The Case for Rafa - In relation to cheap transfers etc ...

[Reece]

Yes. There is info on why here. It would be appreciated if any discussion of disciplinary actions were conducted either by PM with a mod or probably more appropriately in the feedback forum.

He's a bit of a pratt but banning him for life is taking the piss if you ask me. He's extremely negative but but I respect him for holding his own and I also respect his views.

I hope this site doesn't turn into kraptalk whereby peeps get banned life right & centre for silly things.

jesus. the djs thing has been done to death over the last few days. im no authority in here but i suggest if you have any queries about why then as suggested you should use the pm function or the news and feedback and not using threads in the lfc section. mike and paul have explained some of their reasons for banning him and i think people should just accept the decision that has been made.

I do agree but I thought he'd only been banned. It's very disquieting to find out he's actually been done to death.

I am sure it won't, but back on topic - I would like to see one maybe even two pacey wingmen added - I don't care whether they are cheap or if they are pricey.

Overlapping fullbacks are a must too. ;-)

Dunno about it being a masterstroke ... time will tell. Looks a shrewd signing right now though.

hung, drawn and quartered is the rumour being spread

Deggen is a risk. Unproven at the top level. At least Boswinga has been able to compete in the Champions League and pit himself against the top players. He is much more likely to succeed at the top level than Deggen. We can't afford more passengers like we had in the semi-final.

At this point in Rafa's Liverpool project why is he taking a risk? If he doesn't have the money he should come out and shame the owners.

Dunno why but i'm expecting Degen to be more of a Voronin.

If he's so good why were no other TOP teams after him? surely Dortmund would have fought tooth and nail to keep him? You generally pay for top quality (maybe not signing fee but certainly wages).

We're shopping in the pound shop/extra value section again

Won't actually make any difference though will it. Other than probably getting him the sack. He's just got to make the best of a bad job. Let's face it if there's no money it'll be obvious come the end of the transfer window.

A vague hope is that this time last year we were linked with players like Yossi and next thing we know Torres and Babel are on there way. Let's hope Rafa is getting the cheap pieces of business out of the way while seeing what he can get for those leaving before going for his main target(s).

i can never remember bosingwa being a standout player for porto. a higher transfer fee doesnt necessarily mean a better player

two examples;

agger - 6mil carvalho - 19 mil
arbeloa - 2.5 mil ferriera - 14 mil

Hopefully he'll be more of a Babbel than a Voronin.

Must admit his signing doesn't set the pulse raising but given the low expectation levels surely the only way is up.

He is regarded as a good attacking right back and that is something that would definitely benefit us.

He's not - that little red man isn't Reece.

Yeah, and I bet you were saying the same thing when we were linked with Agger and Skrtel.

Well dww had asked kindly if the djs thing not be gone over in this thread, but you still did.

That's all.
