I find it hilarious that he wants full control over transfers for a number of reasons...
He's bought a lot of duds at Liverpool e.g. Lucas, Pennant, Dossena etc
He never plays one of his brightest young talents (Babel) instead preferring completely unproven players (El Zhar).
He pulled off the masterstroke of buying Keane for an outrageous transfer fee and then selling him months later for a loss.
Would you trust him with a £20-30m transfer kitty?
Exactly,
and when I was making fun of the Dossena transfer, some members were giving me an earfull saying he would be challenging Evra as the league's best left back.
When have they gone now?
Anyway, Rafa is gone in the summer.
When Valencia didn't back his transfer policies he left pretty quickly too and made several parting shots after he left.
I can remember reading at the time that he was bitter they didn't back him and thinking this isn't going to bode well for Liverpool.
He flattered to deceive by delivering tournament trophies, but he just can't quit making silly mistakes in the league.
I know that the season isn't over yet, but leaving Keane out of the Stoke match and then selling him will prove to be costly mistakes.
Any more injuries to Stevie G or Torres and I feel they will struggle to finish in second place.
For me Chelsea still has the better squad and i've said as much in the Liverpool thread.
