Saviola, Drenthe & Higuain Can Replace Robinho & Migule Torres Deserves A Raise

What is next: sucking Arabs' .......%$
I was just playing PES 2008 on my Playstation and I beat Barcelona 3-1 At the Cam Nou. The difficulty level was "Campione" (in English: champion) and it is the most difficult level in which the opposing team would really kick your ass.
I lined up Saviola and Nistelrooy in attack, while Robben and Drenthe on the wings. They were awesome!
It just that this match got me thinking about who would replace Robinho from the existing team? I think If Schuster playes Robben on the left where he is probably more comfortable, we could use both Saviola and Higuain on the right.
Saviola is a talented player. He is fast, smart and has the experience. I think he could play as a winger on the right or on the left according to his preference. I don't remember, but I'm sure I once saw him (hmm, either with Barcelona or Sevilla) playing on either wings.
In addition to Saviola, we could also use Higuain. Capello tried that already and he wasn't bad. He seems to be comfortable on the right and he could be a replacement for Robinho.
Drenthe as well can replace Robinho. I really do believe in this lad. He is just so talented, and what I really like about him is that he is super fast. One thing that he probably lacks is ball control especially in front of goal. If he could focus on that and improve in that aspect, he would be an awesome player.
I know that this might seem little odd (the theory based on my playstation game) but it was just an inspiration for me to think about this issue.
I know that we have Van Der Vaart who is definitely the replacement for Robinho but what if he gets injured? Or what if Robben gets injured (God forbid that, we need the dude)? Schuster would be in a fucking problem!
Calderon have from now until January to tie up an effective replacement. Whether that would be Capel, Diego, Villa or whoever that would be, someone needs to be brought in, because with this hole in our squad, the Champions League would be pretty difficult to snatch.
Anyway, I have recently read an interview with Miguel Torres in which he talked about his career at Real Madrid. He has been at the club for 14 years, can you believe it? He says he joined when he was about eight I guess and has since then been a Madridista.
He admitted that it was Capello who brought him to the scene. He said, hadn't been Capello, he would have been playing for Castilla or a first-division crappy team, but what is shocking to me is that he only earns $30,000! Oh c'mon! For Godsake, Calderon, is this a salary? He is a professional footballer!
I believe he deserves a high raise in his salary. Nevertheless, he says he is happy at Madrid and says he will not allow his agent (who happens to be his uncle) to act like Robinho's and be a pimp, you know that sorta of guy.
Hala Madrid!

Van der vaart cant play as a wing (either right or left).he is an attacking midfielder.Higuain isnt a true striker,maybe a forward.So i still think we need a striker.
True. My bad. He is a Zidane kind of player. :p
A winger more than a striker i say, though. An explosive footballer, with a lot of creativity.
hmmm..Drenthe played on the right last game and was a disaster. Immediately Robben shifted to the left when Drenthe came in. Higuan was on the left all game where his position is right. I don't know why Schuster did this.
I beleive Drenthe should be on the left and Robben on the right. Van Der Vaart nor Sneijder are wingers and as I always said we have no wingers except Robben / Drenthe. So yes we are in deep shit and I hope we sign some quality players. Also I have no faith for CL since most probably if we get any player probably would have played with his former team in the CL so he won't be elgible. Provided we have no injuries maybe we can make it with the current squad but I have big doubts. Calderon / Mitazobbi screwed everything this summer - and I am bit angry
Torres is a good player. Capello gave him a chance and he delivered. I think he deserves a raise. He is loyal and I think he may be the future of the club along side De La Red, Javi, Marcelo, Gago, and Higuain. I can see Drenthe as a natural replacement for Robinho. He is fast all he needs is more playing time and better ball work. I think the Netherlands U21 use him on the right. Im not sure though. Sneider can also play on the wings. Van Der Vart is more effective behind the strikers. Saviola can also play in the wings like he did with Sevilla. I don't think we are desperate for a winger I think we need a striker more, but we will see this winter transfer window.
have real bought Mateo Musacchio from riverplate ?
i've heard they bought him and loaned him back to riverplate just the same as Garay .
Anyone got any of this ? 
JUST DONT SELL RICKY DRENTHE HE IS THE NEXT BIG THING IF CALDERON SELLS HIM HE SHOULD GET FIRED.

Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Robben, can all play on wings, either left or right.
Drenthe can play as a left defender or winger.
Higuain can play as a striker or a right attacking midfielder. And Raul, 2 or 3 years ago also played in that position for Real.
I don't argue that we need a replacement for Robinho (I also stated that Capel, Carzola, Riberry, Nasri, Quaresma would be great replacements, but we lost almost every single one of them, as some of the lads signed new contracts for their respective clubs, or signed for other teams [i.e. Arsenal]), but I think Schuster's got pretty good alternatives for the right winger position. Their not Figo or Solari (man they played good together) but they're the next best thing. It's going to be an interesting winter on the transfer market for us.
