He knows nothing this cunt Hansen. Clueless.

Was a great defender but can't even get basic logic right. Going for cheaper players is a direct consequence of having less to spend. He's always had an axe to grind with RB. This is really poor

errr is that a whoosh?
The Sheik was being sarcastic
Don't use that one old chap, it really has been over-done and undermined time and time again, over five years he has had plenty to spend and backed well, it was only recently that the purse strings were tightened. Even then, he still managed to spunk most of £36m up the wall last summer.

As so often, the truth lies somewhere in the middle of this and the argument's been bedevilled by extremism on both sides of it. IMO Rafa's most determined critics never took full account of the real difficulties he's faced, whereas Rafa's most diehard supporters couldn't escape the fact that his use of the money he DID get was too poor too often.
What we all need to do now is pull together in a forward direction. The king is dead, long live the king.
