All players who at the time where unknown quantities ,so where considered too greater risk for the Liverpool board ,I surely don't need to remind people of their standing in world football now ................... people talk about having an eye for a player and how easy it can be when your allowed the finance to procure the very best ..........Well Benitez hasn't been afforded the trust or the backing to do neither , and when on that very rare occasion he is allowed to do so the quality we have bought speaks volumes ....
Torres
Mascherano
Alonso
Agger
All top drawer players bought by Benitez when his hands weren't forced into the bargain bin
Add Simao and Vidic to that list too. Spot on though, I find it funny that people are critical of Rafa's transfer record when most of the time he has had to shop at bottom of the pile. It's gotten so bad that over the last few years there are at least 2 to 3 freebie players in the squad too. Voronin, Degan, kyrgiakos... and now this Jovanovich.
And people wonder why we have slipped behind the rest.
David Luiz is another Bav, countless players earmarked by Benitez only for a club who are not afraid to trust their manager snatch them away ...... so sad reallyhe must be one frustrated man
You think coming with a make shift list which you have no proof was ever asked/requested/demanded by Rafa would cover for his multi years FckUps picking players and throwing our money away?
Did the board also make him sell Bellamy and Crouch and Riera? make him buy in injured Italian and by that gambling on our whole season? buying Keane? Keeping Babel/Lucas? give us a break don't talk on what someone wrote or mentioned in the papers ,talk about the facts the hard stinking facts that 5 years after we have no prospect no backbone of players we can ride on to the future ,it is all Rafa lousy/poor player selection ,player managment skills.
Rafa can't be trusted to make good use of the limited amount of money we have to spend to take us out of the mess...a mess he created.
