I really dont think they were worth that much. 30mil for Ferdinand was insane ! even rooney and carrick were wayyy overpriced, but theres no changing that. Either way, is Micah Richards worth 20mil ?

rooney 20 ferdinand 30 and carrick 16
dont take my word for it, just remember these figures
does it matter how or when he scored 41 goals? the fact is if you look at a book 10 years from now you will see 41 goals maybe more, i dont see why we debating this
there is no doubt in mind though torres is a legend in the making and its a pity he plays with a team who dont attack much because i think he is one of the deadliest finishers i have ever seen
i would love to see what he could if he got more service
no point debating torres vs ronaldo because they play different roles
chalk and cheese

really how many goals have liverpool scored and how many have man united? how many have chelsea? over the entire season?
also do you think a team that draws as much as liverpool should be called attacking?
13 draws? phew you can see they attack and attack
last 2 months liverpool have played some great footie no doubt about it and i hope it continue's but rafa is way to defensive most of the time, torress is chaging that slightly though because he scores some amazing goals and makes it look easy
liverpool must go out thinking we must either win or lose today not ok a draw is a good result, because its not
13 draws = 26 points around 8 loses so couple that with their 4 they could have afforded to lose 12 games and be on about the same points, the mentality should be win or lose like united's
what would fans and owners think about liverpool losing 12 games? be pretty pissed off, yet they think its fine they drew 13 which is the same thing really
now rather than settle for a draw why not try and win, 3 draws = 1 win in 3 games
rafa should look into this and think hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very true

Liverfool have scored more goals than any other EPL team, but NO silverware to show for it. Which plan stakenly means diddlysquat. End of argument and take it to the EPL thread if you want to persist it cashmoney.
Torres is a damn good striker and I would love to have seen him at United. If he would have become the new RVN, is another question.

No he is not worth it and neither was Bosingwa at his £16m odd. But when teams start hearing that Utd have money to spend, all sorts of figures start to fly around. lol

liverpool have also had big wins though hey
i mean 8 against besiktas 6 derby 5 luton 5 against some harwick team if i remember
where is that attacking team every game?
o yes rotated
lets rotate a team that just whipped someone 8-0, hmmm i wonder why we didnt any silverware this season could it be the rotation system?
DUH!!!!!
i still dont think liverpool are attacking, some big wins but some poor draws which im assuming where around champions league time
champions league --> prem for liverpool

i never said they where not good at attacking
i said they are not an attacking team, we have seen what they can do when they actually go out and attack
8-0
6-0
5-2
3-0
etc but where was the attacking team during the 13 draws?
where was that attacking team when they had to beat marsielle to make the cut and then the team came out won 4-0
problems is rotation and alot of the time rafa has a negative game plan and not one that involves whipping teams 8-0 which i think happens by accident and not because rafa said lets go get 8 goals
if liverpool came out in every game and decided ok we going to win or lose but we will attack and try to win, i think they could be challenging for the title
ok this figure may not have been totally accurate just skimmed over it
between the fa cup carling and champs league i counted 52 goals
total games between 20-23 maybe you can show me its more
so in 38 games liverpool manage 67 goals thats not to bad though
they manage 52 goals in lets say 22 games, guess you should look at who they played for all these goals and ask youself why they cannot score so many in the league
why they struggle to 13 draws for a team who could tear apart besiktas 8-0 and derby 6-0

Well said killa
Rafael Benitez has a different philosophy. Everybody was saying arsenal play the best free flowing attacking football but where did that get them?
Rafa doesnt believe in all out attack,he likes to keep things compact and prefers players who fight for the team. His Valencia team was the same and he managed to win 2 titles with them,even though Barca and Madrid were playing great attacking football. The great attacking team that is arsenal drew 11 matches.
You do know that fergie also rotates?the only difference is the media calls it changes...Rafa rotates while other managers make changes

And our changes win trophies....
i'd say 16mil is a good price for Bosingwa. not too high when you look at what price tags Ramos,Eto'o and co. carry.

Ya, it is not too bad. We paid that for Carrick after all...I would pay that for a good player these days really. As ridiculous as it is, that is the way footy is played nowadays...

Ronaldo-12 mil
Carrick-18 mil
Rooney-28 mil
Tevez- will cost at least 20 mil

Hargreaves-18 mill
Anderson-18 mill
Ferdinand-30 mill

IOW, boring yaw footy.
Bwaaahaaahaaahaaaa. Rafa is an idiot. You can never rotate a squad that much. Fergie rotates the team perfectly.
