Rafa Eyes £70mill Spree

Sorry man.  What the F**k are you sorry for?

No you didn't touch a nerve.  How is the National side relevant here?  And I didn't even quote your post for a start.

What country are you from then?

Back on topic.

£70m spree? Where in gods green earth would he get £70m from?

Oh and we spent £70m last season but somehow finished 4th.

Torres - £26m
Mascherano - £17m
Babel - £11m
Lucas - £6m
Benayoun - £5m

Well that's £65m and we probably spent £5m on youth players or near that mark. If Rafa's to spend £70m this summer then I hope he spends it better.

Do you not think he spent his money well last season? Looking back on the deal with Torres and Mascherano, although it would seem alot of money, doesn't it look like a bargain now?

By what i have heard today we will be lucky if we spend £20million let alone 70, even Spurs are given more funds than us. Modric around 16mill and they are now apparently close to a 13mill deal for dos santos. We need money for players like Dos santos and Villa but unfortuantly we have the 2 biggest cu*ts in the world owning us.

i find it funny how some fans are so deluded that they think rafa will have the money to buy players like villa,silva,queresma ect.i know hes trying to offload players to get more money.its just by the time rafa sells the players he wants away most of his number one & two tagets will be in our rival teams!stop dreaming youll only get yourselves upset!

So you are calling fellow reds deluded?! If you look back at last summer we signed Torres, and spent alot of money and also got Masch so why cant we see it as a possibility that we could be interested in players like Villa and Quaresma. The owners said that they would provide money so there is no reason as to why we cant get them players, BUT unfortuanlty the owners have issues and for some reason are not willing to spend at the moment.

if their not willing to spend at the moment how are we going to get them!!?
im just not gettig my hopes up especially if the reports of a 15mil transfer kitty are true.i agree we could get them if we had the money but i dont think we have!

personally i think we wont get 70 mil at the most 50 if we get
20 from owners
7 mil from crouch sell
18ish mil from alonso sell
5ish for pennant
maybe 2 mil for voronin

i think we dnt need a 30 or 40 mil player we needa a few 15 mil players i just hope rafa can make sum good transfers that will bring us the premier league title 

well I want rafa to sign quaresma, david silva, . I wud luv kaka but not a chance. also a world class defender. sum1 like carragher


                                          reina

 degen/arbeloa          carra             agger/skrtel             riise
                 
              mascherano          gerrard             alonso

      qauresma                    TORRES              silva

Agree with that. I think guys like Bentley and Barry (although if its going to be for 20 mill they can F**k off) would be great for us and of course David Silva. If we managed to get those 3 somehow, would make me quite a happy man.

Also add around $5m for Riise who looks almost certain to be heading to Roma.

If Benitez is able to raise £50m from player sales it wouldn't suprise me if the Yanks don't give him any extra.  They are not going to splash the cash if we are so much in the red!  IMO he won't raise anywhere near £50m, more like £30m.

Also add around $5m for Riise who looks almost certain to be heading to Roma.

and some money from carson, finnan, itandje and a few others.

i hope we dont sell riise he's a lej

Why sell finnan? hes doing a fantastic job , solid reliable out standing defender what would it cost to replace him in this stupid money market?.

I think we should sign:

Barry 15m
Villa 20-30m
Joaquin 10m
Silva 20m

Which would leave us with A goalscorer, a great centre midfielder and 2 wingers which we need

i  think alternating babel and kuyt is better than playing quaresma and left back seems like riise's going and compared on this season aurelio is a top notch left back

Mate Degan is a right back, thats three right backs we now have. Seen as Finnan is the oldest one he'll probably be the one to leave because I cant see Rafa selling Arbeloa. Even if Rafa keeps all three right backs one of them is going to be unhappy and one of them will leave, simple as that.

Although I agree that Finnan should stay but now that we have three right backs it seems obivous that one of our right backs aren't in Rafas plans. Maybe even both Finnan and Arbeloa aren't in Rafas plans seen as Rafa went through a period last season of playing Carragher at right back which sort of shows that he might not have been happy with the right backs he had currently.

Point taken IB as you say Finnan is the oldest , but i think he should stay. IRWT.
