If Rafa had hung onto Cisse (of course he's still technically a Liverpool player, but obviously the boss wants him out) and given Pongolle his chance, the attack would have been fine for this year with Crouch and Robbie too (who's hardly had a smell in). IMO it would have been better to just pay the money for Alves and otherwise have kept the same team. I think we would have done a lot better. At the end of last season I assumed that Rafa wouldn't let his ego cloud his judgement, but I now think that's happened to some extent. It looks like Cisse and Pongo are out simply for being French! Furthermore, if Aurelio is typical of the players that Rafa won La Liga with, then the difference in class between the Spanish and English Leagues is emphasised.

Were you born to write such absolute tosh?

You actually believe that a Robbie Fowler in his 30's and Peter Crouch alongside with Pongolle and Djibril ''I can't beat a man one on one" Cisse would had been better than what we already have?



Get a fecking grip on reality.

Cisse and Pongolle weren't loaned out for being French, they were just . Pongolle was supposed to be Le Gem, and he's been here for what four or five years? He was loaned out to Blackburn last season and failed to impress.

Now he's in Spain and he's scored a couple of times but isn't setting the world alight by any means.

Kuyt has more talent in his big toe than Cisse does in his entire body.

Stop talking out of your ar$e

With Alves on the wing we'd probably have made a step forward. This year I cannot see how we have advanced at all: we have gone backwards.

Apart from Crouch, none of them are good enough to help us push for a serious challenge. I love Fowler to bits but he wouldn't had scored 15 goals. That's just wishful and blind thinking on your part.

With Alves on the wing we'd probably have made a step forward.

Alves isn't a winger, he's a right-fullback you tit. Unless you have a crystal ball you don't know whether or not we would had made a step forward. Signing Alves wouldn't had changed the fact that all of our players have been poor for their standards.

Again, talking out of your .
