I think this is the first player we've ever signed who has a bionic left knee though Joe in fairness.

I wonder if he has a bionic backside as well? If so, Kuyt's going to be bricking it.

But how many not from Iceland have worked at Iceland........................?

Is he going to walk into the first team? Probably not. Is he any more likely to break into the first team than any other promising kids Rafa has signed? Probably not. So Rafa is doing what Houllier did before him, loading up the club with players that won't impact on the battlefield and when the war is over will all be casualties of the next incoming general ie sold if/when Rafa comes just like Rafa cleared out his predecessor.

Like Houllier, Rafa is planning for a long term stay just at a time when long term has no certainty.

Rafa would be irresponsible if he did not plan for the long term
