A window?Some sneaky so & so's on here. 2 can play that game! What invention helps you see through walls?
Don't worry guys just wait another two season until our next loan signing!
That's OK, it's just I'll be @ing you everytime someone spouts anything a bit dodgy in future and you can sort them out too...
Correct. Which is a very fitting answer for this thread.
Ha feel free. It was done to me a few times first. Cries of "How do you know that's true, were you there". If we are going down that route, we can't just do it for things that paint the club in a good light.
Firstly, I’ve never been a huge fan of the pure, one dimensional 9, even when they are really good pure, one dimensional 9’s.
Secondly, I’ve not seen enough of Piatek to really say whether he’s a really good pure 9, or a player who’s had a purple patch.
Based on what I have seen, he doesn’t float my boat
In general, I’d much rather we targeted a player who is more versatile, can play striker and as a wide forward or AM, or a striker who offers more than just a box presence, one who can replicate what Kane does - even if not to the same standard - hold up, press, bring other players in etc.
Forgiven for what exactly?
Yes. A glass window. Congratulations.
No prizes on offer though.
Cheapskate!!!!I just don't agree with most of the stuff said about him. You don't have to spell it out, but briefly, what's your hatred all about?
- Flirting with other clubs in the press.
- Weak, uncommitted performances.
- I also suspect (note use of that word!) that he led the club on regarding signing a new deal before last summer.... (remember his dinner date with Poch?).
That's what I've been saying here, I'm not sure if he's the type we really need. If Kane comes back he's gonna struggle to find time in starting 11, as he can't play wide or at 10. But as a pure 9 he's really decent option, not a purple patch, it's three clubs in a row in which he did well. I'm not Mou, I bet he knows all that has been said here. Only he knows also, how he'd be utilised when Kane comes back. Maybe 2 strikers? Instead of Dele's unstable form it could be Piatek running into spaces.
I'm fairly certain Airfixx would beg to differ here.
Why are you doing this?
Summer 2019 was the summer TW for Season 2019-2020 and thus the summer TW for THIS season. Summer 2018 was the summer TW for Season 2018-2019 and thus the summer TW for LAST season. And that is the context in which I was using it. You should appreciate it as it's logical...maybe not chronological[ly precise] but since the seasons span two calendar years it makes sense because it affects/affected this season and summer 2020 does not. Forgive me if I continue to utilize this method of reference.
You shouldn't presume to know what others would do as we cannot know that information. I would have celebrated getting 80M for CE last summer...or any summer if you want to get persnickety about it.
(please lord let me have all my Is crossed and my Ts dotted lest Airfixx pull me up again on some minor technicality that has little to do with my point)
I've already acknowledged we're in fact on the same page. Just pointing out where my confusion lay.......
Also, I hadn't implied you were 'levy-out'.
"Why are you doing this"?
Maybe like a Marcus Thuram then...he of the very cheap xfer from the very early doomed Guingamp (who also had The Dong BTW). Shame we didn't have a look but considering how low-profile Lilian Thuram's son must be one can understand and forgive the oversight.
Still firmly believe either the club or Poch didn't want actual competition for Harry. All we ever got was
Five
's boy FVJ. That was no competition at all.
So what are you taking the piss for about strengthening in January
