Now, who’s the man?

We all know that the weakest link in our team is the Left Back spot – a position that was once occupied by the likes of the legendary Roberto Carlos, not so legendary Gabriel Heinze and a fairly decent Raul Bravo in the past decade or so and now there is Marcelo, Drenthe and Arbeloa who to be fair to them are not real Left Backs.

If there should be any reinforcements in January then it definitely should be to that position in our team. Most of the crucial goals that we have conceded have been because of the lack of a major presence on the extreme left hand side of the defence or so to speak.

Marcelo is great in attack. No doubts about that. And R.R.Drenthe can do a lot of Dutch rap. No doubts about that as well. What we need is a player who can defend in that position and can support the attack by whipping in crosses and not try and dribble into the center and smack goals into the opponents goal. No thats not what we need. We have enough people to do that.

That brings us to today’s poll.

Para Siempre Blanco!

Hala Madrid!!
