He has previously used Kuyt and Babel in those roles, hasn't he?
Anyway, that team will not win titles, as it clearly has a lot of weak players. But it can move up the table to the top half by playing some good football. I think realistically we can't ask for more than that this season.
I like two things about him...
1. If there was one manager who can bring the best out of the youngsters Kelly, Jonjo, Wilson, Pacheco etc...it has to be Rijkaard. We also have someone in our youth setup that has already worked with him.
2. He has always played attacking football.
