He announced he wanted to play a 4-3-3 formation like his did in Spain with Barcelona. He wanted Gala to play attacking football once more. He signed Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Leo Frano on a free transfer as his contract at the club expired. Then, he signed Kader Keita off Lyon. Keita is a versatile winger which, can play on the left or the right wing. He can also play up front aswell and is the attacking minded player Rijkaard wanted. Today he signed Elano from Manchester City. The Brazillian International cost him 8 million pounds. He is an attacking midfielder that usually play on the right of the midfield and is specialized in free kicks and penalties.
With talent in the form of Arda Turan and Harry Kewell it will be hard for Rijkaard to build a team. I can see him buying better defenders soon as his midfield seems complete. Maybe one more forward aswell.
Franco
Balta Zan Cetin Ucar
Turan Kewell Elano
Keita Baros Nonda
Maybe Ozcan will replace Nonda as he played well on loan for Gaziantepspor last season. Netting 17 goals in 31 games.
With this team they may progress in Europe too. What do you guys think?

I think they will be improved. I could see them pushing for a spot in the Champions League knock out stage. I would have rather seen Elano move to Italy though.
He should of moved to AC Milan. He would be guaranteed first team football and could show how he and Pato could link up for the National team
