He spends poorly. <BR/><BR/>When he came in, Cisse was the transfer record; and since then he has bought five players who cost more (Torres, Keane, Mascherano, Kuyt, Babel). He has also shattered the club record on defenders (Dossena ... ugh).BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-78799132164326354472009-02-25T12:42:00.000-05:002009-02-25T12:42:00.000-05:00Bruce Arena would like to implement his 4-5-1 at A...Bruce Arena would like to implement his 4-5-1 at Anfield.EbullientFatalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502420022767098791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-60592554358364327552009-02-25T12:18:00.000-05:002009-02-25T12:18:00.000-05:00Georger, the problem is he needed to build a squad...Georger, the problem is he needed to build a squad, but had little money with which to do it. He has also shown a willingness to dump those guys that aren't cutting it. Most managers aren't willing to do that. Including some of those guys is quite harsh, too. Degen has been there for 8 months and came on a free. Leto and Lucas are still fairly young, with Leto being quite cheap. Lucas was a stud in the Brazilian league, I can see why Rafa would want to stick with him.<BR/><BR/>I just hope they don't can him without someone lined up to replace him; that would only lead to disaster.cjdomer04https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832195495846746832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-88622217503467556152009-02-25T11:39:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:39:00.000-05:00That being said, firing him midseason would be dum...That being said, firing him midseason would be dumb, and him walking out right now would be childish and speaks to his character.<BR/><BR/>Don't think it happens.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-14039500409229888092009-02-25T11:34:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:34:00.000-05:00Well shit even he is more qualified for that sort ...Well shit even he is more qualified for that sort of demand, how many summers full of flops has he had?<BR/><BR/>Either Parry or Benitez needs to go, whichever one was in charge of Pennant, Bellamy, Gonzalez, Pellagrino, Paletta, Leto, Lucas, Dossena, Deggen, Itandje, Zenden.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-71072890440230138952009-02-25T11:30:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:30:00.000-05:00Georger, I'm pretty sure O'Neill's got full contro...Georger, I'm pretty sure O'Neill's got full control over transfersEmail us athttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952127683665557204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-92217072571379691182009-02-25T11:25:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:25:00.000-05:00I hear Avram Grant is available.I hear Avram Grant is available.BurgerBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504245702664049876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-15311955493508405812009-02-25T11:10:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:10:00.000-05:00"...there are only a handful of managers worldwide..."...there are only a handful of managers worldwide that would be as good or better."<BR/><BR/>I'm speaking of Rafa in that sentance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-40330528689401672262009-02-25T11:09:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:09:00.000-05:00I can't imagine a set of circumstances where we'd ...I can't imagine a set of circumstances where we'd be able to land Martin O'Neill in the summer.<BR/><BR/>Despite his general stubborness and blindness towards the Evil That Is Lucas Leiva, there are only a handful of managers worldwide that would be as good or better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-33403022949218850682009-02-25T11:04:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:04:00.000-05:00Georger, where's the unrestrained joy?Georger, where's the unrestrained joy?Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380632310675126766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-62128191028194948932009-02-25T10:54:00.000-05:002009-02-25T10:54:00.000-05:00Has any manager been given full control of transfe...Has any manager been given full control of transfers like he wants? <BR/><BR/>If they have, I'm guessing it would be someone like SAF who has justified that kind of control with success and the ability to find diamonds in the rough.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.com
