Benitez is a fat whopper

[longers]

I skimmed through the interview and didn't hear anything particularly outrageous from him, one comment seemed to suggest he wasn't expecting to only have 1.5 million transfer budget

 

[Milkman]

More so if we hadn't hired Benitez and had gone for a proper manager instead of a space hopper.

We'd most likely have been in the same position unless the other manager replaced the whole squad for the £1.5m Benitez was given

Tbf, I'd rather have kept James than get Gray for that £1.5m.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

I dont think they did actually, he wasnt bothered one bit by them, it was the players they runined, which caused the downward spiral in results

Yeah the players
Have we brought james rodriguez back yet, as he was hounded out back that 'fat mess'

 

[Aberblue]

Would've been interesting to see how things had panned out if we didn't hit that insane injury crisis

Yes, imagine if we were without, say, Pickford, Mina, Holgate, Godfrey, Townsend, and DCL. We'd be in deep doo-doo.

I don't remember us having Coady, Tarkowski and Maupay available last year

Frank and Kev did well didn't they?

Would you advocate taking Benitez back to work with the current day squad?

Exactly.

He came in and turfed James out.
He blocked the Nunes deal.
He sold Digne to fund 2 fullbacks (weren't a priority) for £30million.
Brought in 8 players.

Lampard had to sell Richy for £50-60mill and brought in 8 players.

Income and outgoing on transfermarket say
£20mill net for Lamps
£5mill net for Fatty

 

[Milkman]

Frank and Kev did well didn't they?

Yeah, no doubt about that. But they also had money to spend after Richarlison. Benitez had Brands and a very eager to help Moshiri to work with.

All the manager would’ve had to do was keep us semi-competent at defending set pieces and he’d have already accrued 5-8 points more than Benitez managed.

 

[Yarrgh]

Yeah, no doubt about that. But they also had money to spend after Richarlison. Benitez had Brands and a very eager to help Moshiri to work with.

To be honest, I'm just here to take pops at the fsw.

 

[Milkman]

Would you advocate taking Benitez back to work with the current day squad?

No, I'd like Lampard thanks. I would've liked Benitez to have had the same squad too

 

[Noble Savage]

Don`t worry, I`m sure he`ll still let you wash his car at the weekends.

Is he still in the area? If he moves to Leicester, I wonder if Sky start spouting " but, but, but, but he's local". I never got that argument.

I hadn't noticed mate
