He joined LFC 3 months for as one of the most expensive midfielders in LFC's history. Some said 17 mils..some said 20 mils.Whatever the tag was,the hype is high.He has to perform.Many questioned Rafa's move of buying him despite his recurrent ankle injuries but to be honest after a very short 15 mins of display against Arsenal in Carling Cup, I would say that we have bought a good player who might even be better than Xabi Alonso. Why ?
1. He's still only 23 years old .
2. Alonso took 2 years before he became who he was when he left LFC.
3. He has pace that Alonso didn't have.
4. He can dribble.
5. The overhead kick he did against Arsenal showed his agility.
6. Able to attack and defend quickly due to his pace.
7. We'll be able to play in absence of Gerrard as he can cover as attacking midfielder.
Anyway...I know its still a long way to go. I only hope for the better for Aqulani and I am quite positive that he will be in the same ranks (if not better) with our x-midfield maestro - Xabi Alonso.LFC had never failed to produce the finest midfielders in the history of English football and I think there'll be no exception on this Italian youngster.
Hope we'll buy better players in January and I'm hoping that its gonna be Juan Mata or David Silva or DAVID VILLA ! Either one will be good (I wish we get ALL THREE!)
