Title: Crazy' transfers concern Benitez

'Crazy' transfers concern Benitez
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed his club are struggling to compete in an over-heated summer transfer market.
The Reds paid £17.5m for Portsmouth right-back Glen Johnson, but saw long-term target Gareth Barry opt for Manchester City rather than Anfield.
The Spaniard is also preparing to fend off enquiries for midfield pair Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano.
"The market is now crazy. It is all money, money, money now," he said.
"We had to pay big money. But we were signing a good player, an England player (Johnson), and that is very positive."
Johnson was reportedly tracked by Chelsea and Manchester City, two clubs whose owners have contributed to spiralling transfer fees for top players.
Since he bought the club in 2003, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has supplemented Chelsea's transfer funds with large loans, while City were taken over by the ambitious and wealthy Abu Dhabi United Group in September.
Barry, 28, who came close to joining Liverpool last summer, became the latest big-money arrival at Eastlands as he followed Roque Santa Cruz, Jo, Robinho and Craig Bellamy in an £12m move at the start of June.
"City have signed a lot of good players, but that is no guarantee they will win anything. But it will be interesting to see what happens next season," said Benitez.
Benitez is now bracing himself for big-money bids from La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona for Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano - although he is determined to hang on to the pair and hinted that they owe Liverpool a debt of gratitude.
He said: "I do not think Alonso or Mascherano will go. It is clear that they both are under contract with long-term agreements. That is it.
"There has been a lot of things written, a lot of rumours, but both players are under contract and we have no more need to talk about things.
"They are both very good players and I will be very pleased to keep them. They both have very good contracts.
"We signed them both from different situations. Alonso was coming from Real Sociedad and nobody had really heard much of him outside of Spain, he did well and we renewed his contract because of that.
"Mascherano came from West Ham where he had not been doing well. We brought him here and gave him a good contract, so we are very pleased with them both and that Liverpool has been very good to them."
The summer's most spectacular spending has taken place at Real Madrid, where Benitez spent his early years as a coach.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Raul Albiol have been recruited at a combined cost of about £183m, but the Reds boss warned that building a team through the chequebook is no guarantee of success.
"Things have changed. You have to adapt to a situation. Manchester City and big clubs in Europe are spending big money, so the market has changed and we have to work harder," he added.
"If you spend big it is always easier to perform well. But when you have a good understanding between players, that is also important. If they are together, they work hard, that is just as important." |
:lol: Oh the ironing.
He makes a fair, if not obvious, point, but undermines his point by spending silly money on players himself

Funnily enough, the odds on Ribery going to Liverpool for a huge fee have been slashed. I doubt it'll happen, it's only SSn who are reporting it from what i've heard now. I'd cry if it happens though.

To be fair, I don't really think he is a joke (well, kinda. No, he is.) But I do think with the backing he's got, being allowed to spend much more than most of the league and equivalent to United - a better manager should have won the league by now.
As for the trophies... he's won fuck all in the last three years.
(and for the record, I think Wenger has shown himself to be a joke at times too in the last four years. But never on the level of Benitez)

By that reckoning Wenger is a joke as well. By never signing what we need. You have the excuse of money but that doesn't stand up. He signed Eduardo, Arshavin etc for high prices when we could have spent this money on fixing our defensive frailties.
Before you all start i'm not saying he shouldn't have signed those attacking players. Clearly they are excellent and do improve our side but I just think if he really is on such a limited budget (which im dubious about) then he should improve our weakest areas first.

He's right, the market and transfer fees are crazy. Pretty much everyone agrees with that. I think though the fact that he spends so much time talking about it bores people after a while even when he's got a point. Certainly for me.

He's got more important things to do than moan about transfers to people who don't really care...eating mainly

Just the impression that I get that he tends to do it far more in the public eye than others, and in my opinion where others have more grounds for concern.
Every manager is asked the same questions about transfers every window, just a matter of how you approach it I guess.

I personally wish he'd just talk about our players and give yes/no answers.

No.

No.

Didn't he go completely mental in an interview a couple years ago and do something like that? I can't remember what, will Google it... :unsure:

That's what I'd say too tbh but I suppose someone else might say he's trying to submit a message to your owners or something. That would be insane but possible...
I think there's something there with Real and Alonso (you've got a price in mind but they won't meet it...but they are Real and slightly extravagant) so he doesn't want to be too committal one way or another just yet.
Mr Brighterside - July 10, 2009 07:32 PM (GMT)
his club is a silly amount in debt and still haven't been able to afford to begin building work on their new ground but spent £17.5m on glen johnson and he turns around and has a go at others for spending big?!?!?!? :haha:
benitez is being daft but they are still my second favourite top four team!

Transcript of the Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez when questioned by the Press
Nov 23 2007
by Ian Doyle, Liverpool Daily Post
PRESS: Do you know how much you will have to spend from the American owners in January?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Have you had any assurances you’ll have what you want?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
What about your long-term plan?
RB: My plan is training and coaching the team.
Is there anything upsetting you?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Do you have anything to say?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
It’s clear something is up...
RB: You have my answer.
You’re very different from normal...
RB: You have my answer.
It’s clear that something is up, though. How can you focus on your training and coaching?
RB: I was preparing the training session before this Press conference. So I am always focused on training and coaching.
It’s not always possible, though...
RB: Yes, it is for me.
You said after the story linking you with Bayern Munich you were happy to stay here for a long time, is that still the case?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
We’re not going to tease it out of you, are we? You’re not normally late for a Press conference. You were obviously preoccupied by something...
RB: Because as always I was focusing on the training session.
Is there anything you would like to say?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
You always say you are focused on training and coaching, but you usually give answers to our enquiries, so how come it’s changed suddenly?
RB: Nothing. I’m just focused on training and coaching as always.
You did kind of suggest to the TV people that you were open to possibility of the England job. Is that something we should treat seriously?
RB: It’s your decision. You never know what will happen in the future.
Were you serious when you answered it?
RB: I was serious.
It would be dereliction of our duty not to point out that one day you say you are looking to stay here a long time, then the next day you are saying who knows about England for the future. Isn’t there a contradiction between the two?
RB: The future is the future. Now, as always I am focused on training and coaching my team, so I cannot say anything else. Just to keep preparing for the next game.
You’ve always said you wanted to stay here for years and years and talked about the future here?
RB: That is true.
So, what you’re saying suggests that perhaps the future here is in question?
RB: I am focused on training and coaching my team.
So who knows?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Are you being allowed to do that as you wish?
RB: I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Does everyone associated with the club share that opinion?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team. |
