We are lucky that Spurs, the mancs and Villa keep screwing up as well...at least we are still in the hunt for 4th Rafa has spent so much $ over the last few years and most of these signings have turned into duds. HE surely has to be accountable for Alonsogate!! Xabi was as loyal as you get for the reds and then got screwed by Rafa as he went in search of Barry. The loss of Alonso has ruined the balance in the team too.
/facepalm.
Surely he also must be accountable then for making 20 million pounds profit and turning him from one of the most promising Spanish players- snatched to our club from the mighty Real Madrid's grasp- into one of the most controlling players in world football. Yeah, he shouldn't have tried to get rid of him. But, to be fair, he was pretty average in the two seasons between his first one and his last one.
Signed, Rafa's fiercest supporter!
