Possibly harsh on AK after just 3 games, but I can't help but think how much more effective A-Rod would be with the way the team is now set up to play.

Umm but one is a striker and one is a CM, in what way are you comparing them? We weren't playing A-Rod as a no9 last season

As players taking up a foreign spot.

Right, I get you now. But I still think it's pretty hard to compare, because the whole balance of our squad has changed. We also have Paracki now taking a foreign spot, and we lost Roly as well, not to mention the non-import players we signed. If anything though, on the basis of Saturday's game, we don't need another midfielder like A-Rod. Paracki and Ridenton were doing fine at dominating possession in the middle. We needed a more creative or flair player further up the pitch to break down the defense. Roly, in his mode where he gives a shark, would have been better. And we do have a creative/flair AM in our squad who is taking up an import spot, he's just been injured so far.
