Rafa

[woodylfc]

Would he have spent the 70 odd-million on better players ? I'm now officially worried

[ngogswilly]

This will end well.

[Funkasy]

Not using any money would be better then what we have bought

Yes, he would have. There, ive said it, go on, neg me to fuck, like the original poster.

I know. I foresee a lot of shit coming my way

[usernameunknown]

Yes. I thought he was excellent in the transfer market and even his supposed "flops" like Aquilani would walk in to this team.

[Mr T]

Rafa is certainly a better manager than Kenny MK II. Under this reign, we're playing some of the worst football I've ever seen. Just a few short years ago we were spanking Real 4-0.

[Drewas]

We were feared under Rafa, everyone knew their role, we had the Argentine captain and no team looked forward to playing us.

 

This is Grim.

[etho]

Yes.

[18-5]

N'Gog is so much better than Carroll lol

Sometimes we were, lets not paint a picture like it was all perfect, there were many league performances like today under him.

You are a cunt.

[18-5]

I got negged to oblivion for saying that Kenny isn't that good a manager.

 

A good manager buys good players imo. Tactics and players go hand in hand.

[woodylfc]

Kenny is my hero but the facts are we have spunked our cash. There is no other way to spin it.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It wouldn't have been a hard task, would it?

[woodylfc]

 

You are a cunt.

 

Maybe but answer the question?

[The Dude Abides]

I was just thinking actually, the one positive I'm still taking form this season is our back five, and i realised of course that four of those five were Rafa signings......

 

But yeah, Rafa with that kind of money i think would have shown a bit more imagination than Kenny/Comolli and their buy british policy(handicap) have anyway. Then again, we have still signed some very good players too. Jose and Luis are genuine players. Coates, though still all potential, looks excellent.

 

It all just seems very obvious to me, buy on the continent. There's a few reasons many British players don't play abroad, and quality is one of them, so why spend so much time money and effort with singing the likes of Downing, Carroll and Henderson, when you could have a Mata, or a Vidal, or a Klose? For not much more, and in most cases, a good deal cheaper. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

[Unrighteous]

He's gone. Get over it.

[Drewas]

It wasnt perfect, what team is, but good players were kept and bad ones shipped out.

 

When Agger is the most competent on the ball and has had pretty much the only attempt on goal, theres clearly something wrong.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It's hard not to feel a touch nostalgic towards the better days of the Rafa years, but that's natural when you're doing poorly on the pitch. I think we need to ride the wave, back the manager with some cash for new players, or we sack him and let somebody else buy players. It's an easy choice. I say back him.

[Strontium]

All I can say is that I hope John Henry still has his fax number.

[18-5]

Rafa could attract big stars to the club. The down side was big wages. We cannot overlook that. As long as we had CL football, big wage bill was sustainable. Rafa got us to finals and semi finals which meant good money. So he had every right to spend what he did.

[me1]

Rafa with money would have bought class.

I agree. Got to give him more time but it makes me want to cry thinking what could have been with the 1st real massive cash injection into the club if it was spent wisely. It's almost like the diouf transfer window.

[Biscao]

Yes, let's go back 2 years to the happy days of being twatted by Pompey. Fucking hell, you guys are lemmings, without their memory banks.

 

That guy back and I fear a lot of people will take a time out supporting the club.
