I was bored this wednesday, so for some reason I started to think of how terrible a job Ruiz had done last summer. So I thought, I wonder if I can build a starting 11 with the same or less amount of money that he spent on Arizmendi, Zigic, and Fernades, which must be in the territory of about 45 million dollars. So I did, using this site: http://www.betinf.com/spain_transfer.htm

I managed to build a starting 11 for 43 million Euros which also has a combined 49 league goals! Ruiz's three only have a combined 2. The team would have been even cheaper if I had Timo in net and not Ustari. Yes, some of the players I wouldn't necessarily want for Valencia, but some would like great in a Valencia shirt like Keita, Rossi, Angel Lopez Ruano, Ustari and Güiza. Sadly, it really does show how Ruiz has done a terrible job while teams like Villareal and Sevilla really know what they are doing. You don't have to spend stupid amounts of money to get good players. Carboni knew this, but Soler decided to toss him in favour of coaching sub-genius Quique Sanchez Flores.

With 43 Million Euros you can have this team:

I copy the comment i left in your blog

Well, It's easier for you to make that team after watching those players' success in Spain this season. And some of those players became more expensive if a big club as Valencia ask for the price.

But even that it's impossible to do it worse than Ruiz. He spent about 50 millions and he didn't get to add not even one player in the first eleven of Valencia.

Hehehe, I didn't read this. You are taking advantage of knowing how some players worked this year but anyway, it's a good way to show the poor work of this man. Fortunately he leave the team for good.

I know that is was unfair to look backwards, but it was a way to also show that you don't have to spend much to buy good players. The sad thing is that Carboni made some wonderful signings with not much money while Ruiz spent much money and got back little in return, yet Carboni was fired. One of the stupidest decisions, if you can say that Soler thinks things through, was to fire Deo.
