Alonso- We all saw what happened to the club after he left. Amazing how much a player can do while racking up almost no stats, but he got the attention he deserved.
Torres- He did break the record for most goals in a debut season, and I honestly believed he was better the C Ron that year. His 2nd and 3rd seasons where really good as well. Even when injured for large parts he still scored 18 goals in 24 games?
Reina- Saved our @ss more times then I care to count. Last years POTY for both our club and the league in my opinion. Easily the best keeper last year. Harder for him this year but he's still one of the best, if not the best.
Hyppia- Great defender, added solidity, deserved to be captain, and acted properly when it was given to Stevie. I hope he comes back to the club when he's done with Leverkusen.
Suarez- Have to agree with you MH. Other than Torres, Suarez is really the only player to hit the ground running like this. The difference is he switched form the Dutch to the prem, not the Spanish. It would be a very hard transition for 99% of the players in the world, and he's done it with flying colors. Expect to see a lot from him in the future and won't be surprised to see him win Prem player of the year next season.
