If I remember rightly, a lot of people on here were positively howling for some Premiership-based players to be signed (admittedly, more last summer than this). "They'll settle quicker, and they are proven in England", the chants went.

Well what did Rafa do? He went out and signed Crouch. He took ages to score, but wasn't playing badly.

This summer, he nipped out and bought Pennant and Bellamy. Two outstanding performers from last season.

Bellamy too has struggled to score, but his all-round play has been very good. Much better than Crouch's first few games.

Pennant has been excellent, in all honesty. He's another who hasn't scored, but that was never part of his game.

Once he's more in-sync with the strikers, and knows where they want to crosses, he'll be a heck of a player for us.
You can see just how much Rafa rates him if you re-watch the Sh*tski game. EVERYTHING was being passed out to him. Everything.

Aurelio oozes class, and although he's been a little hesitant due to the nature of the Premiership and it's sh*thouse bully-boys, he's learning.

I think people need to sit back and give the players time.

Surely they deserve that?

I agree totally with what you say lando. These players need time to aquaint themselves with how the team works and how other players think.
At the moment Bellamy is trying to hard, once he gets one goal his nerves will settle and then he can become a prolific goalscorer for us IMO.
Pennent will also be a good asset for the club, we have been crying out for a winger at liverpool for a long time and i think he can do the job well.
Aurelio will also settle down once he adjusts to the pace of the EPL, and sooner rather than later one of his freekicks go screaming into the back of the net. Bring it on.
