great signing. anyone who thinks he won't adapt to the premiership is just envious
we could have had him a few seasons ago but instead we spent our money elsewhere

who said that? you probably thought sheva was a 'great signing' too, and that those who doubted his ability to adapt to the premiership were envious too?
unless you can show that 'we could have had him a few seasons ago' with a legit source, then your post is just typical 'Oh I hate Rafa but I'll try and hide it' shit.

you getting desperate ltw? trying to compare this lad to sheva is a bit dumb imo.
oh what's a legit source these days? can you prove we were not in for him? there was plenty of speculation at the time and you all know it. if he has gone to chelsea its imo a missed opportunity for us.

Desperate? I thought Torres would struggle in England. I was wrong. I thought Veron would struggle. I was right. I thought Sheva would be shit, I was right. I thought Nani would be fantastic, I was wrong. I thought Ronaldo would be good after watching 'that' friendly (Lisbon/Manure), pity I was right. Fact is, Atleti fans think he's a lazy bastard and that says something because they, unlike you, watch him week in and week out. I won't lie, I like the kid a lot but just because he looks dynamite on your youtube flicks doesn't translate into a 'success' in the Premier League or with a top 4 team in England.
So you have no link whatsoever to your 'we could have had him a few seasons ago' link - but it's just there to say, "Another screw up for Rafa, sign up Steve Bruce'
There was LITTLE SPECULATION - He said he had a soft spot for us after the Champion league final (2005). Big speculation there.
