Why are we obsessed with buying injuried players? Its depressig that these are the standard of players we ar looking at when oly afew sesons ago e were bringing in the likes of Torres Xabi Mascherano etc.
Yeah but Torres,Xabi,Mascherano weren't world beaters back then.For God Sake,Macherrano was in the West Ham reserves.Sure Man U were after Torres but he was a huge gamble.And Xabi wasn't world famous either.It was all because Rafa brought this players to Anfield that there famous.Now all of them are playing for either,Barcelona,Real Madrid or Chelsea!
Torres was considered by most people to be the forgotten world class playerbecause he was in such a bad team no one ever seen him on tv, EVER. But he was still rated as one of the best. Mascherano was in the west ham reserves because the manager at the time was a complete moron but again people in the game and in the know knew him as a player who could become a world class player in his position. Same with Xabi. You wont here anyone talk about Marveaux in this light.
