Your last bit about needing someone who can unlock tight defences was one of the main reasons i wanted to see someone like silva or arshavin into the team , someone of the ability to just slide that little ball in for torres to pounce onto or keane or whoever is up there .
The "unlocking tight defences" bit is something I see Keane assisting with - he's quite tricky and clever in his play, and I can see him being the type of player who can provide that.
I noticed it early on, during the Villa game, with chances at a premium when he picked the ball up, ghosted past a defender into the box, drawing another towards him before flicking it inside to Torres, who pulled his shot wide.
Good post.
