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

why are you counting players he got for the reserves that cost us peanuts? anyway most were sold for the same amount of money or even made a few bob

duran £66,000 ( thats isnt even worth mentioning)
hobbs £150,000 and sold for around £1m (profit)
elzar £200,000 and sold for £0 (lose)
barragan £240,000 and sold a year later £675,000 (profit)
Gonzalez £1.5 and sold for £3.5m (profit)
scott carson £1m and sold for £3.5m (profit)
leto £1.8 and sold for £3m (profit)
paletta £2m and sold for 1.2m (lose)

a few of the others are free transfers or fee undisclosed


that doesnt seem that bad to me ( i only looked at the small transfer fee deals)

Rafa started our decline... what a laughable statement.

Without getting carried away, watching tonights game, Br looks like he has some very good youngsters to work with and develop. Skillful, technical and a good attitude. I don't know much aout the youth team, but Pacheco looks decent and is putting a real shift in, Suso didn't look out of place Sunday, yesil/assaidi look like they'll feature in the league at some point this season too.

I'm optimistic about BR and the future, providing funds are made available.
Still, I feel like we should all buy Rafa something, a tea mug or something.

did he not leave us in 7th place , did he not leave a dire thread bare squad that dalglish felt he needed to spend over 100 million on it , did he not force out one of the best midfielders in europe (alonso) due to his dictator style ?

Christ.... Alonso left, can't we just let it go?

Rafa didn't decide to hold back funds did he? He wouldn't have minded over 100m to spend in a few months though.

I didn't bring him back up, but people need to let their vendetta go and realise things were a hell of a lot brighter. He loves the club and the area, even though he's Spanish! We'd all settle for 7th about now.

No way! relegation battles are the new champions league spots.Your wasting your breath he thinks he personally knows Alonso cos he signed up to his "fan club".

ha ha ha , yeh ok not in no ones fan club just like you dont like the truth , but chasing alonso is just leave it is it ? , to replace him with the biggest dud of all time aquilani who the club are still paying for , yes great work by benitez . as gerard houllier said how can a team with torres ,gerrard, masherano and reina finish 7th can only be down to the manager and gerard was spot on .

we just beat west brom with a youth /reserve team
focus on this my friend:)

I agree with both sides here. When Rafa left i was delighted to be honest, but i still love him. He DID force Alonso out and i remember at the time GARETH BARRY was been touted as his replacement. I dont ever want Rafa back. All we did when he was here was give out about the Zonal Marking and his inability to fix the obvious. The year we almost won the league was all down to him but it was also his fault we didnt win it that year. I remember United and Arsenal drew one weekend and we were playing on the Monday and a win would of put us 3 points ahead but the team selection was terrible. This exact situation must have happened 10 that season and we just did jack sh*t about it. Then away to Portsmouth one weekend he started 6 defenders and we won 3 - 2 so everyone forgot about the other weeks. Rafa is gone and hes never coming back i promise.

i am my friend fantastic , just started looking at hotels in watford already
