Fernando Morientes was the top scorer in the CL for Monaco and seemed a good bet. Sometimes things just don't work out! And just yesterday Rafa has come out and said he has made mistakes
Morientes was also 29, and at the end of his career. Villa was 22 and full of potential. I'm not saying Fernando wasn't a great player, just that he was the wrong choice of the two.
he has been given 50million for example. with 50 million he needs lets say 5 players. instead of being able to buy players with a price tag of johnson and fernando, he has to streach that 50 million. so the quality of player he buys is not what we need.
thats why he says "wheeling and dealing"
this is the way i see it
The sea, will be the sea, whatever the drops philosophy!
yea that might be true joe, but then he has also been given the go ahead to sign £20m players such as aquilani and keane. i wouldn't trust him with £100m this coming summer...
Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
joey..... we cant buy these players and if at all we happen to afford sometime then they all are well spotted players.and we dont need to players of such pedigree to be evaluated by Rafa's eye....any other manager can push for them as well...what say??
and we are never sure if he spends 20m quids on a player of his choice and still cant courage to put him in action the whole damn season....sure v cant blame parry now...may be Sammy Lee this time...
