Benetiz gets signing criticism more than Fergie & Wenger cos he signs fairly big and gets it wrong more than right.Wenger worst eleven would be a very cheap 11, bar Jeffers and maybe if you tried to include Reyes and Wiltord.However boths saving grace is that they have brought through a bag of young players for free/next to nothing.Benetiz hasnt brought through not one player.

The criticism Benitez gets isn't on an even keel with Wenger or Ferguson and I think its because his character seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way.He has got some transfer wrong but some signings were blatant stop gaps until he could get better.As for the youth team, its common sense that it takes a few years for you to put your stamp on the club and youth system before you start producing quality players regularly. He sacked a lot of the youth team staff over the summer and brought in a whole new back room team. Wenger didn't even bring through many youth players in his first few seasons.Even still you're starting to see a few coming through like Insua, Kelly and Spearing.

Yes but some of them stop gaps cost a lot of money and he didnt always recoup back that money or work with the player and try improve his game, so its just waste of money and time.I agree, but I'd remind you he found Anelka within a season. Benetiz in regards to his transfer policy always seems to argue that he hasnt had enough money, yet overlooks that he like many other managers could find a gem for smaller fees and I think thats why people have no sympathy for him rather than his character, well in regards to signings at least.

Which stops gaps would you say cost a lot of money?Off the top of my head I'd say he has recouped on most of his transfers. He has had money but in comparison to the only two teams who've won the league since he's been here its nothing. I watched Chelsea the other day and they're bringing on players I forgot they even signed despite them costing £18 million.He didn't sign Anelka, Houllier did and opted to buy *cringes* Diouf instead.
Pennant for near 7m, was the first that sprung to my mind tbh. Liverpool in terms of transfer policy just remind me of Spurs, where you question do these transfers really get thought thru...Zhirkov been injured since he arrived tho.No I meant Wenger found Anelka for Arsenal in his first season.

Yeah I'd agree Pennant was a costly mistake in a way but their were points where it seemed like a good buy like the CL final, his attitude was his downfall and I personally thought after his previous problems he'd see this was his last big chance and knuckle down.I thought he was fit, I seen him in the Carling cup a bit back. But still Aquilani is injured and it affects us hugely for Chelsea a £20 million pound man missing is a minor, I don't even think he'll start.I get you on the Anelka point but that was more like a one off, it normally takes a few years for managers influence on the youth system to produce a steady flow of quality youngsters like for example Man Utd in the early 90's or Arsenal now.

I swear this argument has already been done.And you resorted to name calling to try get your point across.
Nobody was 100% convinced on Pennant recovery, it was a hope, Rafa took a chance and it backfired and thats the thing, to his knockers he must be the gift that keeps on giving... Like you said about Aqualiani, when you spend big it matters more to you than say Chelsea, so why he risked 7m on Pennant just confuses people, especially when you consider his excuse for league failure is spending power.

I know & most Arsenal fans know this, but outsiders try to call him a failed Wenger signing.
