    20 plus goals on the way. This could be the last piece of the puzzle for rafa.

    depends how quickly he adapts though. is it worth having him for the first 3rd/half of the season as cheap but scoring little, in a gamble on whether he'll be amazing later? don't know.

    Another big question...

    Will he start or will he be "rotated."

  4. You have to think he's too valuable (or costly) to rotate. But is it Torres plus one from Voronin, Kuyt, and Crouch? Only Rafa knows.

    Or not.

  5. I would not expect 20+ goals from El Nino in his first season. His career best at Atletico was 19 I believe & he bagged 14 last season. Don't forget he's got to settle in a new country and get accustomed to new teammates and a style of play.

    That said, I like him as a nice cheap YFF pick right away, that will allow me to grab C-Ron.

    Hey, if he can convert penalties, he'll be an asset to the squad!
