"I wish he'd stayed at Anfield"

[murder_inc]

well put me on ignore and you wont have to. your going on my list as well as a complaint to the mods.

cya.

[Shaggy]

Rafa also felt...

Fernando Morientes was worth £6.5M, and...
Josemi would replace Steve Finnan, and...
Mauricio Pellegrino was good enough to replace Sami Hyypia, and worthy of a year-and-a-half contract, and...
Djimi Traore should be offered a 4-year contract.

He makes mistakes Dilbert, like the one you made when enetering into this discussion armed with nothing but your monotone wit, and a few fcukin "haha's"...

NEXT!

Yes and Benitez quickly realises when he's made a mistake, and wastes no time rectifying it.

Yet Crouch is still at the club and will be for some time. Does that tell you something?

Next!

Hey Ryan, i thought you were warned by the mods.
Keep it up with the hostile remarks my friend, you will soon have to go back to kacktalk with your hat in hand begging to be let back in because every forum on here has got your numbers and wont let you in, then you will have a very hard time because you can't be hostile in the real world because you will get your face mashed.
So please calm the **** down lad it is getting tiresome and boring and putting people off posting in here.

Hahaha. I don't think anyone has forgotten the fabulously deranged and splenetic rant that you posted on here recently and had to apologise for. Wind your neck in.

[Peter Delvechio]

How in hell do you know how long he's going to be with the club?

Are you Dunk or something?

[Rich]

Can we keep it on discussion and not start with a slanging match please!!!

Respect people's opinions - and maybe, just maybe agree to disagree.

[Neuklon]

Anelka. Could have cried when we released Nic but kept friggin Heskey.

Also I'd have kept Murphy.

Going back I'd have not sold Peter Beardsley.

The most pertinent point I made was that he is still at the club - how do you explain that one then? Of the mistakes you listed made by Benitez, they have all been rectified bar the continued presence of Djimi Traore - although as we all know he's been told he can leave...making it a clean sweep.

So?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Although I think I admired him a touch more during his temper-fuelled "You're a ******" rants than I did when trawling through his snivelling, grovelling "lets be friends" apologies...

Morientes was worth the £6.3m transfer fee, he was an established striker that had played at the top level for several years - sadly never got to grips with the EPL. Rafa saw this, and shipped him back to Spain pronto.

Josemi - started off well, had had some good reviews from his time in Malaga and I remember reading he was knocking on the door of the Spanish squad. We bought him for £2m, and then swapped him for a better player in Kromkamp. I'd say that was a success by Rafa.

Pellegrino - helped with the zonal marking and also gave Hyypia a rest before big European games - which must have helped our cause in those games. Yes, his legs were gone and thankfully he never signed that 18month contract, however, I don't look at his time at the club as a failure.

Djimi Traore - I have no comment about this one - truly a strange decision.... I bet we'd cry if we knew what he was earning a week too...

Not everyone will agree with each other's opinions, thats life, **** happens.
If anyone disagrees with a comment try and argue it properly with valid points etc rather than just dismissing/abusing each other like what happens in playgrounds all over the country. If you don't like what someone says and can't debate/argue reasonably, just ignore the post. It's not difficult.

So?

So, I think he's still at the club for any number of reasons.

1. Rafa is going to give him one more season to prove he can also score goals regularly.

2. Rafa feels that he wouldn't generate enough funds from the sale to fund a replacement.

3. Rafa is as blind to his limitations as many of my fellow fans are.

I don't know if it's any of these, all of them or something else. What I do know is that you don't know how long he'll be at the club.

Rumsfeld would call it "a known unknown".

At last, someone who can debate matters without acting like a jumped up kid in a playground.

Correct, I don't know how long he'll be at the club but I'd bet good money he'll be here for a while yet.

Also, people will have differing views on what is an acceptable amount of goals for Crouch to score. Personally, if he scores 15 league goals this season I'll be happy with him.

If Rodders scores 15 Premiership goals this season, I will eat my big, ****ing metaphorical hat.

Can we save this post?

...not that Crouch is going to net 15 league goals, mind.

I think he'd have also be leaving for nothing if we hadn't renewed his contract. Not that we'll get much for him anyway but it's better than a kick in the dick. Also we weren't in a position to replace him last year.
