This "he wasted 7M on Dossena" business irritates the fucking shit out of me. It's the most one-sided, irrational bollocks ever. I've you're going to accuse him of that, are you prepared to wiegh up the other side of the scale too?

20M for Torres. how much is he worth now? didn't City offer 70 fucking million for him?
11.5M on Alonso, sold for three times that.
1.5m on N'gog, how much is he worth now?
6M on Agger. You'd get at least double that now. (£15M)
How much was Insua? And on and on and fuckin on.
What profit did we make on Crouch, Bellamy, etc etc

I don't mind anyone criticising Rafa's purchases, but it's wholly unfair to only focus on one side of the debate.
