Batmans next dig at Rafael Benitez

Yesterday Robbie Keane joined a long list of attacking players that Rafa has signed and then shortly let go.

For example:

Garcia
Nunez
Morientes
Gonzalez
Fowler
Bellamy
Crouch
Leto
Voronin
Pennant
Keane

Was this because the player was shit before he signed for Liverpool or did Rafa make a good player become shit?



You Decide

Who will be next?

Spoiler:

Sinama-Pongolle was not a Rafa signing but he also let him go. He is still only 24, i think he could have made a good back up striker for Liverpool.

Kevin's next dig at Batman:

Fuck off or contribute to the board.

I have asked a question, were the players listed above bad signings or did Rafa not get the best out of them?

Whats wrong with that Kevin?

Garcia - Success. Stayed for years. Left as he was homesick

Nunez - Manucho

Morientes - Has failed to reignite his career ever since. Possibly just caught shevchenko syndrome

Gonzalez - Cheap and failed to live up to the hype

Fowler - A mascot

Bellamy - A purposeful stop gap signing due to lack of funds

Crouch - Big success, left because we have the best striker in the world

Leto - How many kids has fergie sold ?

Voronin - Free

Pennant - Good player, wrong attitude

Keane - Rafa's worst signing




Kuyt will hopefully be next and yes Pongolle was one of his biggest mistakes since joining us

Nobody on this list matches the unique shitness of Alan Smith


Smith, Dong, Forlan, Nani, Anderson, Manucho etc etc etc

You mean he wasn't good enough to start with and got found out in the best league in the world?

I think that's very harsh on Morientes as was really good with Madrid in La Liga(the then best league in the world).

The "Is selling Keane a mistake?" thread has got 126 replies. That is contributing to the board.

who were Liverpools wide players when you had Morientes in the team?

Pennant was one wasn't he?
Mark Gonzalez?

Champions League KO phases

Its amazing that Henry used to score at a ridiculous rate in the Prem but couldn't even get a goal every 2 starts in the KO phases of the CL

What has Henry got to do with this Pierre?

All I did was defend Morientes who I felt COTR was very harsh on by comparing him to Shevchenko who never harked it in any league that's the very best in the world.

Playing as the main striker for a club as successful as Milan in the CL you are bound to have a good record in the KO stages - see Inzaghi.

Benitez knows how to set up a defence & midfield, I'll give him that much

Liverpool would've won the Prem by now if Ancelotti was in charge instead of him though

Harry Kewell, Garcia or Nunez.

So they get wankers like Rick Parry to make the transfers, while the manager just bums the owner?

Wasnt the headline a bit childish/wumish Batman ?

We haven't sold Leto have we?

Only on loan at Olympiakos as far as i'm aware.

Forlan was never one. Wasn't good enough, same way Keane wasn't good enough for Liverpool.

i couldn't think of anything better.

Batty batters Beni with another big bash.

Batman you really are a waste of space. Otto's 'How rubbish are England?' threads get a lot of replies, doesn't make them valuable contributions.

Once again after reading the answer to the question in one of my earlier posts you decide to make a whole thread about it. You've asked this question before and had it answered more than adequately.

The attacking players Rafa has signed haven't exactly flopped, the likes of £3m signing Mark Gonalez might not have worked out as well as Ronaldo or Robben, but they cost much less. He has signed a few players that have worked out and a few that haven't. When you sign a player for £5-10m you get a different quality to signing players for £18m+

When Ferguson works with a similar budget you get the likes of Kleberson, Djemba-Djemba and co.

The only manager who has a proven track record in these types of signings is Arsene Wenger, I don't think many managers have done much better than Rafa while working under similar constraints and expectations. I would certainly like to see a Ferguson side without all the players that cost £15m or more and see how they get on. Keane aside, all the players you listed cost less than £9m and pretty much in each case we got exactly what we paid for, in each case United have a player who cost twice as much if not more.

But you already know all of this, you're just being deliberately antagonistic.

To be fair Batman is free to contribute. I wasnt intending on banning him. And this is minimal in comparison with the amount of abuse that you fork out on those two.
Unless of course, you were implying that my words carry far more weight than yours, in which case, fair enough.

If the staff here actually maintained some sort of consistency in their admonishing and banning then I wouldn't have to constantly abuse the retarded posters.

But while people are allowed to keep posting here solely because they share club allegiance with the admins then you can expect me to point out the double standards and pathetically ego-driven nature of this board's moderation.


Your words carry virtually no weight compared to mine, have no fear about that...

There's a Man Utd fan on the admin staff too.
