Well Heskey at £5.5 million and Bellamy at £6 million - I know who i would be choosing.
Heskey is far more proven than Bellamy will ever be.
The beauty with Rafa is that he does not have to buy READY MADE stars.
He has taken the likes of Alonso, Crouch and Garcia and moulded them into much better players.
Crouch is no better than he was when he arrived. I remember him back at Villa 2 or 3 years ago, and he looked better than he has anytime at Liverpool so far. The fact you're trying to paint Crouch as a success when he was nothing other than a universal joke last season (his pathetic goal tally will attest to that), and didn't perform to a standard you'd expect from a 7 million pound striker.
Alonso is no better than he was in Spain. And Garcia has scarcely improved, he was more of a bench player than anything last season for Liverpool.
But no by all means Rafa has taken these no-names and turned them into worldwide superstars.
Its not about what Bellamy has done in the past, its all about what he is going to do in the future.
I am sure Rafa will be able to get the best out of Bellamy.
No.
As for Trezeguet we will proably get him on a season long loan anyway.
I do not think we are obsessed with Chelsea it is merely that they are the benchmark when it comes to buying players etc. For the time being they are the team with all the money.
