Berbatov would be perfect but of course he's staying at Spurs (rightly IMO rather than move to the top 4 club and widen the gap).

yes, rafa's valencia formation. the formation that valencia made monkeys out of liverpool in the champs league then!!!

actually, with this formation, the lone striker who could create on his own is also a very important trait... eto'o would certainly excel in that role. he has been playing the lone striker for barca and mallorca... if i m not wrong again...
