[Archived] Liverpool Away Preview

[Gav]

Pity Avram Grant didn't feel the need to compare Liverpools style of player to the WWF Royal Rumble after Stevie Me's forearm smash on Brown.

Did you see it Rafa?

[broadsword]

He's already sent the tape to Barca.

They are going to review it, though we are talking about a Liverpool player here so nothing will probably happen.

I think it is a model for all the players around the world, Gerrard's behaviour.It is the perfect model for all the kids and I'm sure all parents will enjoy this model and encourage their kids to be the same.

Those are the facts.

Another quality transaction by Señor Benitez

At 200,000 pounds an appearance he seems quite expensive after taking a 2 million loss

[neekoy]

How much does this fat (Please don't use that word again) want?

"We need to sign some players, we need to bring some money. We need an investor and then we can challenge in a better way. The players are working so hard and they feel they can do more."

Tagline under the photo "Rafa Benitez agrees with Fernando Torres that Liverpool need new blood"

I think Torres is talking about the Manager

Benitez sold Xabi, Arbeloa and Hyypia, the apparent backbone according to Torres. Only one person takes the blame.

[Hughesy]

Hasnt Rafa spent more than Fergie has in the same period at United??

[Majiball]

Rafa calling for investment, LOL.

If I was investing in Liverpool, the first one I would make is the sum total of the rest of his contract.

[Hughesy]

Rafa joined in 2004.

So here is the spending for 2004-2009

Liverpool have earned more money from transfer sales than Manchester United during these past five years. But note that the above figures do not include the $131 million transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

You would also need to add Xabi, Reira, Arbeloa etc (you know Liverpools annual 7 players turnover)and the 20 million pound purchase of Aquilini, be interesting to see 2010 figures added...

Phillip?

[DE.]

That table is quite embarrassing as far as Newcastle and Sunderland are concerned. All that money spent, and for what? A relegation battle for one and a season in the Championship for the other.

The place to look at updated figures from February this year...
