Good acquisition. It opens the door for several forwards at Spurs,
incluiding some in the Spanish league, like Villa and even Eto'o.

The general thought on the boards is that Benitez wants someone that
can be subordinate to Torres, that is not toooo "expressive" (both in
temperement and playing style) and that will play in a withdrawn role
wihtout moaning.
Liverpool's starting to look like the Valencia teams that won La Liga,
you get the sense that Benitez knows exactly what he wants even if it
is unconventional (i.e. no 'wingers', preference for workmanlike
players, etc). That might need another 2 seasons or so to come to
fruitition. Will Benitez get that time?

His 2004 side was basically (though he rotated a lot)
Torres Marchena Ayala Carboni
Baraja Albelda
Rufete/Angulo Angulo/Aimar Vicente
Mista (Ricardo Oliveira)
In general it was more attacking than Liverpool, though certainly
caution is part of his psyche.
That might need another 2 seasons or so to come to
