We know all players are not cut out for the premiership, so ask yourself the following questions: 1) Did Liverpool win champions league title in Rafa's first full season? 2) Did we reduce the gap that chelsea ranaway with? 3) Did we finish only 1 point behind Man utd and way above Arsenal with our highest points total for 2005/2005? And this with ALL the poor signings????!!!!!!!!! Lots of negative comments on Rafa’s purchases. We know all players are not cut out for the premiership, so ask yourself the following questions:

Even Nando shocked virtually every observer when he failed at Anfield! Darren, thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately my football viewing tends to be myopic at best. I watch Liverpool, Northern Ireland, and whichever bits of the Premiership or European games happen to be on, so Spanish football outside the likes of Barca and Real is something of a mystery to me. Still, in Rafa we trust! Alan, two names, Alonso and Garcia - not all Spaniards have been bad. Even Nando shocked virtually every observer when he failed at Anfield!

Palletta, Aurelio, Alves - three more Josemi's please. I can't believe you only just shifted Cheyrou as well, I thought he left ages ago!

Paletta will be one for the future, much like Agger...and perhaps Palletta will not be in the first 11 right away. Try watching Spanish football now and again and you might get to know something about the signings Rafa makes ;-) Nice article, but let it be known that you can be sure these new signings will be great ones for Liverpool.
