Priceless - you seem to have obliterated from your memory (I fully understand why) the half season with Slimani on the bench and Joselu leading the line before Rondon arrived (sharpish my arse)
So Mitrovic was replaced by Slimani not Rondon
Just what was Rafas legacy in terms of strikers - after 3 seasons in charge just what did he leave us with?
Silly comments like this need to he challenged, otherwise the dimwits on here will think there's something in it.
Benitez replaced hothead Mitrovic with Rondon sharpish, with a view to a permanent transfer. That's his right, as manager. It was generally accepted Rondon was a far superior centre forward to Mitrovic, in all aspects of his game, at whichever level. The fact that Rondon was not signed permanently was not Benitez's fault, and sounds like it was one of the tipping points for his departure.
Bowen is not a centre forward, so comparing his goal scoring record to Mitrovic's is unfair. However, the fact Bowen is only two behind kind of casts him in an even better light for me. (Only in comparison to Mitrovic, I know very little else about him).
Rafa bashing to try and be different, you gotta love it
You challenged my 'silly comment' with a load of made up shite
Well done
This...

If you can back any of this up with proven facts I'll give you a lovely big like...

"Proven facts"
Rather than be a smart arse tonight, can I defer until tomorrow? 2 hours ahead of you, in Cape Town and going to the Cricket in a few hours
Aye proven facts - it's the least I would expect when challenging someone's silly opinion
Have fun[/QUOTE
I asked to defer about it because if where I am
You want to be a **** about it, crack on.
You really are struggling with this thread aren't you
Again - have fun
