Well Deadline day has passed and the last 48 hours have been as bizarre as any five seen on the forum. I was as disappointed as anyone we didnt get simao or a center half but we need to look at how good are squad is and were we will be standing in January. Overall it has to be said over the summer and up till yesterday (till the Simao deal fell through) we have done extremely well in the transfer market. A lot of average players e.g diouf diao biscan kirkland smicer and others have been shifted from the wage bill and a series of good buys and youngster with lots of potential have replaced them. Over the last couple of days a number of supports have been left pondering whether Rafa should remain at the club, i call these supporters wind up merchants or downright gobsh!tes, thats someway of treating a man who give you the European cup after 21 years. Rafa did make an error in the transfer market not securing a right winger but hes not perfect and will make mistakes, the best do, and thats how they learn and get even better, you arnt just born a genius, you become one by learning and learning from your errors. But what would have everyone said if he would have panicked and brought another Pellegrino in, im sure we would much rather have Whitbread to cover than a retiring ex international, because Rafa knew he had adequate cover if the right player never come along. He will still want a right winger and Center half in January and till then we will have to be patient and hope over the next 6 months he draws up a list of quality aquasitions and seals 2 of them when the time is right. Thats probably what was going through his head yesterday, does he just get someone in for he hell of it and use a bit of the budget up on someone we dont really want or does he leave it and get the sort of player who would suit us in January. Whatever decision Rafa makes we must accept because hes the boss and he knows better than any of us. Also progression in the champions league would probably improve the quality of player availble to us as well.
So although things didnt go right over the last few days it doesnt even come close to what has gone right over the last 12 months, Alonso signing, Mellor v Arsenal, Gerrard v Olympiakos, the kids in the carling cup, Gerrard staying (twice!) Garcia v Juventus and Chelsea, Gudjohnsens miss, Manure winning fu*k all, Bluesh!te out of the Champions league, Beating a tough leverkusen side home and away 3 1, singing youll never walk alone after the chelsea game, der der der der der der der der!!!, Half time having the belief to sing youll never walk alone and giving the players belief, gerrards header, smicers 25 yarder Alonsos penalty miss!!, Dudeks save (in the match, Dudeks saves (in the shootout) Gerrard lifting the european cup, Carra going on a massive bender!, Rafa in the boozer to watch the game, Cisses super quick come back, getting in the champions league after Uefa bent the rules and changed them, stealing evertons thunder big time by winning it 5 times!, finnan and risse steppin up a level, Sissoko and Reina coming, and Carra becoming World Class.
Now way up those against Simao, owen and a center half not coming....doesnt really compare does it and we have 4 points from 2 games and we have qualified for the group stages.
So no one tell me they want Rafa to go or that he is Sh!t because you dont know how fu*kin lucky you are to support LFC, we have had a better 12 months than any other club on the planet as supporters so fu*kin behave with the whinging and moaning when we lose one nil and demand the worlds gone wrong and you need to kill yourself, because you have to take the good with the bad, and with Rafa so far, its been fu*kin magic!
If you want to moan and whinge and be bitter though i do advise you move to a blue forum, imagine how fuc*ed off they are!
Apologises in advance for any spelling errors, i really am b0llocks at it.
