He recognised it wasn't developing the younger players, so he has addressed it and brought in barca youth coaches
I'd expect within the next 3 years you'll see the fruition of these changes.
Rafa does have youth team pedigree with Real Madrid, and whilst he is now a spent force, he did get the nod to bring Raul in and develop the player through super successfully for their Youth team to senior squad, as just one example of how he has managed to develop talented young players.
Oh ok but it really was a question based not just on your post but the thoughts of several Liverpool supporters. What do you think? Don't agree a two striker solution isn't the right way to go?Conspiracy Theorist wrote:Super Real Ronaldo wrote:I simply don't understand why Liverpool fans want Villa or any striker. Where will Gerrard play? Benitez has finally found the perfect position for him and then he is supposed to switch him on the wing? Because putting him in central midfield hasn't proven to work so far. The 4-2-3-1 seems to be the one to go with but then again I have only heard fans really want another striker and not Benitez.Conspiracy Theorist wrote:Kevin Perineum wrote:Mascherano isn't irreplaceable, but there isn't a player I think would be an improvement, unlike most other positions of the team when we have sold a player it has been to replace him with someone better.
The club said he' not for sale, which seems pretty final to me.
My only real question is: how much of the £330m that Gillette just reaped will be made available to Rafa for transfers?
My guess is, all of it.
Well the Yanks are just about to announce that their loan has been refinanced so he can use all of this on some lovely new players for the team.
A double Villa and Silva swoop will do nicely
Sorry if you took that as a serious comment Super
You should take a look at the posters infesting the thread before making a judgement on a post

Why would they want to reveal the price
Ronaldo for 80 was widely reported by both clubs...why are Liverpool hiding

@ FG why not? We got 80 mill for Ronaldo. Didn't get Tevez for the 25 mill and going to sell a few others for 20 ish. That's a lot of money for transfers waiting around.
And Tosic Nani Park are all wingers.

Well firstly Ronaldo has not been sold, so you actually don't have anything from him 'yet' - secondly the transfer fee will be stagnated through installments which i've read to be in the region of £15m per year, so if you do indeed have £25m lying around for Tevez, thats a sum total of £40m you have to spend, to buy a winger (perhaps two) a striker and a central midfielder.
Good Luck
You don't think when Man Utd buy players they pay in installments? There is 100 mill+ to spend whether Fergie decides to use ti all is his choice.
