You’re incapable of a constructive debate aren’t you.

Do you think Benitez has spent well at Newcastle?

I don’t know what he has spent, enlighten me.

I know he broke their transfer record, I don’t really know that much about him either, weird looking fucker who runs about a lot???

As for the debate dig, I’ll debate with people who are worth debating with not people who come here for a bit of attention, you know, the lonely ones.

I didn’t ask what he’d spent I said do you think he’s bought well.
You spend a lot of time talking about Newcastle so you must have an idea.

Well why is it all they can hope for ?
I don’t agree with that. Surely with a manager as great as Rafa they should expect better.

It doesn’t matter who’s in charge you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

The mags are a mediocre premier league club with a moderate budget for the level they’re at.

10th is about as good as it will get for them.

Do I? Again, you’ll need to enlighten me about this.

You’ll need to tell who he has bought and the transfer fee paid, wages, contract length etc, when you’ve done that I’ll give you my opinion on whether I think he’s bought well or not.

One thing I’d expect from a ‘world class manager’ is a winning mentality. He certainly doesn’t show this, it’s just excuses and complaints time after time, add to that belittling the players he wanted to buy.
 
You would presume he must have had guarantees :)lol:) from fellow porker Mike that he will splash the cash. Or he has accepted that he will get relatively little to spend which means he can’t moan like a bitch every week.

I don’t need to do anything I’ve asked you a simple question which you seem incapable of answering.

I’d suggest given you think any manager could keep the mags up with their squad would indicate he’s spent pretty well. He certainly didn’t have Fulham’s budget this season.
 
I think he's doing a half-decent job in keeping them up....nothing more nothing less. What gets me is how his blatant manipulation of fans and media is lapped up without question, witness his "miracle if we stay up" whoppers. They were always going to stay up from the time he started spouting that.

He’s one of the best paid managers in the league. Possibly better paid than a top 6 manager. He can’t do anything wrong in the fans’ eyes. He’s keeping them up which is all Ashley cares about. He gets just about enough money to spend. He’s not going anywhere.

Correct, I’m incapable of answering a question on a subject I have no knowledge on, you’re sharp tonight!

I’d say he’s spent more than Fulham have overall in assembling his team, he has a mid table squad and with him being such a good manager he should be achieving more, he spent a fair chunk of the season fighting relegation again. You keep piping him of though, there’s a reason for it I’m sure.

Now, I have pre Southend drinks to enjoy, early start for the trip down tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll find someone else to feed your attention.

Seemed to have a decent idea of what we spent in the Championship season to form a fewm here

Does Rafa Benitez get criticism from Newcastle fans?

Wonder when/why he stopped paying attention.

There are others of a similar nature fwiw.

I don’t even need to do much for him to unravel himself. I could have saved myself f***ing ages in the past if I knew this already :lol:
