RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

How to win an argument, Rawk style:
I don't even bother mate. Honestly.

His question to me was "If he was so good why did you guys fire him?"

I just said 4-1 and walked off.

The only reason we were able to sign Depay:
We didn't push for Depay because we were focusing on securing a striker, seems we're incapable of competency in the transfer market.

He's right. We were in for Depay, but pulled out to focus on a striker after Sturridge got injured again
 
He isn't a mid table player hes now a Red,he plays for a team that I SUPPORT.Had people like you had your way we would have never made signings from mid table clubs,players like Aldridge,Barnes and Beardsley...and god knows what you would have made of Rush and Keegan coming from the lower leagues.

People with negative and blinkered views are never going to have their mindsets changed though.

On Ings

Its 6 times now lads.
 

Even their justification for bad signings in 2015 are based on evidences from the 70s and 80s.

I despair that Van Gaal didn't at least try to buy someone from Aberdeen, now that they're doing so well. We'd do well to unearth a new Gordon Strachan.
 
You know it's an underwhelming signing when even on RAWK they're depressed over this transfer.

:lol: I know, I thought it was an absolute gem of a post, especially when he rounds it off by saying "people with blinkered views are never going to have their mindsets changed" :lol:
 
Sigh. I remember the days of Suarez, Torres and even Morientes (even though he failed to make the impact expected) now it's Danny ings.

I wish him well but my expectations are not high at the moment. I hope he pleasantly surprises us all and he's more of an 1980s signing than a noughties one.

:lol:
 
I think its not with the scousers you'd never know. :D
Didnt find it on rawk, I rarely if ever go there.

This one isn't real but it's still fun. :D

Its so true. He nearly dragged them to a league last year and they have reverted to their usual spot again now that he's gone.

Yeah but Stevie had a great farewell party which Suarez missed. I'm sure he's depressed about it. :lol:
Also.. From Suarez to Ings ( with all due respect to Ings )...
 

Forget Ings himself, comparing 80s signings to one in 2015 is barmy in and of itself.some people on here tried defending Moyes by comparing his record to SAF she he started I admit, they got shot down though.

Yes, the game has moved on to an extent. Unknowns from lower leagues just are not there any more, mainly because of TV coverage and that even league 2 players have agents now, promoting them and pushing them up the ladder to newer clubs, there are very, very few unknown quantities in professional football now.

The telling thing about Ings is that hes a free, and even then not many were in for him. If pool are happy with 7th - 5th place consolidation and europa every year, hes a clever signing, but he is not going to be someone who will push them to challenge for top four. Given the amount of money it would take to do that, it may be that fenway is actually going this route, which whilst not going to make fans happy, is probably sensible.

True, and the standard has increased with the amount of foreign players here, so its harder for a plucky lower league player to make such an impact I'd say. Ings is probably just gonna be a rotation option, which might mean he actually plays most games is Sturridge doesn't overcome his injury problems.
 
Are we not counting ex-Halifax, ex-Fleetwood, Jamie Vardy of Leicester City & England for proving the unknown ---> top player progression is still possible?
 
There's more...

"I fecking hate Barcelona and all they stand for. I admit it. I’m hugely jealous of the whole Barcelona circus.
Ahh…that feels better already.
That was all that I could think about. The whole fecking world is in love with Barcelona when they should all be madly in love with Liverpool.
We are not a feeder club. We are not a stepping stone to greater things. We are the arrival point for any player . The fact that they can’t see it yet is not the point!"
 
I am buzzing actually with these value for money signings. Milner is proven world - class and Ings is one of the hottest English prospects. Both we got for what? Almost free! Now we can splash out & throw money at bigger names without worry.

:lol:
