it’s not right to insult people because they have different opinions to you?

:kanehand:

I've explained to you maybe five times now why I've insulted you & it has nothing to do with your opinions and everything to do with the way you've expressed your opinions & some of the things you have said to me and others.

There's a reason that out of all the ENIC in people, you find yourself by far the biggest target of insults.

Because I look you dead in the eyes and I kill you.
 
He's three times the player Trossard is you would have to be very ill-informed to think anything else. Or even to judge Bissouma on the sample we have seen under Conte. Its like the folk who would have sold Bale 18 months into his Spurs Career. Or the Madrid fans voting Modric worse signing in Serie A after a season..But folk will knee jerk.
Bissouma had tailed off significantly last season before we signed him while Trossard was scoring hatties at anfield earlier this season, taking into consideration their respective positions it's more than a touch idiotic to claim YB is "three times the player" Trossard is.

There's only one person getting killed in those threads and it isn't me, buddy. A Frenchman hasn't been that peppered since Agincourt, it is brutal for you in there.

It definitely wasn't a 9/10 window even if we try to remove the Conte effect.

CB is one of our weakest areas and all we did was bring Lenglet in on loan who the jury is very much still out on.
RWB a crucial position and we took a punt on a Championship youngster when we need someone for the first XI (Yes Conte should have used him more but who knows how bad it's been in training).

Richarlison, Bissouma and Perisic were good signings. Forster as a back-up keeper was decent but doesn't really have an impact.

Udogie was one for next season.

On paper it was probably a 7/10 but in reality it's been a 3/10. Only Perisic really making a positive contribution so far.

Yes Perisic really made a positive contribution in that City game, just the half dozen mistakes.
 
Bissouma was never a good fit to the way we were set up and also has a whiff of club signing just because they got him for cheaper than the market rate.

If they could punt him on for a £5-10m profit, I doubt they'd hesitate for a second. Some talk of him being offered for exchange I read somewhere.

Good player but I don't think Conte really wanted him. More of an opportunistic signing that could return to form under a new manager. I wouldn't get rid just yet.

He’s the 2nd best CM we have on this roster. Conte or whoever needs to figure it out.

Don’t think you can overlook him getting COVID in Korea.

I don't know if anyone is actually in this venn diagram but if anyone is decrying Woolwich stealing Trossard from us while suggesting we give up on Bissouma, they clearly have never actually watched Brighton play.
 
Conte walks, Kane is sold and the real rebuild starts this summer.

Some of us thought the hiring of Antonio Conte meant we were going to try and push on, spend some money and see if we could win something but Levy&Co decided otherwise.

Interesting. Who would win the argument, 150 people with an IQ of 7 or 7 people with an IQ of 150?

Unfortunately the argument isn’t enhanced by bluster or by numbers so it hasn’t looked so good for you.
 
Thought the Trossard agent quote posted earlier was a fabrication but looks like it's genuine.


My thinking is that we planned to have as many potential deals in the oven as we could manage and then leave it to the last week of the window where we lead every player and his agent on and then in the end try to get the cheapest deal done.
