Minhosa Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 When we beat Liverpool to his signature a few years ago, was Rafa their manager? Dalglish Ah. Fair enough How long had Rafa been away when KD turned up? i.e: Do we think he was on Rafa's watch list originally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see where he'd fit in with a Rafa team as he tends to like hard working players and Marveaux gained a bit of a reputation for being lazy under Pardew. That said, I always thought we should have used him more off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd often fail to influence a game but most people would struggle to do that from midfield in a AP side, so I'd forgive him that. Wonder if he might get a bit more game time.......... It's certainly only a positive that we can spring a couple of wildcards on opposition at this stage of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly only a positive that we can spring a couple of wildcards on opposition at this stage of the season. I actually think he's one of those who really does have quality end product. Very decent passer and crosser, and he can finish. The question mark has to be his attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very decent passer and crosser, and he can finish. The question mark has to be his attitude. Yeah. Maybe. He's not exactly had much luck. He wasn't 100% fit when he arrived and then the poor bloke had to deal with; - Treatment overseen by Doctor Death - Pardew as his manager - Carver as his manager - SMc as his manager - Never getting a run of games. He may have a questionable attitude but my point is that if Rafa fancied him at Liverpool then there's a chance Marveaux would have known about it before (I guess they must have been watching him during Rafa's time, knowing his contract would be up) so, if he feels wanted, then perhaps he might be more involved.
