Speaking of transfers, BR is somewhat struggling to get big names to play for him.
" What about Balotelli???"
Balotelli is a BIG name indeed, often times he is famous for the wrong reasons. Of course, being a starting 11 in the Italian national side, he does qualify as a big name although the transfer fee does not justify his reputation, but can't help but to think that there are other factors in play. Is AC Milan in serious debt? Is AC Milan in a hurry to offload this problematic high profile striker? Balo is a genuine talent no doubt it, but he needs a team that can complement his style of play to maximise his efficiency. IF you are expecting him to drop deep and collect the ball and terrorize the flanks like Suarez or Sturridge, you will be disappointed for sure. His style is somewhat like Torres if I may.
Back to the point of transfers, ask yourself, who are the players that has really emerges from the shadows under BR's tutelage? Only Sterling, and Sturridge perhaps. I like to put Coutinho in, but he is blowing hot and cold at the moment. White Cafu? He had a good season, but still it's premature to call him a world class player. The rest are either mediocre (Xavi, Luis Alberto, Ilori, Aspas, Assaidi, Borini), not given a chance (Suso) or not living up to their reputations.(Mignolet, Sakho). On a side note, Martin Kelly is growing leaps and bound in Crystal Palace. Talk about what a breath of fresh air!
And everytime I read about Dusan Tadic, I feel like crying. This guy only cost 10mil to Soto and we splashed 20mil for Markovic. Both also Serbs. One is settling in nicely and the other is still looking disjointed. Scouts, try and answer this.
Some say the monstrosity of Suarez must be credited to BR. I totally object to this. He is already beasting in the Dutch League and WC before he joined us. As a matter of fact, I believe that a monster player like Suarez indirectly galvanized the entire team last season more than the manager himself. Think about the first 5 games we played without him on the side and think about the games he played in, and you see how different it is. That notion is not wrong.
Like I said, this season will be a litmus test for BR's credentials. He has been thrown all the support and time he needs in Liverpool and now it is the time to DELIVER the promises. And one more thing, giving good post and pre match interviews doesn't mean one is a great manager. It just shows one is good in English and nothing more than that. Mourinho says the darnest things, but as a manager, he is truly unbelievable.
