How can we talk about Gonzalez been excellant when he hasn't played for us yet? (bar some poor pre-season friendlies) and Pennant is hardly the finished product. Kewell is not as good as he was and is injured half the time and Zenden is getting on. Basically, how many of the top clubs would be knocking our door down for these apparantly-better-then-anyone-elses-midfielders if they came up for sale. Yes, in Xabi, Stevie and Momo, we have 3 excellant midfielders for 2 positions, but I don't think we can claim to be the envy of the midfield world with the rest of our players. We have the makings of an excelant midfield should Speedy and Pennant confirm their promise, but we have to wait and see.
