Why is it a melodramatic moan? Me having an opinion on what I believe could possibly be a wrong move is a melodramatic moan?
So by the same logic does me saying "it would be excellent if we signed this player he would really improve us" mean that I am being overly excited and delusional?
I am just sharing my concerns in the same way the last two weeks I have been sharing my excitement about possible incomings, you choose to solely focus on posts that I make which you consider to be "negative" and then throw around words like "melt" to discard my opinions but the only retort you ever offer is insults and childish behaviour, I did take you off ignore because I thought maybe you might engage in a mature way and that our exchanges were just out of the heat of the moment with us having not signed anybody at the time but clearly that isn't the case.
I am perfectly willing to listen to other perspectives but what you're giving isn't another perspective here, what you're doing is calling me names like we are in a school playground.
I trust Poch as well but I simply asked the question, if they are good enough to be first choice and Trippier was so bad last season, why were they not first choice last season?
You said you trust the boss but yet we have him saying he wants to keep Eriksen and yet in every thread you post that you want Eriksen gone so you're going against what Poch wants?
I said in order to be competitive we have to spend the money required like City and Liverpool do, which we did, with Ndombele and I am happy about that, we backed our manager.
That's a fair point and I agree with you and in that instance we really don't have a choice and I accept that completely.
I just think that if we can keep them, we should and build upon them as we would be weaker without and our biggest issue has been depth more than it has been our starting 11 (barring replacing Dembele which we have now done with Ndombele.)
If only you would take your own advice.
This sort of response just proves my point about you being childish and also proves you aren't interested in a discussion at all.
You just want people you disagree with to stop posting basically, I don't want that, I want to have a discussion, even with people I disagree with and am happy to have my mind changed, as a matter of fact, someone did just make a very valid point about contracts regarding Eriksen and Toby and I agreed with them.
You just flinging insults isn't a discussion and it isn't going to change my mind.
I hope we keep him at the club and sign another player to give him some competition like Lo Celso, that would be the best case scenario imo.
Edwards is a good shout
Yep, can't have too many good players
I doubt whether even Fulham get excited about the idea of Edwards joining them.
Ndombele, Winks, Sissoko, Dier (Wanyama?)
There's still a long way to the pitch if he doesn't even make the bench most match-days, be that Skipp or GKN/Vinny....
Admittedly, formation is everything when considering our CM depth/options.... Time will tell i guess.
Fulham type of player. Bit of swagger
Yup, completely agree with you.
The only reason I can think of for not buying Aarons for £20m is that Poch doesn't want him or they think he should be worth closer to what we paid for Clarke.
I don't agree as I think Aarons is a great fit at a position that is weak this window (and English), but that could be the club's thinking.
I don't agree as I think Aarons is a great fit at a position that is weak this window (and English), but that could be the club's thinking.
I think most clubs see him as a (possibly troubled and) talented kid who has done fuck all so far as a professional footballer, would be a huge gamble for Fulham.
That seems like a logical conclusion to make honestly, I also think he is a good player, better than Trippier at least imo which is an improvement nonetheless.
A bit off topic, but sometimes when i go to insert an image into a post, the image will not insert even when i use the use "insert" dialogue box provided in the task bar at the top of the text box?
Any ideas why?

But is he better than Trippier? Aarons was good in the championship, but he was able to bomb forward there, he won't have that freedom in the Premier League, especially at Norwich.
Whilst we have Aurier and KWP plus Foyth able to play there then we may not look at a replacement at all. I agree Aarons would be a good addition, but I don't think they see it as a priority.
Pre-emptively moaning about "negligence" - It's entirely true to type, that's why....
I'm not gonna repeat myself as I know how dismissive and one-dimensional your stance is.
Never mind all this shite about me being childish and taking me off ignore.... I've had YOU on ignore, yet it's more than evident from the bulk of the replies you receive you're just pissing others off in much the same way.
"I understand this".... Do you fuck? You continue to show NO appreciation for the fact that our activity is largely one joined up process and that our business is a microcosm of the overall market/window... If you did we wouldn't have clashed before and we wouldn't be having this exchange right now.... Similarly don't pretend you've been all sweetness and light since Ndeombele got signed... That's just bollocks and you know it.
"Spend like City"... Or what, I ask, cos that's where we're at?
You'll NEVER get my point over this as all you can see is that we haven't done what you want in the time-frame that you unrealistically insist upon.
Put me back on ignore please... There's a good chap.
