KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How would Rafa have spent FSG's money?

simply because the club agreed to,that's the council making sure if all goes pear shaped(as it did) they wont pay the costs if/when the club fails to put the spade in the ground,seems the council where on the ball there eh!

Bloody Rafa

Utter and total nonsense. Unbelievable shitte. The lack of respect you show to that great man is astounding. Next time you sing 'we won it five times' STOP AND THINK WHY ! dickfor brains.

Its a shame Emp isn't about. I'd love to see his take on this!

As for Rafa and who he'd buy? I wouldn't have a clue. We were linked to so many players when he was here as we are now but I don't think we would be going after some that we are now. I can't imagine that Adam would have been bought. He certainly would have got his top targets instead of having to get the likes of Voronin.

If Rafa were to still be in charge of Liverpool squad right now , I do not believe there will be more than 1 British signing. Instead it will be more Spanish player or players in the Spanish League. But my blame will go mostly to Hicks and Gillet rather. I admit that Rafa did make cr@p signings but it is mostly due to the fact that he go to sell before buying. He did buy flops like Robbie Keane and Alberto Aquilani but he also did buy buy good players like Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso. The only thing that I don't like most about Rafa Benitez is his unwillingness to let youth players get into first team set-up. He would rather go with free transfer flops like Degen.


Damien Comolli is employed by John Henry and FSG. So there are nothing that Rafa Benitez can do about that buut I believe they can work well together as they prefer talents from abroad rather British. In all respect to Rafa , how good he is , he will never command the same respect that King Kenny possess with the faithful Liverpool supporters.



Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

You clearly don't know your football very well as Benitez didn't actually spend a penny, cent or Euro on any of those players

Traore (hapless) & Biscan (after a couple of wasted seasons became a bit of a cult hero) were both signed by houllier and Nunez came in as a makewight in the deal that took Michael Owen to Real Madrid

There's no shortage of Benitez duds you can mention amd Gonzalez, Dossena, Keane and Riera might be better examples of money wasted by Rafa

It winds me up that so many people on here arrogantly think that they are the font of all football knowledge and then make basic mistakes like blaming Beniez for three signings he had absolutely nothing to do with

And we had 3 good seasons under Rafa -

the first when we won the holy grail of club football - the European Cup - the next sdason where despite a dissapinting start we finished with what was then our highest pt tally in a Premiership season and won the FA Cup and the 2008-09 season when we made history by being the first team to ever not win the title after losing just two games

And don't forget the 2006-07 season - when we got to another CL final, and were unlucky not to win it

That's hardly a bad record - all things considering

So true.

This thread is certainly fun to read...

Selective memories will discount the facts.

Nothing like a rafa thread for a good old punch up snake.
