KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa's legacy lives on

Suso

Suso signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2010 from his hometown club Cadiz, rejecting Barcelona and Real Madrid in the process, saying "I was going to sign for Real Madrid but one day before it the phone rang and Rafael Benitez spoke to me. He convinced me that Liverpool was the club for me and after that I had to change my plans. I was going to come to Liverpool."

Sterling

Sterling was signed in February 2010 by Rafa Benítez for an initial fee of £600,000, but this could rise to £5 million depending on how many appearances he makes for the first-team.

Shelvey

Liverpool have signed the 18-year-old from Charlton in a £1.7 million deal. Shelvey holds the record as Charlton's youngest ever player, having made his debut in April 2008 at the age of 16 years and 59 days. The England youth international has scored eight goals in 48 games for the League One club.
Having already signed QPR's Raheem Sterling, aged 15, earlier this season, Benitez said he has a number of other young, British players lined up to sign in the near future.

Rafa is a legend but is in the past and we must focus on BR, but thank you rafa for what you left us in these three players

we should make him a scout. knows talent when he sees one

Everything Rafa has done is in the past but what he has done for this club has been magnificent and I will always hold him in high esteem for that.

The owners screwed him. He'd have a list of players he wanted and would tell them, the ones higher up on the list are the ones he wants most. So what do they do? They buy players (all of which were wanted) lower down on the list..

Funny how everyone is calling Fergie this that and the other on these boards,yet when Rafa let the world know about the FA`s favouritism towards Fergie everyone was saying he should shut up.Fickle lol

You forgot Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas who are now the spine of the team.

rafa did 2 things for lfc that no one connected with lfc should ever forget. european cup number 5 and the academy. when he took over the best youngster we had was probably richie partridge now we have one of if not the best youngster in european football (sterling).

+1

Hear hear sir.

Although Heggy, I wonder if we are at this point come January if a phone call will be made for a certain En Raffa to step in and save us from relegation?

I think we are close to turning things around but funnier things happen in this game.

am liking the thread so far, just waiting for the rafa haters to wake up
