IF they are not good enough he ships them out, and he is the last LFC manager since fu.ck knows when to make a profit on players he buys.
prevention is better than cure, the fact he has to ship so many players out shows a lack of judgment when signing them, if he was better in the transfer market we wouldnt have dead wood to ship out
What dead wood would this be? It took Benitez at least two years to ship enough of Houllier's dregs out the door before he could even consider building a decent first team. His own first team. Given the fact that he's never been handed a decent enough lump sum over a summer to get in quick enough and get his first targets, it only adds to the problem if you are forced to shop is Tescos when other's around you are in shopping at Harrods.
Bar last summer, which was really the first time proper money was there, and look who we got. Rafa, given with what he's had to spend at any given transfer window, has bought well with what he's had. Not only this, but it's been mentioned already that whoever he buys then deems not good enough, he ships them out quickly and usually makes a profit on them. The club is a business, and by any standards, this is good business sense.
Every manager in the league with forced budgets, including Fergie and Wenger at one point, has made these so called poor judgments and done the same thing. If every signing we made were the perfect one, which is impossible, then we'd be unstoppable. Of course, in the real world, this is not how things work. You call it poor judgment; I call it trail and error.
gonzalez, bellamy, nunez, pellagrino, morientes, i could go on but you see my point

1) WHEN we win the league this year can we assume that it's a fluke because we couldn't possibly win it outright by spending less could we?
2) WHEN we win the league this year what's the excuse for the previous four where we haven't came close?
3) If we haven't had money why has our record transfers on a keeper, defender, midfielder and forward all come under Benitez?
4) How come Spurs and Newcastle spend more but we finish above them and Arsenal spend less yet we finished behind them last year?
5) Why didn't we need to spend 10 million plus on Agger/Skrtel who I think are both top class centre halves?
Anybody who can answer them (sensibly) deserves a gold star.
