ribery is no replacement for xabi though,different positions and he won't be coming anyhow.
I thought both noble and cole were outstanding last season and it was with the ball at their feet,every other manager used cole as a heskey but zola got the best out of him
I'd take Ribery for Alonso for sure...would provide a greater threat in attack and most probably score more too!
Everyone says we're too defensive and Ribery would change that!
