Kuyt, Yossi, Gerrard (and even Torres) did not need new contracts this summer. We could have turned that money into Bent or Kranjcar or Tevez or Elia, or Shawcross, or any number of talents that would have improved our abysmal squad. A squad that Rafa has assembled in about the most insane manner possible. 4 mill buy, sell for 5 mill 2 years later forget about the loss in wages and signing fees and reinvest it in a freebie or a talent so good and cheap they are willing to take a pay cut (or exorbitant unnecessary pay rise) to come to Rafa's team. All the while bemoaning money spent and forgetting the essentials of the premier league; which are speed of thought first, pace second, and technique third, and intelligence is somewhere there. Thats how we got these retards Bren, in case you were actually talking about football instead of just beating up on a new poster (who is bound do be upset like all of us) again...
