Brian, your arguments againts him are polemic rubbish. He played a fantastic Copa Americana. To reduce this on the final against Brasil - that´s ridiculous.

There are no numbers yet published but I'm guessing that the price will be somewhat less than it would have been before the start of the season. In my opinion however certain clubs have dodged a bullet with this guy, he certainly is not a team player off the field and a team such as Arsenal who are built around 'team players' could well have become unstable if this guy had put pen to paper.

I was there and remember the look on his face before he took it - the colour drained out of it and you just knew he was going to miss it. I think it has preyed on him ever since. He is a great player but blows hot and cold and can undermine a team because they have to play for him if he is to perform at his best. Villarreal aren´t missing him that much this season and for me the only two teams he will ever really be happy in are Boca and Argentina.

I think England is the best place for him, Maybe Man Unitede, Liverpool, Arsenal Or Chelsea Then u will see what the best player in the world can do. He will outshine Ronaldo,Gerrard,Fabregas & Lampard...The only player i think that you can still compare to Riquelme is Messi,Kaka & Malouda I dont want him to go to a country like spain or italy.
