American owners to scrutinise Benitez's transfer record

[einar]

Nope. Our season finished 10 days ago and we have signed a few players you know.

Based on what has been said, particularly by Rafa.

[Morten_nogamst_Pedersen]

Sounds promising.

Yeah, really promising.

It'll be an interesting summer.

We all assumed. That is the problem mate. Proves no one knows anything.

True Mate.We'll know by August whether they're all Gob and no trousers.

The Echo says they have done **** in the Stanley Cup only reaching the 2nd round twice since 2000.

Working? Yeah yeah.

Really I thought they had done well ah well heres to the next 15 years of frustration.
I can multitask, type whitty, informative and intelligent responses while responding to you lot as well :bird:

[DeeGame]

Yeah, really promising.

There is the fact that we could have concluded a deal or two but with Rafa out the country and most players on international duty the deals just haven't been confirmed.

I'm guessing though.

[redblood]

Or maybe trying to make sure we all keep our feet on the ground?

Looks like you're right mate check this out

Anything familiar about their record and ours.

Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup after Hicks took over. FACT.

Hicks signed Alex Rodriguez to Texas Rangers, record contract 100 and something million dollars for 10 years, under his tenure. FACT.

What does this say?
More than some journo over there sprouting bollocks, thats for sure.

[G]

They haven't won it since,FACT

He may have been their token superstar purchase to keep the fans happy

[tomasjj]

They haven't won it since,FACT

They have been in the play offs 4 of the 5 latest seasons, winning their division twice. FACT.

[AFII]

They haven't won it since,FACT

That is probably because you are not allowed to pay the players over the wage cap in the NHL. That means that you can't sign star after star.

Ottawa and Anaheim play in this years final and Carolina won the Stanley Cup last year.

To be fair to you both there are facts to back up both sides of the argument. I think we should just wait and see what happens at LFC before we start panicking.

Hopefully things don't turn out as badly as some of us fear at the moment.

Maybe I got mixed up with the 2 I knew one of my mates had said that one of the owners had won the Stanley Cup.
If you look at the Canadiens it is a little freaky that they are the most successful team in the league but haven't won anything since the early 90's.
I'm not saying these lads are not all they are cracked up to be I actually think they will do a good job for us.

[Chris]

I know its stating the obvious but we're just going to have to wait and see and remember that the Spanish League doesnt finish for 2 weeks yet, 3 weeks for Sevilla and Getafe.

Bascombe sensationalies everything, DIC were perfect, DIC were rubbish, T+G are legends, T+G are rubbish. I trust him when he says we're after so and so but he does my head in when his articles are like this.

They've certainly backed up their words but trying to improve the new stadium so lets hope they do it in the transfer market and im optimistic they will

[tomasjj]

Yeah, I am not sure what G and T will turn out to be either, but just wanted to present something on the other side of the argument.
