Bombonera Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm still not sure about Henderson. I just don't really know what he offers us that the other midfielders don't. Adam, Downing, and Lucas all looked very good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select_screen_name: Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Have any of Rafas free transfers been useful? Only reasonable one was Fabio Aurelio and he's a bit of a joke. He's appeared in 85 (probably some sub appearances boosted that up), out of 190 possible Premier league games he's been here. When you break it down, he's probably picking up close to 90k a game he appears in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaave Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume rafa made his free transfer decisions based purely on choice and not because his hand was forced by skint owners consantly pulling the purse strings out from under him.

benkeat Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Even so, Degen was a bad signing by any standards. Kelly was there, even Darby would have been better. The rest I can sort of understand, but that one was total sh*te. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select_screen_name: Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Maxi Rodriguez. It's unclear weather he was free. Many sources say he was £1.5m Anyway, he's been pretty useless apart from the purple patch the back end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkeat Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm pretty sure Kelly made his debut the year we signed Degen? If not it was a year later, tops. Darby would have been 19/20.

Not a good player really but Degen is so bad either would have been preferably, if not ideal/ready. Making a debut doesnt mean you're ready to be the clubs 2nd choice RB. Also I'm pretty sure he still played CB then anyway. Darby isnt ready for us NOW so he sure as hell wouldn't have been good enough then, it's easy enough to say Degen was a bad signing now when you've seen him play and Kelly has come through but at the time I'm certain not many people would have said lets stick with Darby and Kelly as our back up for the season.

We didn't have access to the scouting reports and football knowledge Rafa and his team had. I would have hoped he would have been able to see that regardless of how mediocre Darby was, and green Kelly was, Degen would be worse. He is simply an absolutely calamitous defender. The worst we've had in all my time watching the club. But a bit of a pointless discussion anyway. He had his hands tied when it comes to transfers and i'm a pretty big fan of his buying and selling. This one was just an inexplicable anomaly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
