Guest float one in Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Probably my favourite current player. Its a real treat to watch him when he's playing well in a team thats giving him the ball all the time... I really hope he's playing well when the next World Cup comes around.

Skirge Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_4998627,00.html Riquelme content at Boca Argentine happy to stay in homeland By Francisco Acedo Last updated: 3rd March 2009 Football Betting - Wednesday's Top Scoring Match Juan Roman Riquelme insists his heart belongs to Boca Juniors amid reports linking the Argentine with a move to Newcastle United. The talented playmaker returned to his homeland initially in a loan switch from Villarreal in 2007, but has since made his Boca stay a permanent arrangement. Riquelme made his name as a classy schemer in Spain while plying his trade at first Barcelona and then more successfully with Villarreal. He has played some excellent football in South America and appears to be content to see out the remainder of his playing days in Argentina. Newcastle are thought to be already planning potential targets for next season but if, as speculated, Riquelme is on their list he could take some persuading. "I am happy at my home and I want to play for many years at Boca," Riquelme told Radio Del Plata. "In Europe I had a year at Barcelona that wasn't so good and after that I had four-and-a-half years at Villarreal as good as at Boca. "My dream is to win the title at Boca and gain a place in Argentina's squad, alongside Maradona, for the World Cup in 2010. "In my life the question of money is never a priority."

Villarreal play with 2 strikers don't they? Yeah, they did generally when Riquelme was there. He could work in a 4 man midfield I reckon, just not a flat one. He'd work fine sat behind the two strikers creating chances and laying off passes to the two upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ah right, got that one wrong. Seemed to think they employed an attacking 4-3-1-2 system with Senna holding. I blame Sky Sports Spanish Football for being inaccurate I still think he could work in a 4 man midfield, possibly a narrow one. His game is based on his intelligence, not particularly strong physical attributes, so the athleticism and stamina of the midfield around him would be a key factor in his potential success in that system.
