Def isn't fair to call someone a failure based on a few months of performance. I honestly can't see Kaka's style working for Real or Benzema becoming effective on that side but it's too soon to write anyone off. How can anyone be worth those prices anyway? You would need to score 5 goals a game and celebrate by shitting gold to really impress me. Ronaldo doesn't really care what group of players surround him, he is still going to show everyone why he is the best footballer in the world IMO.
As for some of those players, they have been injuried for some of the season. I haven't seen Aquilani at all, Robben and Santa Cruz have spend a good amount of time sidelined as well. Unfortunate, but that doesn't make someone a miss. Santa Cruz has scored a few times, and Robben has been good for Bayern-making those important passes, and bringing is style to Bayern. On the other hand, Gomez has scored 8 goals out of 1900000000 attempts so he's doing excellent.
I would spend 25 million to see Adebayor score and run all the way to the Arsenal fans side and celebrate in front of them! That is by far the best football moment of the season. He is free to be lazy and score own goals for the rest of the season. That was beautiful.
Anyway it's hard to be a hit for those prices people. The real hits are the teams that spend 8 million, and got top scorers, or those that spend only a one million finally aquired that decisive defender.
