Valencia can f**k right off if they think they're taking our manager. He's our man and our man he will stay for the foreseeable future and hopefully a long, long time.

He's brought success, he's brought quality and he's brought pride back to our club.

Thank you Rafa!

He has scored 21 goals in 28 matches, he has started for Mexico 4 times and has scored 4 goals... the youtube link was just and introdiction, the rest was up to you weather you'll research some more or not.

Oh, I'm sorry, where did he score those goals again? The Mexican league? Oh ok... let me remind you that our very own Dirky was a goal machine at Feyenoord in the Dutch league. I'll reserve my judgement until the kid can make it into the Manc's first team and consistently performs week in and week out, thank you....

Tevez also played in a simular league, well look at him now.You know these players have to come from somewhere.I can bet that this kid would do fine, but yeah we should wait and see what he could do.The thing is that he promises much... lot more than N'Gog in any case.

Do you think he was for free?

We have never been able to buy you prospects like Tosic, this mexican guy, Wilshire etc etc cause we can't afford to pay top money to have players on growth.

Well, I'm Mexican and have watched him play quite a bit.  If anyone can have somewhat of an impact in Europe in the Mexican national squad it's him.  I rate him pretty high for someone who has just recently been allowed to play first team football he's made quite an impact.  He has a good head on his shoulders as well so as much as I hate the fact that he signed with the Mancs I wish him luck.

Back to Rafa.

What are they smoking over at Rawk?
Rafa seems untouchable and all his decisions must not be scrutinized or you are not a real supporter.. :no

Supporter does not mean sheep last time I look in a dictionary...

Even Lucas, Kuyt and Insua are all great it seems, since they wear the shirt and are being picked. FFS  :angry:

Thanks for the support , NO!!

A one rare moment that is :D, he rarely shows happiness when we are winning :D.He should be more like Mourinho, or that kid... what was his name...... oh Ferguson, right :D.

Dont mind Morinho, that's a bloody good start in learning how to celebrate a goal!

What are you two even talking about? The thumbs up was to the ref for overruling that spastic of a lineman who obviously hasn't a clue about the rules of the game. It was almost a sarcastic jibe.

What Saint said.

Former Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa has branded Rafa Benitez's management style as "a bit robotic" and maintains that the Spaniard is not keen to take risks.

Arbeloa, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid last year, said that Benitez's style as a manager is one of containment and believes that he is unwilling to take risks when the side need it.

"Rafa doesn't want you to take any risks ever. He's happy to score first and sit back.'' he said  "What Rafa wants, the team does. Every player knows what he wants. The one-two-three you work on in the week is the one-two-three you produce in matches. At times that can be a bit robotic."

Skysports:

Rafa Benitez has rounded on those who continue to question his handling of star striker Fernando Torres.

The Liverpool boss has come in for widespread criticism following his decision to substitute the Spaniard during last week's crucial Premier League fixture with Birmingham.

The Reds entered that contest desperate to secure three points in order to keep their top-four dreams alive.

With the scores locked at 1-1, Benitez surprisingly hauled off his top scorer, sending on David Ngog, but his tactical reshuffle failed to produce a winner.

He is adamant that he made the right call, though, as he was keen to protect Torres, who has already suffered with knee problems and fatigue this season.

"I have been listening to many things," Benitez said.

"People don't have a clue when they talk about the substitution or that he cannot be tired.

Fresh
"Some people say he cannot be tired because he didn't play too many games. That doesn't matter.

"We played 60 minutes with 10 men against a very good Benfica team and we had to work very hard.

"We had (Javier) Mascherano, (Daniel) Agger and Torres really tired and you have to manage them.

"We wanted to start with Torres because he can make the difference but as soon as we could see he was not making the difference, we needed fresh legs.

"David Ngog made the difference - we then had six chances in 30 minutes.

"We can talk about Torres being there or not but Ngog created chances. With Torres we didn't have those chances.

"The manager, staff and physios working with players have a better idea because they know how he feels and what he has said."

*******************

Says it all really :;):
