Riquelme

by La Saeta Rubia Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:21 pm

Strange season Riquelme is having so far. Yet again he hasn't been called up for the weekends match & this is his 5th game in a row he hasn't been called up.
Apparently he`s had a few bust up`s with some team members and with Pellegrini. Roig, Villarreal president has warned him about his attitude but nothing has changed.
A few days ago Roig renewed Pellegrini`s contract so it looks like Roig is taking the managers side. Rumours of offers for him from big european clubs are coming in, will this finally be the year he leaves ?

I think Roman R has been targeted as Villarreals key player, and just been marked out of games this season. Hes nothing but an average player, when marked, otherwise we all know what he is capable of.

His team mates should move more then.. you can't expect a player to get rid off his markers all by himself.

Another Argie ? I wouldn't mind having him but i seriously doubt Capello would want him Razz

Razz

Saviola & Riquelme wearing white would be funny Very Happy

Very Happy

My money is he`s going to Italy or back to Boca, i think he has a sick family member in argentina, not sure though.

Roman he haviing some personal issue and thus the motivation isn't their anymore, i think he that he wanted to g back to argentina at the end of the season but Inter and bayern are interested in him and he would be great for either of them because when he is on form he is only 2nd to dinho IMO.

I agree with punty.

I think Bayern may put in a serious bid for him.

He certainly wouldn't suit the EPL.

In la liga there are maybe a couple of teams that would be half interested.

Juventus may try a bid in the summer, or maybe someone like Roma

I don't know why everybody keeps saying Bayern are interested. Uli Hoeness said last week that "Bayern would be mad to sign Riquelme!"

Doesn't sound like interest to me. scratch

Overrated player. Should go back to Argentina where he'll find it easier to perform.

Has Obi seen this thread yet? Smiley

A specialist player - can be absolutely devastating if the team is channelled through him.

I spent 2 days of this week 'debating' with some tit on RAWk about Riquelme (and to a lesser extent Deco). Apparently neither are world class and he'd rather Frank Lampard in our team.

I despair.

He should come to Liverpool - Rafa likes Argies

Riquelme is a bit of a luxury player because he all he does is create and score goals. On the other hand, he's one of the best playmakers in the world in that his vision is exemplary, his ball retention excellent and he can play the sorts of passes maybe only another dozen or so players can.

The danger is that if you put him in the side to do that, and he has an off day or happens to be well marked by the opposition, he's a liability because he does so little else.

He's one for a brave manager who is willing to take risks with his tactics.

It's a pity that football has come to a state where words like "oh he's just a luxury player" are used to describe (when on form) possibly one of the best playmakers in the world. Agooner, I'm amazed that you call him overrated...surely Arsenal fans out of anyone can at least appreciate his ability after you played him in the CL last year? Or just because you beat them means everyone in their team is shit and overrated?

Anyway, I think Argentina is the best move for him with the personal issues he's been having.

I didn't say that 'he's just a luxury player', I said 'he's a bit of a luxury player', as pretty much all playmakers are.

So, before lamenting the state of football, try reading properly.

Well, a bit of exaggeration from my side just to get my point across, but fair enough. It just sounded to me from your post that you wanted him to tackle back and do some hard work in midfield, and while that's helpful, not a necessity for these kinds of players (in the right system), as Ronaldinho has shown. The state of football comment was linked to the recent trend of how so many Premiership teams just clog the midfield and go out not to lose rather than to win a game.

Sure sure, I absolutely agree that the right tactical system can afford one or two players who do none of the grunt work in midfield and that most Premiership teams would never play a technical gifted player like Riquelme over a prole like Scott Parker.

I don't think that Riquelme should change his game, just that he has to be in the right sort of team, one where the manager/coach is willing to take the risk of playing with an out and out playmaker whose sole role is attacking.

I actually agree with Agooner affraid

affraid

Players like Riquelme, Henry and, to a lesser extent, Totti are indulged by their clubs and have the whole side built around them - they should try playing for one of the really big boys where you are just another player who has to fit into the already established system.

The big problem for Riquelme is that his lack of physical qualities make it tough for him and he hasn't really got a big enough personality to be a big player at a big club.

* Obispo - anyone who said that Lampard is better than Deco is not someone you should even be discussing football with - don't bother next time.

For "physical qualities" simply re: pace, because his upper-body strength can't be doubted.
