Have to disagree totally there, Benitez has spent more than any other manger in past 4 years bar Man City, has brought no youngsters through. Last home grown talent was Steven Gerrard in 1998. He has been riding that CL win in 2005 far to long and bought some shit players, and curretnly has a shit sqaud, he drove Alonso out so whose fault is it hes gone

Benitez's he tried off loading him last year so he could buy Barry, do you blame Alonso ? he wasnt wanted.
Not from what I've read;, the thing with Alonso is that he wanted to Join Madrid and didn't want to stay in Liverpool for quite some time now (i.e Madrid made him charm for a long time now, too); The move with Barry was because he wanted to go so that was a good timing to switch things... We know the rest, Barry went to City and Alonso always wanted to go to Madrid, we've have had a couple of articles about that situation here.
For the rest, Liverpool has always a competitive team for the past 5 years, won the CL in 2005, almost won the England premiereship last year (one damn victory away), that is not bad indeed for a team who,s in a very thin bottleneck with the ownership problem, money problem and the rest. Sure, I wish it was better, but to me, Benitez is not the real problem over here.
