Rafa - I'm here to stay

[Craig_H]

Unfortunately the facts would not support you!

Rafa himself said it's because we're only in 2 competitions...so your 'no rotation' hope is ill founded, it'll be back next season...

I say it's not about money for a different reason.

And who's to say he won't change?

My biggest problem with him is that 4 years in and we still don't have a defined attacking style of play. Our passing and movement is second rate in comparison with others. And we have the players to be much better, but we aren't.

The defined style of play is to do with consistently changing players and systems - of course there isnt a defined style.

Likewise, the passing and movement doesnt stand any chance when it's chop and change all the time...how can you develop a quick passing style?

Why's he gonna change now, after doing it for 4 years?

What facts are these?

He made at least 3 changes from the last game.

He averages about 4 a game.

I don't think that's the case at all.

Look at the scum and the arse, they have a defined philosophy of the way they want to play football, regardless of who's playing.

Fair point. They're all used to that though. Changing players and systems all the time doesnt help that process in the interim.

Man U have spent around £41m net this season, we have spent around £38m.

Just so you know that SpeedyG.

Torres + Babel + Mascher + Benni + Skrtel + Lucas + PLessis + Leto + Voronin + Valla Dalle + San Jose + Insua.

I make it we spent at least the same. How do you get to 41m on Manure?

Carra's was back from suspension and Alonso and Skrtel were back from injury. Otherwise it was the SAME team. Hardly rotation is it?

I checked it up on the net.

It is though.

He wasn't forced to pick them, he chose to.

It's funny how you're ignoring my posts about rafa saying he was rotating less because there are less competitions now...

[AFII]

Details?

It's very easy. Just google Manchester U net spend 2007-08.

So, he should have played a weaker team just to avoid rotation?

Mate, I ignore most of your posts

Did I say he shouldn't have rotated?

Was just making the point that he chose to make changes when the chap above said he hadn't.
