But the fact remains that of that group only Herrera is an unqualified success, so far. Saying others aren't doesn't mean that the others are failures.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015-16 Edition
- Thread starter Xaviesta
- Start date
No mention of debt now fergie and winning trophies has gone eh....
A different sort of high than he's used to.
Ok. So it's a fairly empty statement then.
How is it empty? I said we are better positioned to absorb the negative impact of a big money signing that fails to workout whereas they aren't, explaining why last season people here weren't concerned with overpaying on transfer fees. Last year we spent £150m signing a LB, a CB, 2 CMs, a winger cum CM and this season we could get close to that mark again having signed 2 CMs, a winger and a RB all of which tells me that our first spending spree wasn't as successful as we wanted. If Blind and Rojo had worked out we wouldn't be looking at spending the best part of £80m on their positions.
The debt is not an operational matter, it's a capital one and our market capitalisation has grown to levels that make it insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The same people that brought it to finance the takeover now have an option to give up a tiny portion of their stake in the club to make it go away, the fact that they haven't shows that they are comfortable with it.
As for trophies, well we are in the midst of spending ourselves out of a hole we dug ourselves into by spending half a decade shopping in the bargain basement and fecking up the most important succession in football history.
Herrera wasn't an unqualified success. He ended the season well and showed some passion but he had some shockers as well. He was the best signing for sure, but unqualified? Nah.
He had maybe 2 or 3 bad games all season.
And he wasn't motm in the rest. The way people bang on about him you'd think he was Messi. I like him and he was good for us last season, but unqualified success, nope.
Less arguing, more RAWK.
Are you 12?
Truly gone into meltdown tonight - a page of locked threads, for some reason:

What in the hell!. First the latin, then the locked threads. Implosion galore!
That's a real proper meltdown by the North Korean mods
Now this is more like it If the RAWKites themselves won't deliver, then you can always rely on their Stazi mods to help fill the void.
If the RAWKites themselves won't deliver, then you can always rely on their Stazi mods to help fill the void.Wow, that place has gone proper crazy even by its own incredibly high standards.
As much as Blind has his limitations and I have pointed them out a million times in here. He has been a very good signing for us. A real steady Eddie and also an intelligent player who can play many positions. I'm glad he is in the squad but for me we need better quality for our starting 11 but in no way is this guy anything other than a success in his first season.
Luis Alberto thread
This guy thinks that signing Benteke is some sort of smokescreen -- and so the conspiracies start.
Et tu Brentus?
Wait, this is real?
WTF? And of course there are mistakes in the Latin as well. But really, RAWK is a seriously weird place.RAWK Goes into Meltdown 15-16: in memoree of stevie gee
Kim Jong Un would be proud of that thread.
A comment from TLW's RAWK thread
First meltdown of the season is the signing of Benteke then? Strange.He's looking very.. *ahem*.. special these days.
on Fowler's book. Middle of quote disregarded for being vaguely sensible, sandwiched between...
A pound in the 99p store
welcome back RAWK. just when things were getting far too civil and normal, BOOM! Padlock nation.
So true though.I do think Benteke is a good signing though but I expect his price and the pressure the Liverpool fans and media to put on him will have a negative impact on his performances.
The Liverpool way for many years.
