Transfer Trivia-I


So,the European Season has come to the close,with no major upsets at the final hurdle,with Chelsea,Barcelona,Inter and Bayern Munich wrapping up their domestic titles,and waht only remains to be seen is who is crowned Europe's Best in the Champions League Final.But,most big clubs are already starting to re-build for the next season,with many Big name transfers looking possible this summer.So,in this blog,I'm just trying to analyze who these clubs really need to sign,what they have lacked this season.It'll be a brilliant discussion if you can post your ideas in the comment box as well.
Starting with Barcelona,the Catalan giants have been heavily linked with a move for Franck Ribery and Cesc Fabregas,both of them highly creative playmakers.But,do Barca need any more creativity??? They really have enough of it,with the likes of Xavi,Iniesta,Pedro,and the best player in the World in Lionel Messi.What they really need is an Outright Goalscorer.Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not been good enough to justify his massive transfer fee,and just if Barca had someone like David Villa instead of him,they could have destroyed every other team in Europe.Yes,Ibra has scored goals,but he has missed too many chances for anyone's liking.Against Arsenal in First leg,a lot was made of his 2 goals,but I really feel any Decent striker could have had much more than that,with Barca's creative brains putting Gunners to the sword that night,but thanks to Ibra,Barca could only manage a 2-2 draw.So,someone like David Villa or even a Luis Fabiano would be really handy for them.
As far as the English Champions Chelsea are concerned,they have really got an in-depth squad.The fact that players like Joe Cole and Kalou and Deco can't get into first-team speaks for that.They have the best striker in the World in Didier Drogba,who when on song is simply unstoppable !!! Carlo Ancelotti wouldn't want to swap him for any other Forward in the world,not Wayne Rooney,not Cristiano Ronaldo,perhaps not even Lionel Messi !!!
What Chelsea really need is a magic-player,someone who can create something out of nothing ,when things are not going right for the team.And Carlo seems to have acknowledged that,as there are talks of Kaka arriving in London,next season.If that doesn't happen,may be they should go for Luka Modric,the brilliant Croatian playmaker,with excellent ballcontrol.They don't really need a striker,after breaking all the scoring records in EPL this season.But,still,the prospect of a Drogba-Torres combo is still magnificent.
ManUtd should really sign a striker,as Dimitar Brabatov is simply not good enough for them.Yes,he is brilliant when on song,but he doesn't really suit United's all action approach.They need Hard-workers,people like Darren Fletcher,who may not be highly gifted,but have an immense work-rate.They may also do with a defender.We have seen how injury-prone Vidic and Ferdinand are, this season.
So,I will leave all the transfer talks about remaining biggies like Madrid and Liverpool in part 2.Do remember to leave your coments.
