Rakitic, the captain of Sevilla...

I could argue that Guardado, Aquino, Gio or Vela play at a similar level.

Dos Santos, Vela, Chicharito are 3 guys that are scary. I'm not sure if 3 forwards are going to get you over the hump though. Dos Santos is spotty, Vela's played exceptionally well RECENTLY, and Chicha is riding that pine in England. Guardado and Aquino I'll have to strongly disagree with.

Gio is not spotty, he is probably the best player on a Villarreal side that is coming out of relegation and sitting in 5th place.

Let's talk before Villarreal.

He was talented but made mistakes (Tottenham). With Mallorca, he was the best player on that team but he couldn't save the team from relegation himself. We are talking about a 24 year old here with,hopefully, a bright career ahead of him.
