Morientes? Bellamy?
Morientes is quality, of that there is no doubt, but he could not adapt to the Premiership. Too advanced in age and too used to playing a certain way, but he was and still is a class act. it just didn't work out.
Bellamy is a player that is very effective when deployed correctly and IMHO still has a use at Anfield, although he will probably be off. I like the lad and like it or hate it, he's got that nasty edge to his game that makes him different to what we have.
one thing is though and it was nailed elsewhere in the post is the fact that the strikers need a run in the side. it's the most confidence driven position on the pitch and if you're scoring, you should stay in the side, simple as. Mind you though, the premiership has such a diversity of sides that (for instance) we could play Crouchie and Kuyt and they'd be effective against Utd, Arsenal, etc, but would struggle against more physical sides such as Sheff Utd, Bolton, etc, which is where Bellamy would come into his own.
It's horses for courses I suppose and one of the justifications for Rafa changing the side in the way that he does. (No game is the same and no opposition is the same)
I've rapidly come to the conclusion that you can no longer have the attitude that you should only worry about your own side and let them worry about you instead for this very reason.
