David Villa? what should convince you is the bloke has a awesome goal record at both club and country level. Raul is getting into some form, i would have had him the squad. Not only the number of goals this season but the sheer quality of goals IMO. Jlay. David Villa? what should convince you is the bloke has a awesome goal record at both club and country level.

I'd keep him on as a super-sub if nothing else, and there's something to be said for experience. Torres and Garcia ae legit, but I'm not convinced about Villa yet. Even with those three, I'd still keep Raul as a fourth option. Unfortunate – while Raul is definitely getting on in his career, the guy still has it.

Vicente is an exceptional talent unfortunately he was injured just recently. Not a fan of Valdes at all, i think he is at best a good goalkeeper. Sure he can be unbeatable at times but i get a feeling of unsteadiness. My concern is the soft centre of defence of Spain....
