Hmmmm, you really have nothing to say do you? Even Elano could do a job at RB. Again Defensively no worse than Maicon. Means we get to keep Elano and he'd be great coming forward. So there you go Richards, Zab, Onouha, Elano could all do a job there. Why do we need Maicon? That's my point simple enough. We have more pressing weaknesses elsewhere. Target men= very important. Too often last season our defense was put under pressure needlessly because the ball came back too quickly off the front man (who failed to hold it up). This meant our defense weren't able to push up to condense the space in midfield therefore making it easier for the opposition to find space and make quick passing movements through us. This hopefully won't happen this season as often due to the arrival of RSC and hopefully Eto'o. Two vital buys for us. Barry will help covering for Robinho on the left giving Bridge a bit more support and license to go forward too (or Lescott if he's there). Another vital buy. Tevez will give us more steel and pressuring ability particularly away from home. Not a vital buy but a very useful one. Maicon would be a luxury which I would rather do with out. That's my point plain and simple.
