Rafa's Transfers.

I would not be surprised if Xabi was the only one he would have bought with a proper budget.
Mabe Momo.

[marcgerard]

If the reports are correct about Benitez wanting to buy Momo when it was thought Gerrard was leaving then I think you can say that regardless of budget Rafa would have wished to buy him at some point.

As it is we got a bargain when we did.

Q: Who said that Rafa is not always the best judge of a player?

A: Pako Ayestaran - See 'Rafa Benitez' by Paco Lloret
