big week/weeks lying ahead of us...xabi alonso & david villa both facing their clubs in order to sort out their respectiv future. then there still is arbeloa & ribéry, with bayern starting training again apart from 1st of july.
what's the idea with arbeloa anyway??? i mean from a sporting perspective, not from a canterano-spaniard-perspective. i see no use for him there, unless he is to play as LB (which i know he can, as well as CB). the RB position is full with ramos & m. torres. the CB pairing is pepe & albiol, with metze & garay as back up. so, his only use would be as LB right??? that leaves the question, is he better than marcelo, thus a starter or not, thus a sub for marcelo.
judging by reputation (spain international & l'pool starter), this would look nice (at least) on paper...
ramos-----pepe---albiol-----arbeloa
personally, i would prefer marcelo as LB, since he has more to offer offensively than arbeloa IMO. but i guess arbeloa would be the better choice, since he at least knows how to defend.
PS:
still a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to benzema!!!
