Hows this for an unsual situation. Imagine your a World Football
star, an Argentine International considered one of best & decisive
in every game, its more, your presence wins titles, like in the case of
Boca Juniors. To add more to the prestigue your voted constantly
by experts as amongst the best in the world, as in France Football
"Golden Ball" candidate & FIFA World Players voting.
Your name is JUAN ROMAN RIQUELME & you cannot get a
game in your club VILLAREAL, your a star trapped in a black hole.
Riquelme has a year & a half of contract still left at Villareal, he trains
daily with his team & gets paid his salary as agreed, but is never called
up to play for his side.
A fierce arguement with his coach Pellegrini has banished Riquelme to
exile. The team is doing very well without him & it looks like he will
never play with the yellow canary shirt again.
Many clubs are interested in the Argentine, like Atletico de Madrid
(who almost bought him, but stopped the operation which says
something), Manchester City, Boca Juniors, Fluminense...etc.
What halts the operations?
The high transfer price, his high salary ( out of reach for most) &
a personality that is contagious & infectious for the whole team
in a negative & destructive manner (said by others or those interested
in justifying the situation, eg his current coach & club sources)
The player is hoping that when the "Winter transfer market" opens
on the 1 of January 2008 he situation will change & that he can
go elsewhere to play his football. Lets hope so, SFS would like to see
this star escape the gravitational force of his current club, & of his
conflictive personality, & return to shine again in the universe of
Football.

Would he fit at Tottenham?
Surely, this is roaming the mind of Juande. The Rilqueme story continues...
