Especially with whats going on right now, people need to be a bit more posative. We have a world class striker in Torres and we almost won the league. Enough said. Have some faith people. Rafa is having to compete with the rest with half the budget.
But it didnt take a genius to spot that torres was world class mate, the thanks for signing him should go to the owners for coughing up the cash.
I don't remember the clamour from Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, AC Milan, Barca, Real, Juve, Inter, et al trying to hijack the transfer, though...
Come to think of it, there wasn't a great deal of interest in the lad on here until the armband incident.
I do love your attempts to belittle the gaffer at every turn.
It is HIGHLY amusing...
the gaffer who has won feck all the past three seasons, doesnt take to belittle him really does it

Anyway Liverpool can´t compete with Man City to sign Barry for 12 million, so it say it all.

I'm really disappointed for not getting Barry if this was in fact Rafa's plan but the only reason Barry is worth 12million is simply because he is English. To me, i think the fair price would be 8million. 12 million is a bit over priced and if Man City wanted him, so be it. If Rafa is rated being poor if he resist to overpay, then you can say he is poor. It is a fact that we don't have much money to spend to begin with. So, every dollar counts. Just look at last year when Rafa thought he had Malouda signed. We were lucky not to have him as I thought Riera was more effective. I know it is frustrated to lose out on our target but sometimes, there is a silver lining somewhere. We need to trust rafa and I'm sure he will be able to pull some rabbit out of the hat.
One thing I like about Rafa is his willingness to sell or get rid of players that are not performing. He is in fact quite decisive. Just look at robbie keane as the best example. It takes courage to sell him back to Spurs. If it happened in the Houllier times, no way Keane will be sold back to the Spurs.
Nowadays, transfer is getting tougher. For Chelsea and Man U, they will highjack any possible deal even though they don't need the players as they just want to make us weaker as they have no problem letting those player sit on the bench just as long as they don't play for us. The fact that nothing coming out of the Rafa's end suggest that he is working hard and trying to be creative just like the Mascherano deal. Let's wait and judge later. We all know we will at most bring in 2 to 3 players. So, there are still plenty of players and time. Keep our fingers crossed and the ones who meant to be here will be here.

I think the problem he has had, have been when buying in other markets. Masch has been a great buy, but most of the others while decent were perhaps not the best options in hindsight. We could argue all day about who we could have signed, should have signed.
Again its not all down to Rafa (although the buck stops with him) there are a lot of scouts who need to pull up their socks as well. Dossena, Degan, Babel plus so many of the reserves (especially players we had never heard of and probably never will again once they leave.)
