The more games we play this season, the more I am coming to thinking that a title challenge could heavily depend on whether this guy is any good or not.
As discussed in other threads the midfield is the main problem at the moment. Our options seem to be keep it the same, drop Gerrard back or hope Aquilani is the solution.
In the short term I'd drop Stevie back, but over a whole season I fear we'd lose some of our attacking strength, because we don't even have a decent centre forward to throw on alongside Torres instead.
If Aquilani settles in quickly and Benitez has got this signing right, it could save our season. Even though it's early I have to admit I have some serious reservations about us challenging, let alone winning, the title from what I've seen so far.
