The average spend per player may be relatively low in comparisson to rivals but the total expenditure is very similar which just shows that he bought shit and not only has he bought shit, he has bought it by the truckload!

Dont talk shit mate, he has had to build a whole squad, where as Wenger and Fergie have been through that stage and now they have been there a long time have the chance to only need to spend their budget on a few players.

You cant even compare us to Mourinhos time at Chelsea, as he bought by the bucketload AND spend about £150m a summer.

We didn't deserve it....didn't want it.

Nani is an arrogant prick tho and deserves kicking up in the air.

Nevermind....still 5 points clear at the top of the league.

Exactly, Rafa has to build for now with the money he has, and also for the future with the kids he is buying.

He could do a Wenger and spend nothing on our first team but we'd not win anything until the kids come through which wouldnt be to everyones liking either.

So if I am talking shit why has he bought over 60 players, spent over £200m and they are STILL in the position where the team are not good enough?

£200m

60 players including kids mate, which probably make up around half of that ATLEAST.

With your strength in depth you should be able to do that and just bring in players to compliment the ones you have.

By saying he has to build a whole squad sounds like you don't have any quality in the players you do have.

Torres and Mascherano should have been enough to give you a chance this season.

I get what you are saying, and from this summer we are in a position (imo) where we only need to add those two or three quality signings to the squad. Before now, including last summer, we werent in that position. If we'd of just signed Torres and one other player, and not signed..Lucas, Babel, Benayoun, Intanje, Voronin, Skrtel and the kids he signed, then we'd of had such a small squad we'd be fucked right now with the injuries we have.

Torres and Masch certainly added to what we have, and are of the top quality we need to be signing, but those two were no where near enough, and as you know I said before this season already started that it wouldnt be enough.

1 of the Champions Leagues was, as many Liverpool fans I know, acknowledge a fluke. The second you lost.

FA Cup - I will give you that one although on that note it hasn't gone to a team outside of the Top 4 since Everton won it under Joe Royal.

Super Cup - A one off match.

Community Shield - A one off match.

Carling Cup is treated as a bit of a hinderance by many teams so saying you were runners up is a bit lame. 2nd place is the first placed loser though!

You do not fluke the leagues stages and then two round knock out games against (the old) Juventus and Chelsea and then coming from 3 goals down to win it in the final. And you dont repeat the fluke by making it to a second CL final.

Anyway, flukes or not they were won, so it makes fuck all difference.

Now correct your own posts and inform me of this £200m he has spent. And then inform me of these 60 players and how many were kids and how many actually are in the first team squad.
