We’re looking at getting Gerrard & Torres some help

Depends what you want from your lone striker. In Rafa's time at Valencia most of the goals tended to come from the three behind the front man, who pitched in with some but was at least as often the guy who played the midfield runners in. Gudjohnsson would play that role very well and it would give us a different option.

Meanwhile during Rafa's time at Liverpol, we've seen that we look infinitely more dangerous when we have pace up top.

Gudjohnsen is a very good player and I've suggested him the past as an option also but I wouldn't like to see him play that role for us at all. He's deputised up front for Barca on more than one occasion and whilst he did a good job, even in that team his lack of mobility stuck out like a sore thumb.

I think he works far better as a withdrawn striker / attacking midfielder.
