2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Eggsyblueskin]

40k a week is peanuts for a PL player - Pennington was on 30k a week and was out on loan to the Championship every season.

If this fella scores a few goals from the bench he's more than earned his crust based on a £0.00 fee.

I would genuinely rather see Niasse return to the team than watch that useless fat tub of lard wander aimlessly about the pitch, in fact ‘wander’ is actually optimistic.
He should coat himself in silver paint and go and stand on Lord St,, he could earn a fortune posing as footballer statue.

It was meant as a joke....
Although not as funny as the thought that there are only 2 of us on GOT who are ridiculous, I'd go for the majority of posters on here as being ridiculous at some point in their tenure - its half the fun of GOT.

Haha, fair comment!

Of course you would want niasse. Rondon has scored 1 goal in over 10 hours of PL football. Niasse left with a record of better than a goal every 180 mins.

I doubt rondon will leave with a record like that.

To be honest I would have no confidence in one of these DOF characters myself.. much rather a person who has played the game or been a manager making the decision on what a good footballer looks like.. I would rather trust the judgement of a Harry Redknapp.. Tony Pulis.. Howard Wilkinson or Alex Ferguson type football men than your Purslow.. Daniel Levy..Brands or Michael Edwards who are more suited to business than a football field..

Like I say.. if it’s my head on the block I want to fail on my own terms if I am going to rather than somebody else’s who has probably never even wore a tracksuit..

Yeah, but you are looking at things in the best interests of the manager, I'm looking at things in the best interests of the club.

We just can't afford to go on letting new managers come in and get there own players in, then, when they are gone, after a year or two, leaving us with players the new manager doesn't want.

The days of a manager in total control of successful clubs has gone, with the obscene amounts of wages involved these days, it is unsustainable.

Good logic there. One poster makes one comment and all of a sudden, everyone who doesn't like benitez is homphobic?

But you didn't pull them up on it though...so I'm forced to make that conclusion.

Also Rondon is one of Benitez's special acquistions.

no, I was making the point that his whole recruitment strategy was blown to bits, and that his plans for the season had to be totally rewritten with the loss of dcl. It's just important to be aware that if we had kept him fit the way he was for Carlo, I reckon we would be well on course to better last season's 'exploits'.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda

 

[windymiller]

jeez windy, he's a chap that has won trophies wherever he's gone (save for the mercy missions such as Newcastle), and he's had three months of season one. Relax, it's going to be okay. The danger has passed.

He hasn't won a trophy in ages, he won't be winning one here.

We couldn't afford Niasse

 

[windymiller]

They are teams that have a back up striker already in place at a cost. Who did we have to replace him with PL experience? Squad failure from previous seasons

Richarlison

Wowsers.

Richarlison

and what choice did we have when he was out?

That's a weird way of looking at the world.

You didn't pull them up on it either, you just used it as a way to marginalise and divide instead. So you must be homophobic as well then by your logic.

Ultimately, he speaks for himself. Noone else on this site. So making a baseless accusation like that about a number of posters is wrong.

Used to be James

You have to learn to walk before you learn to run.

We have to win games on a regular basis before we worry about the style involved in winning those games.
