I can't claim to be innocent mate, I've made money from investing in this shit.

It's counter productive because my grandchildren etc will suffer from the growth of the Chinese economy.

I can give them an inheritance but not a stake in the future .... it concerns me tbh.

Thanks for the inadvertent admission that Rafa's transfer policy and signing have, by and large, been shit.

Wasn't in the list of teams I was permitted to choose from.

What about Shelvey, the lad you all insisted should have been at the World Cup last summer. Then there’s Rafa’s big buys of Muto, Atsu, Murphy, Gayle and Richie.

Along with Shelvey, that’s got to be over £60m’s worth of ‘talent’, or are you implying that Rafa’s big money buys aren’t good enough to improve other teams at the bottom of the division?

No, I’m not.

Binxy said:
O.k we'll substitute Muto for Mitro.
Must have been about 4 year ago when you signed him.

Look the point I'm making is Rafa (Newcastle) spent similar amounts on players as the ones you mentioned.

Isn't Rafa supposedly a world class manager? Surely he can pick up good players for reasonably modest fees and get improvement out of them.

Being a good coach doesn't necessarily equate to ability in the transfer market. And if you stack Benitez' signing against other managers in the top flight you'll see similar hit/miss rates on transfers. For every Murphy there's a Dubravka.

If that's the case he should have signed at least 5 good players by now...

Can you name them?

f***ing hell they've got another group on the go, nufctrust.co.uk , is this the the Judean Peoples Popular Front, or the Judean Popular Peoples Front in disguise. Pretty soon each individual fan will have his/her own personal protest group, divide and conquer?

Dubravka
Schar
Fernandez
Lejeune
Ritchie.

I don’t particularly rate Benitez but the 5 above are ‘good players’

So why do you complain about the spending then?

Sima said:
Is this the part where players are named and you laugh at them?

Nope was an honest question, not that I expected you or Fish to answer without answering it with another question which you have.

He's included Dubrav-Camp so we're laughing already tbh.
