Arzu on Betis' Riquelme pursuit: Whose going to do his running?

Real Betis midfielder Arzu can't see the club landing Villarreal star Juan Roman Riquelme.

Betis coach Hector Cuper has admitted he'd like to sign Riquelme in January, but Arzu doesn't believe the Argentina international would fit into their playing system.

"Riquelme is a great player, though more an inside-forward than a midfielder," said Arzu. "If we signed him, we'd also have to buy (AC Milan midfielder Rino) Gattuso to run alongside him!"
