Good interview with Rafa.

[bobbyfallon]

He could shout whatever he liked.

Rafa

glad your in touch with your feminine side and all but i think this is taking it to the extreme. ---------- brings a whole new meaning to i take what i can get on the isle of white/man

[Mattimetal]

Was that a little hint there that he's interested in signing Ronaldinho?

Excellent read - Rafa is so on the ball.
I wish the interviewer had asked him about Aguero...!

[disco]

Superb article, very very good indeed.

One slight cause of concern - will the owners share his view that they 'only' spent £40m-odd and recovered £26m-odd?

We haven't even been linked with him

[Imy]

Does everyone else read that with a Rafa accent in their head? LOL

If Rafa was interested in him then he would know the day to day situation, I think you can be very sure about that.

To me this sounded like on a day to day basis Ronaldhino is a lazy unmotivated so and so and we are not interested in him.

We have mate. Not now like, but when he was leaving Independiente.

That was 2 years ago,no

Ha ha, true, but the might be focussing on the £40m being a lot of money....

More like 18 months but the point is Rafa rates him and wanted to sign him.

But we've been linked with half the players in Europe since. I'm sure Rafa likes lots of players. I just don't get how people are putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with Augero.

After reading that i reckon we will only sign a centre back, so Aguero (who's been a revelation with Deigo Forlan) is a non starter.

He only said he wished the interviewer had asked Rafa about him, which is perfectly normal when you consider we’ve allegedly tried to sign him before and the player is currently in tremendous form.

I doubt that Rafa isn't looking at him as an option because he has showed that he is a player he want.

Who knows if we will sign him or not, probably depends on how big his transfer budget is.

Not to mention the fact that when Aguero was in the press at the time he constantly told them all he was a Liverpool supporter, and he celebrated the '05 win as if he was a LFC player.. no?

One has got to have the asumption we would have snapped him up then if we'd had the money.

I was really impressed with him in the U20 WC and he could replace Tevez in the Arg starting XI - he's already made his debut against Bolivia last month.

Point is, if we have the money then we should buy him it's as simple as that. But we lost out at the time and unless we pay over the odds he'll stay in Spain.
