Do you want Rafa back?

Say hyperbolism three times fast, bet ya can't. Oh and thats not a word

Hyperbolism is a word. Hyperbolicism, as i typed, isnt. However, it was clear what point was being made.

I suspect you dont know what either means, though. Just like you didnt know what 'competitive' meant either, in the context of competitiveness of different football leagues.

Hyperbolism
It is and a spelling error doesn't change that or change you rubbish.

Riera - no
Keane - no
Dossena - no
Aquilani - looks like he would have done this season He's playing in Serie A ffs its a completely different league u ****
Johnson - yes Eh no
Kyriagkos - Improved the squad
Maxi - yes deluded much
Ngog - Improved the squad

I'd guess that would compare reasonably well against any other manager's transfer dealings.

But your right It would compare reasonably good if you are completely and utterly biased alright.

Ferguson's signings in the last four windows:

Hernandez (left off the list for some reason)
Christopher Lloyd Smalling (undisclosed, Fulham)
Luis Antonio Valencia Mosquera (undisclosed, Wigan Athletic)
Michael James Owen (free, Newcastle United)
Gabriel Obertan (£3m, Bordeaux)
Mame Biram Diouf (undisclosed, Molde)
Zoran Tošić (undisclosed, Partizan Belgrade)
Adem Ljajić (undisclosed, Partizan Belgrade)
Ritchie Ria Alfons de Laet (undisclosed, Stoke City)

Which of those has improved the first team?

A lot of those are younger players who wouldn't be expected to get into the first team straight away. The likes of Keane, Riera, Dossena, Johnson & Aquilani were all established international players who were expected to slot into our first team and improve it. The only player on the United list who fits that category is Valencia. Owen, of course, is also experienced, but was never going to be more than a squad player there.

It's not a word, no. Hyperbolism is the correct term. However, it was clear what point was being made.

Yeah your right craig

Why? It's vital to understand the restrictions Benitez was subjected to at the time. I can understand if you state that figures we see in the press don't reflect everything but to dismiss net spend would be ludicrous.

I'm not dismissing the arguement, it's just something that's been done to death already and I have no interest in going over it again.

I didn't call you a **** because of your opinions but because of the way you slate other posters who don't see things the same way as you do. And still you do it.

Do try to understand the difference, there's a dear.

How many of them were bought for their first team? 1 which was Valencia who done extremely well until he got injured, the rest are young and up and coming players, sure some failed but ridiculous comparison between Rafa's buys in the last 2 years and what they offered to our first team.

Valencia was a replacement for Ronaldo.

Yeah your right craig

You're

You're welcome.

It's pretty arrogant and snooty of people to decide why others are voting.

I was thinking exactly the same actually.

I made that comment based on the remarks other posters have made on why they voted for wanting Rafa back.

Many said something along the lines of having reservations but him being better than Roy. They're right, but it's not a good enough reason to reappoint Rafa in my opinion. I'm not deciding why people voted a certain way, and it's ridiculous to claim I am, merely interpreting their comments.

I did, you were just wrong. You should be used to it by now.

At least 3 of the 8 Rafa signings listed, werent for the first team either.

[Lecter]

Wonder if Rafa will take in a game (assuming he's back on the Wirral) over Xmas.

Rafa being Rafa he'd go and sit in the Kop.

Indeed

If he did that there would be bedlam

Wouldnt like to be Roy on the day he did that it could be rather embarassing
