Those above you deemed not good enough are still young enough to develop their game to become good enough. There is only 2 players on that list that start regularly though. Wash N'gog is starting to become a good striker and would suit a regular spot in a Championship side. The other 2 we've not seen enough of to pass comment.

I would love to know exactly how much Rafa has spent while he has been there. It said in the paper yesterday he has signed over 90 players. (It was The Mirror though).

The fact that we had to sell £80m of player to make a profit is disturbing, and has come at a convenient time for the Glazer's when they are trying to work up this bond issue thing. Include that transfer and you have £40m profit instead of £40m loss, suddenly looks more appealing to investors, although surely they aren't that thick to believe it?
And £36m received up front for next seasons sponsorship
Don't suggest they've not backed him. His decisions re. signings are awful. Bar Reina and Torres who were hardly difficult to pick as being quality, none of his other signings have made the grade.
Surely you cannot defend the failure he has become? If all the signings he'd made were doing well, like you can say for David Moyes or Alex McLeish or O'Neill for example then people would agree with you. But I bet Rafa has spent well over £100m on utter rubbish.
Failure? one bad season in his whole reign makes him a failure?

No, failure to win the Premier League despite stating it as your goal for the best part of a decade makes him a failure.
Lets face it, Rafa is a fraud. The Champions League win was a total fluke but the much more difficult challenge of winning the Premier League is way beyond him. Hundreds of millions of pounds spent on players whilst only selling one against his will can hardly be a source for sympathy for him.

I don't buy the owners are to blame for Liverpool. They sanctioned big tranfers this summer in Johnson and Aquilani. I suppose the old "net spend" argument that Liverpool fans are so obbsessed about will rear it's ugly head.
United's current form is not down to the owners, it's down to the management and the players. Scouse fans need to realise that it's the same scenario with their club. Liverpool have one of the most expensive squads in the premier league and are under peforming. If some fans want to bury their head in the sand and blame the owners, good luck to them.
