Departures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Villarreal-CF-c40899 – La Liga Special
Juan Carlos Garrido has a small first team roster and with the likely departures of Giuseppe Rossi and Santi Cazorla, the Castellon club would end up short on quality players. The Yellow Submarine have participation in UEFA Champions League to look forward
to but the squad at hand would hardly be a confidence booster, neither for fans nor the manger.
Cash-rich clubs arriving at the doorsteps of smaller yet ambitious outfits seeking solutions to their uneventful campaigns has become the norm. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 and now it is the
turn of North Spain’s enterprising club, Villarreal.
Diminutive striker Rossi has been negotiating a move away from Villarreal to entertain Juventus fans, while Cazorla is wanted by fellow La Liga club Malaga CF and North London-based outfit, Arsenal. The players are the foundations on which the Yellow Submarine
based their efforts around.
Rossi shouldered attacking responsibilities, scoring 32 goals in all competitions, while Santi Cazorla steadied the ship in midfield, also adding to the teams cause with important goals. With a limited squad available, the duo barely missed a game for the
Spanish side as they fought for a Champions League qualification spot.
It is true that Villarreal will have a cash windfall when they let go of their prized possessions. They can reinforce the squad with greater numbers. However, it’s a far cry from the ground realities in professional football where quality overpowers quantity.
The Vila Real outfit will not be able to replace the quality of these professionals, who have developed into the stars they are at the club.
Replacing Rossi will be a hard task as there are few in world football who can match the pedigree of the seasoned attacker. The Italian international can be deployed in a variety of different formations and can be relied upon to complete his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to perfection.
Versatile in attack, he can play as a lone forward despite his petite frame. However, his exploits on the left wing have made his stock rise. The ability to slot behind a traditional centre forward or playing in the mould of an attacking midfielder are just
some of his abilities. Villarreal can bring in Dani Osvaldo from Espanyol or try out Sevilla FC’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Negredo-c5294, but they will command hefty price tags and do not guarantee similar results.
The scenario remains the same for Santi Cazorla, who has been the subject of a 20 million Euro bid from cash rich Malaga CF. His suitors have been told to cough up the 30 million Euros release clause to prise him away.
Cazorla is among the few players in La Roja setup who do not hail from Barcelona or Real Madrid and this says a lot about his pedigree. Few in the world can match the genius of Spanish national team’s squad members, and they certainly do not come on the
cheap.
Villarreal can cash-in on their prized possessions but should they really? They will have to bring in players who can match the genius of the outgoing players. Garrido will have to dive in the transfer market to buy players of similar repute in preparation
for the Champions League. The players will not come cheap, while finding such prospects would be a task more difficult to accomplish than the price tags.
