Absolutely baffling article from someone who clearly has no idea. Whay would you even consider writing this stuff? :wacko:

Jose is man to bring the special prize to Anfield

 

Stan Collymore 23/03/2009

 

Stan the man

 

Rafa Benitez has just signed a new five-year contract at Liverpool with orders to bring a maiden Premier League crown to Anfield.

 

As a former Liverpool player I desperately hope Benitez succeeds but I cannot join in the enthusiasm over him.

 

I still have my doubts about the Spaniard. I know he will now have more control over transfer dealing.

 

But the bungling American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett remain in charge of the purse strings.

 

I have long believed that Jose Mourinho is the man for Liverpool.

 

Benitez cannot attract the type of players Mourinho was able to sign at Chelsea.

 

Benitez, in charge since 2004, has only ever recruited one future superstar in Fernando Torres. But he will need six or seven players of Torres' stature to ensure Liverpool are the best team in the country.

And I am not sure enough players like Torres will go to Liverpool while Benitez is there.

 

Mourinho is the true 'Special One' and I am still not convinced Liverpool's players believe Rafa is anything out of the ordinary.

 

Liverpool have recently had fantastic results against Manchester United and Real Madrid.

 

And I fancy them to edge past Chelsea in their big Champions League clash.

 

But losing at Middlesbrough last month has handed the Premier League title to United in all likelihood and it is that kind of inconsistency I believe only Mourinho can rectify.

i think that might be one of the worst major newspaper football articles i've ever read.

 

And that is indeed saying something.

 

Looks like he, Nicholas, Merson and Marwood all took turns to write a line.

We need 6 or 7 more Torres's do we Stan ? All at the bargain price of what ? £140m ? Yes, I think with that kind of Kitty Mourinho could attract top players. Soo too could Donald f*cking duck.

 

Also, in what universe do we need 7 more as good as Torres ? If you gave Fulham 7 players of Nando's level I'd fancy them for the premiership.

 

I rate Mourinho, but that doesn't change the FACT that Rafa currently has Liverpool playing the best football in Europe by any measure you care to name. Now is not the time to be saying he can do any wrong or that any changes shoudl be contemplated.

At least while he was writing that he wasn't stood w*nking in a picnic area. Mind you, reading it again I'm not so sure.

i don't think he wrote it. it reads like it was cobbled together by a spotty 14 year old work experience kid who doesn't like football but was told to sit in front of sky sports news for 8 hours and then throw down 300 words bylined to stanley victor.

He did amuse me last week when he said Man Utd have 14 top lelvel players who will perform in big games, and that was twice as many as Liverpool, Chelsea, Barca or anyone else still in the CL have at their disposal. His list included the entire supposed first eleven plus Tevez, Nani and Fletcher.
