Just think of how Macherano can't adapt to West Ham but turned out to be so brilliant for us. Bentley is good on the right side of midfield.

Bentley was a major disappointment but I think our more pressing need is on the left, esp if Babel goes.
I forgot to say in my previous post that our wingbacks have done really well to get forward, not necessarily with pace, but a positive attitude to go forward and some nice triangles.
I believe we should now stick to our system of play, i.e. Torres and Stevie in attack. It's dangerous if we try to replace Stevie with say, David Villa. Tevez would be a plus but he has to be ready to play on the left (or right). The trick is to improve the system without undermining it (case in point, you get Keane to replace Stevie and push our captain into midfield, that is a step back, not forward).
So whoever we buy, consolidation pls, no experiments.
