[InterFCAustin]

Nobody can be Jose Mourinho

 

[InterawyDC]

what are you serious, this is a list of players rafa signed from OTHER TEAMS. i can also give u the amounts they cost and where they came from if you want. u get ur info right

I really don't have time for this, and I'm not trying to be antagonistic. But just to prove a point

The following players graduated from the Academy:

Jay Searing - Liverpool Academy.
Martin Kelly - Liverpool Academy.
Paul Willis - Liverpool Academy.
Calum Woods - Liverpool Academy.
Steve Irwin - Liverpool Academy.
Danny O'Donnell - Liverpool Academy.
Marvin Pourie - Liverpool Academy.
Robbie Threlfall - Liverpool Academy.
Gary Mackay Stevens - Liverpool Academy.
Lee Peltier - Liverpool Academy.
Danny Guthrie - Liverpool Academy.
Adam Hammill - Liverpool Academy.
Craig Lindfield - Liverpool Academy.
Steven Darby - Liverpool Academy.
Hakan Duyan - Liverpool Academy.

The following were signed for the reserves and youth teams at the age listed:

Alex Cooper - 16 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Martin Hansen - 16 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Ronald Huth - 17 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Ryan Flynn - 17 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Lauri Dalla Valle - 16 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Nikola Saric - 17 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Daniel Pacheco - 17 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.
Jack Hobbs - 16 year old Liverpool reserves/youth.

And just for shits and giggles:

Mark Smyth - Signed in 2002, 2 full years before Rafa joined.
Mihail Aleksandrov - Never played for Liverpool. He played CSKA Sofia and Borussia Dortmund.
Vita Flora - Signed for free.

Please dont even bother...many people here just tell lies.

Now, where exactly, did I lie?

Finally yes, technically many of the youth and reserves players were actually signed under Rafa. Do you have any idea how many players do youth teams all over Europe go through each year? Furthermore are you actually holding him accountable for each one of those youth signings that are scouted, approached and largely signed by the head youth scouts?

Based on the alternatives, he is a good replacement for Mourinho. Certainly better than Zac and Cuper, coaches much less qualified but have nonetheless managed Inter.

wrong topic guys.

Rafa was close to catastrophic with his transfers at Liverpool.
Out of almost a hundred transfers, only a couple proved to be good:
Torres - Everyone already knew about him, problem was to get him
Mascherano, Kuyt, Xabi and Reina - Good investment, and to an extent, Benayoun too, though i don't rate him much personally...

But the millions spent on Babel, Keane, N'Gog, Johnson, Aquilani, Bellamy, Pennant, Dossena etc etc. are extremely crap and unforgivable for a manager and club of their caliber.

Surely the 50 Million Euros spent on Quaresma, Mancini and Muntari are also unforgivable, no?

 

[K.I.]

Rafa is a good manager, he may be a bit crazy when it comes to transfers but his record speaks for itself...and with Liverpool he hasnt done that bad, he got them as close as they can get to the league with the squad he had, 2 CL finals, one CL win....as i said not bad.

 

[Lo_Zio]

Rafa isn't for me, but I'd rather him than Mihajlovic - that guy's human garbage.

Made up for with the signings of lucio,motta,milito,sneijder and eto'o. Mou in his two seasons has more positive signings than poor ones, benitez is the opposite.

The squad he build. If he hadn't wasted most of his transfer money on players who never worked out he would be closer.

 

[K.I.]

Thats true stef but everybody makes mistakes, and some of the players that he got and failed werent really his fault, some just sucked, it was the boards fault that gave him to much money for transfers anyways, the management up there is in shambles and right now the club is for sale, thats why its always good to have a transfer consultant work with the manager on signings, in England they have way to much freedom the managers. With us he wont have the same freedom as he had over there.

Anyways thats all speculation, i dont want Jose to leave but if that happens Rafa is definately a good option along with Blanc.

 

[Antonio2810]

Rafa isn't for me, but I'd rather him than Mihajlovic - that guy's human garbage.

agree...

and why is mihajlovic always trying to imitate mancini with that gay scarf knot??
someone is in love i think...:yuck::yuck:

 

[Lisa]

Capello would not come, because he was the coach of AC milan. He would not betray AC milan. Just like Jose, he would never coach AC milan.

 

[InterawyDC]

So here's why out of the names mentioned in the poll I'm for Benitez.

Capello is a great coach, his record speaks for itself but I can't bring myself to support him considering the teams he's coached in the past.

Blanc, I like because of the former Inter player factor, and his affinity for Inter over the years, but also because he has been successful in France. True not enough success to warrant Inter but success nonetheless. So it would be kind of a risk.

Prandelli, overrated.

Mihajlovic, garbage.

To be honest, I'm sick of changing coaches, I hate team prostitutes (this is not meant as a dig at Mou) I want a manager that will be part of the club not an employee on a temporary basis. Someone who gets Inter, who will be committed to it and who will stay for a long time, someone who will become a symbol.

I wish Mou would be that guy but hey...

EDIT: I forgot to say I wouldn't mind Hiddink. But he's one of those team prostitutes so I don't know if he'll stay for long.

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

No no and no to Capello from me

 

[Alessandro]

agree...

and why is mihajlovic always trying to imitate mancini with that gay scarf knot??

That is a pretty standard way to tie a scarf... Very Common.

Actually today there is a exclusive news on China Biggest Sports newspaper-TITAN.
The journalist called Frank Rijkaard to ask him about it. At first, he said, if I have a chance, why would I refuse? Then, he has been told the news would only be written in Chinese, he said"yes, someone has offered me this, but I am still thinking about it.".

According to my opinion, this news is true, TITAN sports newspaper has a very good reputation.

Rijkaard will never coach Inter. Through and through a Bilanista.

That is why it is exclusive.
You dont need to believe that, but for me, the exclusive news on TITAN means that it is true.
