'Liverpool is my home and I will come back'

[Lycan]

Jones, Nicol, Barnes, McManaman, Molby, Redknapp, Whelan, Fowler and Rush.

 

Which of those wouldn't get in the squad Rafa left behind?

 

 

 

In their pomp I would say most of em, but at the time souness took over Nicol, Whelan, Rush and Barnes had all had their day. So none of them. Redknapp wouldn't full stop.

 

Out of those lot you mentioned I think Mcmanaman, Fowler, Jones and possibly Molby would get a game. Thats four fuckin players out of the entire Graeme Souness squad.

 

 

BTW none of those players you mentioned where signed by Graeme Souness.

[Unrighteous]

Better put that tramp's cock back in there eh?

 

What? What the hell are you doing to animals, you sick bastard?

I never said they were. My point is that no Liverpool manager has inherited such a poor squad since Shankly. That is the legacy the "genius" has left behind.

[Guest the boy]

If only he'd have told them to 'just go out and play football', all this may have been averted.

You really are so full of bitter and twisted shit.

Poor? No.

Underperforming? Yes.

 

And poorest squad since Shankly? Really?

No it isn't.

[Guest the boy]

Why bother to argue with 'Hermes'? He's as much a relic as the other one is.

But that just it he never did though did he.

 

A team with Reina, Mascherano, Torres, Agger, Skrtel and Kuyt in is a stronger squad then one that had Diouf, Heskey, Baros and Murphy. Or a squad that had Saunders, Pienchnik, Kozma, Walters or Babb, Dicks and Ruddock in it either.

The same people arguing the same over and over in thread after thread. Very very tiresome.

[georgeharrisong]

As I said earlier in the thread I know there wass a stroke with the keane money which was probably earmarked for Jovetic, it still does'nt justify the awful signings in both those summers, how he ever though Dossena was gona work in the prem, same for Aqualani. Robbie Keane £20m while selling Bellamy a year earlier for £8m?

I know the owners are the main problem, but Rafa benitez has to take the blame for the big money failures in the transfer market, as he deservedly takes the credit for the succes for some of his earlier signings Alonso, Riena etc

 

first - it wasn't just the keane money, was it? it's not as if that was the one little 'stroke' the owners pulled...unless i'm being unkind and they're only duplicitous parsimonious twats on very very rare occasions.

 

second - bellamy went to part fund torres, another signing that rafa can take credit for - and not one of his earlier signings either - i know that spoils your point about him doing well at first than messing it all up. sorry. I'd take torres over bellamy any day - your opinion is your own and i fully respect it. it comes back to the same question though - why does a team like liverpool have to sell in order to buy? and remember - we only had bellamy in the first place because finances meant that we had to gamble on mid price players. and while i quite liked him while he was here, the fact remains that if you continually have to gamble, you're often going to fall short.

 

Dossena was just one of those gambles, a stop gap to plug a hole in the squad. i don't think he was ever intended to be more than that. didn't work, but it was by no means certain that he'd fail

 

third - aquilani. we just don't know how well a fully fit and acclimatised aquilani would have done in a benitez team. may have been great. may have flopped. we just don't know, so it's a tad disingenuous using him as an example of an outright failure.

[RobbieOR]

Hermes making himself look like a bigger cunt than he already is. Who'd have thunk it?

Kuyt is pretty good at football, wouldn't you agree?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

How would any of us to be able to argue against that eh? We are all a hell of a lot younger than you.

 

In fact hang on I'll have a go.

 

We were a Second Division side when Shanks took over, so no the squad isn't anywhere near as bad is it. Your just acting the fool here.

 

Once again a post from you that is severely lacking substance.

 

EDIT: I would say Souness' legacy was a hell of a lot worse. Gargantuan proportions to be precise.

Jaysus mate thats selective is'nt it? Did we forget Hamann Hyppia Finnan Henchoz?

Heskey was sold before Benitez arrived by the way.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Don't know why everyone's talking about that, he just said he wants to move back to Liverpool one day, not manage Liverpool.

That'd be a valid point Paul, if he actually lived in Liverpool before he left.

[Phoenix]

I wish the guy all the best. He obviously loved the club.

 

He left Liverpool in a better state than he found it.

One season of regression does not discount the success he had. Established us a major force again. A team scaring the living daylights out of Real Madrid.

 

Today we are in a worse position without him.

[23CARRAGOLD]

The wankers are out the woodwork again, all it takes is one interview!

 

Fucking comical, the same people slating the personal abuse of Roy calling the ex manager fat arse and other such abusive shite.

[Torvald Utne]

That'd be a valid point Paul' date=' if he actually lived in Liverpool before he left.[/quote']

 

Be fair, 10-12 miles from the centre of Liverpool is as good as living in Liverpool when you're from Madrid.

No it's not. Not ony did he live in a different county, there was an expanse of water to navigate to get there. Go and ask anyone from the Wirral if they live in Liverpool. We even had a play about it.

I was only being as selective as he decided to be. He cant have it both ways mate.

[Joe Le Taxi]

I like the article and I want Rafa back one day, when the shitstorm over the club has gone. There has been a lot of shit in this thread and so much hate directed at the man.

 

I want Roy to do well but I would love for Rafa to return.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

I doubt it, but the Inter experience will be interesting.

 

I'd take a fully focussed Benitez over anyone in the world, and he probably knows he can't take the piss over there.

 

IF he gets it right, IF we get ourselves sorted out and IF he genuinely wants to return, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

 

Not very plausible obviously.

 

Fuck me have you been on the mushies?? The biggest issue has and always will be the pair of cunts at the top, the knives were out last season and yet again the attention was deflected from the real issue, due in no small part to the merry little band of followers the bellend at the news of the screws was leading a merry little dance.

 

That little shite took all the ire that should have been laid at the owners doors and laid it at the managers, due to what only the inside clique will ever be privy to.

 

He could have galvanised the fans behind the manager and the team last year, but I believe he carries more selfpride in the belief he got rid of Benitez, than how well the club are doing.
