Shanks went to Scotland to bring Yeats and St John 2 of better players throughout the 60s. And Bob went to Chester and to Celtic to buy our greatest forwards and cost him less than 1 million. Not like Rafa who goes and spends over 12 million for Garcia and Morientes, what a joke.
FFS!
First of all, why no mention of Alonso or Reina or Sissoko when discussing Rafa's transfer record compared to Shankley's or Paisley's? Let's be fair about this!
Second, were it not for Luis Garcia we would not have won a 5th European Cup in May '05 and we may not have won the FA Cup in May '06. Irritating he may be at times but he has been a huge part of our not insignificant success in the last two years!
And don't get me started about transfer fees in Paisley's day vs today...apples and feckin' oranges!
Ok Reina, Xabi and Momo. 3.
Souness, Barney Rubble (Alan Kennedy to you non Liverpool fans), Jocky Hansen (Alan), Lawro (Mark Lawrenson), Original Zico (Phil Neal), Ray Kennedy, Terry Mc and our clown between the sticks (Bruce G.)
I can count on one finger Bob's bad signing. Actually I'm struggling to find one.
Where as Rafa has made countless bad buys. Zenden, Kromkamp, Garcia (despite his goals) Morientes, Nunez, Pelligrino, Josemi, and Barragan. I have now ran out of fingers and am left with 2 thumbs.
Alright lad, time to put your Dad's classic Liverpool DVDs away and start paying attention to the current side. Who knows...if you watch them play you might actually appreciate what the likes of Garcia, Zenden or Kewell bring to the side?
Explain to me when is Zenden going to play this year.
Explain to me when was Kewell going to play last year had it not been for Zenden's injury.
Explain to me other than goals what does Garcia bring to the side.
And BTW Bob i don't need my dad's DVDs to know about my club's past. I was brought up to know without books unlike you who seems to need a book just to say Hello.
You must be thicker than the HArd-Back version of the Complete Works of Catherine Cookson.
It's called having a SQUAD, you penis.
If you genuinely believe you can compare the squads now and then, ou're a nob-jockey of the highest order.
I suppose you'd have the team getting p*ssed every night, too?
Time for bed, son.
