You've got to remember mate, Rafa has only dealt in the top end of the market once, with torres. And thats been a total success. The majority of his signings have been in the mid-lower end of the market, 5-12million etc. And they are always going to be hit and miss. I think it is fair to say he has got more right than wrong. Alonso, garcia, Babel, reina, agger, crouch, momo (when you look at his first 2 seasons-and the huge profit we will make on him), Arbeloa (only 3mill). He spent buttons on Carson and will probably make about 9mill profit. Players like kromkamp came in on a free, and a profit was made a few months later. The players who havnt made it, nando, gonzalez etc, have been quickly shipped out. Then there are the one's with still a bit to prove, the likes of pennant, benayoun, kuyt to a certain extent. In general, when you look at the circumstances, i think rafa's done a bloody good job in the market.
