I have never known a manager of a top English team to get away with wasting so much money, year, after year...Their champions league victory was horribly lucky, to all Benitez haters like myself, but generally speaking...his return on $ invested, in players, must surely be one of the worst of the managers of the teams in the upper echelons of european football.
I feel sorry for Aquiliani really. Rome compared to Liverpool is like going from riding a R1 to a Honda c50. And also, he is nowhere near a replacement, in terms of proven quality, for Alonso, whose talents are consistently displayed along with mature, admirable composure. He is one of my favourite players in the game. And I still rue missing out on him last season...Still. No need to be too bothered, as I am happier with the current Juve squad, than I have been for many years...If only we could bring back those evil, but reliable nazis, Moller and Kohler, and the little soldier, Di Livio...even as a mascot...I would be in heaven.
