i beg to differ.
when it comes to team sports, the result of 1+1 does not always
give u the result of 2.
arsenal looked distorted when they sold vieira, but they are now in
champ final with new talents like fabregas.
Oh really? I think they're riding on
their luck as well as their talismatic striker Henry. Like
Liverpool, if Henry leaves Arsenal, they'll be out of top
5.
man utd sacked their inspirational captain, roy keane but they end
the season with 2nd placing.
Fergie has his own way of doing things.
Look at how United coped without Ince(Went to Inter then to
*er-hem* Liverpool), Stam, Beckham and other players? Yes, no doubt
that Keane is inspirational. But his influence is fading as he
reaches retirement. 2nd placing was, honestly speaking, a little
underperformed if u compared the money spent in recent
years.
all teams have certain degree of dependacy on someone/something
like how liverpool rely on stevie at times. after all, we dont call
it a team sport for nothing. try imagine how it is like for chelsea
without roman's money, man utd without freguson/rooney and arsenal
without henry/wenger.
so to say liverpool is a goner without stevie is a harsh statement,
considering that he is a product from liverpool's academy. plus, it
not as if liverpool did not win a single game without
gerrard.
United, without Rooney, can survive. Look at the last EPL match of
the season. They thrased Chalton 4-0. Chelsea will DEFINITELY
perish on earth if one day the russian decides to pull the plug.
Arsenal is nothing without Henry.
Do u think Liverpool can win last year's Champions League and this
year's F.A Cup without Gerrard's massive contributions? Do u think
Rafael Benitez can still sit comfortably in his office in the event
that Gerrard is sold?
Gerrard has, time and again, saved Benitez's ass. Anyway, Benitez
is another Houllier, a spaniard version, only a little better. Pray
hard that he won't spend all of the transfer kitty on failed
spaniards like Josemi and Morientes.
Cheers.
