Is a squad player. Smicer's probably out for the whole season. Many think
Smicer's crap anyway, but I think he doesn't fit a defensive approach. Still
fine as a squad player, but he needs to be replaced.

Nunez, I was worried about. Please, God let him not be a Spanish Cheyrou.
Thing is he was never going to get a game at Real over Figo though.

>and Garcia were bench warmers

I thought Garcia played for Barca well last season?

>if they're not good enough for Real Madrid and Barca why  are they good

enough for Liverpool?

You can't always say that. Don't forget, Vieira and Henry weren't good
enough for Milan and Juve. Yes, I know you'll say they had Wenger, but
Benitez lost Mendieta and Lopez, and then under him Baraja, Vincente and
Aimar developed.

well abroad as English

Eh. They have a Spanish coach and Spanish teammates.

Come on, he's not as bad as Van Gaal.
