When I look at this logically:
* I think it's safe to say that Damien Comolli
does not have the final say on who we sign. I think that it's beyond reasonable doubt Kenny has that veto.
* I also believe it's safe to say that Damien Comolli
does not have control over any purse strings at Anfield; much less the transfer kitty.
Having accepted that it's very likely that the above are accurate; logic dictates that Damien Comolli can not be blamed for either who Kenny signs or how much the Club is willing to pay.
He
is, however, a very convenient scapegoat for those afraid to come straight out and attack what they really see as Kenny's "bad" signings. Which leads us on...
Surely we have the mental maturity to accept the following:
* Every manager/every Club, since 1885, has had a mixed bag in terms of transfer success. Some players hit the ground running and are an instant hit; some are 'slow burners' and some, for whatever reason, never work out.
Our managers/
our Club is no different in that respect.
* Every manager/every Club, since 1885, has tried to mitigate the chances of failure in the transfer market by either paying big for big names or looking to sign players proven in whichever league the manager/Club operate in but no one 'method' has more success than the other. There is no magic formula by which a manager/a Club can guarantee the success of a new signing.
Our managers/
our Club is no different in that respect.
* None of us, whether we choose to believe it or not, could operate at a better level than every manager/ every Club in the history of football. This is real life not some virtual world played out behind a keyboard or control pad. We have no power over either who the manger/Club signs or how much they pay.
Now, having accepted that these statements hold to be true, one must accept that to apportion blame is futile; to get angry about a player's cost is pointless and to work yourself into a froth about a player we may never sign, for a fee we may never pay - immature.
