Parky Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's a wank run of results and the players generally haven't been good enough during it. Part of that is down to the manager's signings, selections and in-game decisions. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise, just as it's ridiculous to suggest that he's untouchable - the usual argument made by people who can't understand why he shouldn't be sacked. But you'd have to be an absolute moron not to recognise the fact that the manager (just as others before him) has been severely hampered by the same ownership that's now been strangling the club for over a decade. Add in the prospect of new owners taking the club forward in ways we've not known for a long time and it's basic common sense to stick by a manager that has won multiple honours and knows what he's fucking doing, on and off the pitch. Context. For me it's about 80 percent Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 geordiedean has an axe to grind as he keeps posting that same sentence in different threads. How come not a response from you, deano, about Pulis' record for WBA, which was worse, when you were going on about how he would be doing better than Rafa? Pulis record at WBA was shocking yes and he rightly deserved the sack, anyone no matter who you are if you have that kind of record you deserve the sack...Mourinho,Van Gaal,Ancelotti have all been sacked too for s*** records Rafa takes 1 point from f***ing 27 though and hes absolved of all blame on all counts Yes we are a championship team and f***ed up majorly in the summer because of such tight restraints but the players we did buy are absolute garbage and a complete waste of 30m quid and this lad Kenedy will be no different. Tart it up all you like but 1 point from 27 is a sackable offence imo Has Merino died and I missed it? Or does he just not fit your agenda? 1 out of 6....great Stop deflecting from the fact that your posts read like a daily mail comments section, by only mentioning the facts that support your agenda. For what it's worth: Atsu- perfectly good team player for the money Murphy - really needed proven not potential but the only bright spark out of the bad run. Suspect influence from above on that as potential profit maker Lejeune - yeah not been great. Might come good, who knows. Plenty of players have had horrific 1st seasons and then adapt. De Gea was a joke 1st season, Pogba average. Others - bargain basement that didn't come good. Merino - excellent, wish he'd never got injured. Fairly sure with him and Lascelles fit we wouldn't have tanked. Also bare in mind that you don't sign players in order of need ("we need a forward primarily so we shouldn't consider our other weak positions till we adress this" ?), you try to build a squad with what you think you are going to get. I wonder which of those players he thought "I'm going to be playing him in the majority of games" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Benitez told the Chronicle: “Kenedy was one of the names in the past and we were interested. “We will see if we can do something now. “It’s not a done deal though. “We are trying to bring in what we need and he (Kenedy) is a player that has energy and because of his age that could be fine for us. “But it’s still not done, it’s a conversation at the moment.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tart it up all you like but 1 point from 27 is a sackable offence imo You’ve just said yourself that we’re a Championship team and yet you expect Rafa to be winning games in the PL with it. You’ve just contradicted yourself enormously! We are a championship team simply because we failed in the summer to move on from a championship team to a lower half premier league team. We bought players who have failed at premier league clubs and championship players. We failed to get rid of the s**** that contributed to us getting relegated in the first instance and yet these players still get gametime for us 2 years after that relegation. Im not contradicting myself at all. You mean to tell me that Benitez plays absolutely no part in us failing to get better players than what we bought and its all the fault of the team behind him. I really don't buy that at all after all this is the same Benitez that went to war with Gillet & Hicks over them not letting him sign Gareth Barry to replace Xabi Alonso He has signed these players or do people on here think he was just given them on a plate. Surely to god there were better options out there for the money we spent Murphy 12m.....Lejeune 8m......Joselu. 5m.....Atsu 6m....Manquillo 5m....All f***ing rubbish Money wasted on s**** Were they his first choice players, the players he had lined up for months? It doesn't matter, if you wanted a Maserati but couldn't afford it would you just settle for a clapped out Nova that couldn't move just for the sake of having a car...no The players he bought are no better than the shite that was already here,,,is Joselu any better than Darryl Murphy..no, It is ok to criticise Benitez you know you aren't going to hell for blasphemy for it Choice between walking/getting the bus or having a car of your own to get from a to b any fool would take the clapped out nova.

We needed to add both numbers and quality in the summer. Due to a lack of resources, we managed to add numbers but not the quality. Seems perfectly natural to me.
