Well it is the point actually
As I have said before, whatever poor signings United have made in the past it clearly didn't do them a hell of a lot of damage did it?
Benitez's poor signings have done, and many of them are still here and still playing
If you are going to try to draw comparisons with United and Ferguson to try to show Benitez in a good light you will pretty much always be onto a loser.
Better really to consider his own record as it stands, which is 9 South American players, 8 of them shit.

Why are we having this argument again if you've already decided that everything Ferguson does is good because he's winning titles?
You're arguing that Rafa is bad at this and that and when someone then point out that oh mighty Ferguson, whom everyone rates obviously, actually has done worse in that particular area, then you are saying that doesn't matter because Ferguson has won more?
That's brilliant.

I'm not arguing that everything Ferguson does is good. He has made some terrible mistakes in the transfer market. However, it doesn't seem to stop him winning titles year after year after year does it? Managers reputations live or die by what they have won, that's the way it is. So criticising the most successful manager in England over the last 20 years on his transfer record will never get you very far will it?
If Benitez made loads of terrible signings every year but still won the league I'm sure I could come to accept the terrible signings. Except he doesn't does he? He tends to win nothing at all.
