Rafa didn't sign any players. To be honest managers are no longer responsible for identifying players. They are all identified by the scouts and then the manager just picks one. Or in the case of Steve McClaren the transfer committee does. Steve Bruce has the same scouts.
Nope hence Joelinton and Maximin signed regardless of the manager despite us trying to buy both in January.
He still clearly didn't scout the players. Otherwise we wouldn't be buying the same players now. Its another Rafa myth. The players Pardew bought were down to Carr. The players Rafa bought are down to Nickson. Yet in the eyes of the Rafa Garglers, Rafa has been travelling round the world scouting these players. Its comical how much he has duped our fans.
We signed someone on deadline day today You know what confuses/amuses me? Our fans piss and moan about not getting business done early. They then piss and moan about not signing anyone really late. They don't appear to know what they want. Or they do and they just expect to be signing people all the time from an endless pot of money.
