Sorry woof woof !

But it had to be said, i am actually starting to think hustler is cheeseybollocks. Think about it...

I'm better than Danny Murphy and Michael Ballack...
I HATE (not don't rate) Gerard Houllier...
I'm a bodybuilder...
I'm going to turn upto JohnBull's pub with 30 gypsies and some bodybuilding chums...
Matteo and Melchiot are better than Hyypia...
Berger is a class act who we sould never have sold...
Buying unknowns is a load of tosh...

He also claims to be 27, yet, posts like a sexually frustrated 15 year old.

I'm sure theres others but just can't think off the top of my head... what you reckon?

Stu ,we all know that, but why worry about nob heads when a few well pointed observations about footy show them up to be the fools that they are .

The Liverpool way is to get the right players. Not always the best known players. If they are well known, wonderfull, if not... who cares as long as they are class?

How many here wanted Hyypia when he was signed? Answer... ZERO. I'd never heard of him. What a player he turned out to be. I'd always liked Henchoz, i'd only heard of Babbel, never really noticed him, but he came with a reputation.

If i was in charge now, i'd get my system sorted. It would be based on getting the best out ot Owen, Cisse, Kewell, Gerrard, Riise and Hyypia. The rest i would be looking to replace unless they could convince me they were good enough to keep there places. One by one i'd look for certain types of players that could offer me what i lacked, then intigrate them into the team, perfecting a tactic and making it work.

If Benitez does that using his knowledge of th game, i'm sure he won't go far wrong.

im just making the point that buying players with good reputations has more of an affect than buying players with potential especially after a season of underachieving- last season we bought kewell, and now its cisse. the arrival have benitez has had a similar affect. am i wrong

You mean like Chelsea ? Veron , Mutu etc

by **stapo1000** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 6:05 pm

those players turned out to be flops but thats irrelevant. my point is that the advantage of buying a big name player over a player with potential is that it gives optimism to the rest of the team and the supporters. its different at chelsea as they buy a bus load of big names every summer so they dont have the immediate affect that they would were they to come to liverpool

I know what you are saying.

If we signed Rosicky the place would be buzziing and rightly so. Right player and a big name. But i we were to sign an unknown who was as good or better, in the long run i'd be much happier.

I've seen this news about Josemi, if i'm honest i'm not overly impressed. Infact i'm dissapointed, but i don't know ****** all about him. He could be as good as Cannavaro for all i know, as far as i'm concerned he deserves a chance if the manager says he's good enough. I just want the season to start.

For how long ?
If the big name signing don't produce, the expectation that produced the optimism soon turns to frustration that generates pessimism.
Mabye you're right, signing a BIG NAME player does have more of an affect but is doesn't ultimately mean it will be positive.
