I'm actually a fan of his, but if you deem him good enough for Liverpool or good enough for England, when he's been nowhere near good enough for either big Spanish side, then you clearly have problems judging players. In real life of course, not FM.
Kranjcar signed for Spurs but we didn't have the money, furthermore, who's to say he's what we need? What Rafa wants and if he'd fit into our formation and style? I also like Kranjcar, but we can all throw names out of the hat that Rafa could have bought. I always wondered why we never bought Dani Alves before he was a big name, we could have got him years back for half the price Barca payed for him...
We dont have the money because we sign absolute duds like that big greek fairy for 1.5 million when he adds absolutely nothing to our squad!! Danial Ayala is a better player at the age of 20! You say Saviola never made it at the big spnish clubs ? Our famous Greek centre back wasent wanted at Rangers FFS!!
On your note about Saviola. Ask the Barcelona fans if he was a good player, he got screwed with the EU regulations. He scored plenty of goals for Barca and was only loaned out because they had enough south americans at the club (after signing Ronaldinho). He was also a hit with Seville. And from what ive seen of him in his last 2 games against Everton he is twice the player any of our 'back up' players.
We're not moving forward, it is time for a change.
