I agreed with most of your post but got stuck on this line mate.
to be fair Saint Rafa was a fecking revelation when he first arrived
only in the CL
he did not understand english football or the history of the FA CUP.
AND TO SOME POINT I STILL THINK THASTS TRUE NOW.
That's a bit harsh lakes. Didn't we finish with a record points total in the league last year? And didn't we win the FA Cup a few years ago?
yes mate but what did he go on to do after that....sell the better players and buy player that dont fit into english football.
Well to be fair he had he eye on better players but how many times over the last few years has be been able to get his no 1 targets?![]()
If he doesn't get his No. 1 choice, he settles for, errrr, the likes of Voronin ?
Sure as well as...
Pennant for Simao
Skrtel for Vidic
Johnson for Alves.. it's ironic we spent 17mil on Johnno when we only needed 12 for Alves and the owners wouldn't even stump up that at the time
I know Rafa has made some bad buys but he always has to sell to raise money.
59 players Bav............. 59........and we end up with the team we have now, thats got to tell you something mate, come on
And if he was allowed to spend 15-20 mil on a position he wouldn't have to buy cheap which is likely to be hit and miss.
