Dud signings

[BFG]

Why? Because they didn't play for Liverpool perhaps?!

Nail, head.

Nic if you want to know why most people viewing this are seeing this as a dig against our manager/s and leaping to Rafa's defence in particular this line in your first post is surely to blame:

"Just thinking about Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez and the amount of cack they have brought into the club (in fairness, Rafa for the most part usually realises his mistakes and gets rid) and then thinking of Wenger and struggling to think of even one signing he made that flopped greatly."

If you genuinely wanted a thread about flops across the league then perhaps that was a mistake?

Veron was dross, but actually Chelsea did worse out of him.

United = £28m, sold for £15m
Chelsea = £15m, sold for? Glue?

United lost £13 million on him...So unless he left Chelsea on a free, or for under £2m (I don't know, i never followed his career) then United definitely did worse.

nunez - not sure if rafa chose him or it was just the best he could do out of madrid in the owen saga

and Pellegrino - I dont understand the he was **** comments. he was bought to help with zonal marking and almost as a coach. i doubt he was bought to play. so i dont look at him as a flop. not a great player for us but that is not what he was brought to the club for in our opinion

and as for wenger look at some of the first players he bought to Arsenal.

stepanovs plus that porugese lad who is at fulham now. volks? or something. there are quite a few of the early players who where crap. he has signed alot of quality too but also some ****.

You can't compare Wenger favourably with Rafa then use Houllier's signings to back up your argument.

So Wenger's flops on that list cost £44.7mil plus whatever Cygan cost and Rafa's cost the £2mil we spent on Josemi.

Exactly. Nic83 talks such ****e at times. I note he didn't respond to your answer there, simply because there is no argument.

When Rafa spends big money he buy and large gets it right. Seems to be the other way round for Wenger.

To be fair though it really has alot todo with the scouting networks at both clubs. A manager has to be told about a player to make a descision. Wenger has a great scouting network and has built this up over time.

Take a look at our young players and you will see that Rafa is getting there.

EDIT, what he said was completly irrelevant. I compared Rafa to Wenger and used Houlliers signings? WTF? I didn't compare anyone, in fact it's mainly houlliers signings more than rafa's that were ****e so how I am comparing Rafa to Wenger.... I noted that the last 2 LFC managers have had too many dud signings for my liking and then said Wenger was one of the managers who stood out as making the fewest and wanted people's opinions on others that sprang to mind. It isn't the first time he's confused me either so best to just let him interpret my post how he wants! I don't know why I wasted my time responding to this, totally irrelevant.

PS, aren't you the one who put forward Torres as most improved player. And I talk ****e? Haha

I think Veron left Chelsea on a freebie.
