as for my "unknowns" list. how many of you actually had heard of any of these players or rated them highly before Rafa signed them.
I bet not one of you had heard of Alonso! and dont lie.
That's the point!
I'd never heard of Alonso, you'd never heard of Alonso...hell most on here besides Sabre had never heard of Alonso. He was, by your definition, a "second fiddle player"...not a big name, not a proven talent, not world class.
BUT...
Rafa saw the potential and made his move, just before Real Madrid or the Mancs got their greasy paws on the lad and, guess what, he's been immense for us.
If we followed your policy and only tried to buy established, world class players we'd wouldn't have Alonso, Reina, Garcia, Crouch, Fowler, Sissoko, Gonzales, Agger and Kromkamp in our squad now.
Moreover, we'd be: 1) outbid for these players most of the time, 2) well over-extended in our finances and 3) potentially in a worse position in the league then we are now, with perhaps one less European cup and one less FA Cup in the Anfield trophy case (because, as Nando has demonstrated, "proven" talent is no guarantee of success.)
I know your on a wind-up so I don't think telling you to pull your head out of your ar.se will make a difference but at least try applying some consistency and logic to your wind-ups rather than this imbecilic fuckwittery*!
