Rafa Benitez - Coach - Pool (25 Viewers)

[only-juve]

luckily he won't have the final say in transfers, that is Secco and Bettega's department.

I'd rather Benitez doing the job if thats the case.

Dear God, Secco running transfers per Benitez's instructions...that's like my worst Juve nightmare.

why you guys are complaining this much about Benitez' transfers ?

 

[Ahmed]

So you don't want him to bring Kuyt with him?

never really liked him, to be honest.

Because he buys a lot of players and a lot of crap players to boot.

 

[CAPITANO]

10 Mil to Pool in compensation + 4 Mil a year to Rafa + Rafa's shit load of coaches wages

I haven't heard of half of them

Yeah but what about Mascherano, Xavi (Sissoko), Fabio Aurelio, Arbeloa, Torres. He changed 90% of Houllier's team and yet he managed to compete in EPL and CL.

Yes...one good player a season, plus 10 completely useless players.

Yes...one good player a season, plus 10 completely useless players.

so he should feel right at home at Juve

why you guys are complaining this much about Benitez' transfers ?

Because it's the most parroted topic surrounding the manager. Most of the time people tend to overrate the severity of the issue when in fact most of the large purchases have been a success and the failures have been limited capital expenditure.

Thats sounds better

Doesn't tell the whole story as there have been many smaller transfers in and out who you can't say did particularly well or badly, perhaps the same for some I listed.

Rafa is a God compared to our staff and transfers we had in the past 4 years. I don't know why you make such a big deal out of it...Like we have fused Porto's, Udinese's and Lyon's staff here, getting amazing players.

 

[Dominic]

He tends to really overbuy though. What we need is a few very effective transfers and more outs than ins..

FIFTY SIX players bought and sold? FIFTY SIX? and look at some of the fees paid! even Secco is not that bad.
