For me this is the crucial nuance that many on here seem to be missing in their thought process.

Accepting that you probably won't be a regular starter initially splits (albeit crudely) as you say into two groups - those determined to get into the regular starters, and those happy to sit and take their money each week and just play if called upon. If VdV (for example) is in the former group, and hence happy for us to also sign Tapsoba, then great. But we shouldn't be assuming anything about the personal thoughts of an individual who we know next to nothing about.

But still you are saying we won't get both because they dont want to sit on the bench??

Over and out

Did anybody watch football last season?

Did people not see how Pep finally managed to win a CL with City, by playing 3 and sometimes four cb's in a back four and ruthlessly turn over possession again, and again, and again. Size, physicality, technique. Dan Burn at lb for Newcastle. Ben White at rb for Woolwich. You're selling yourself short with any squad build that doesn't give you the option of playing like this in the coming season.

I believe its why Postecoglou has taken one look at adolescent girls like Locelso and Reguilon and told them to move on.

I've not said that at all. I've said many times that if both are happy with their expected role, and hence both sign, then that's great.

(Not sure what 'over and out' means, but if it means that you have nothing further to say on the topic, then forgive me if I'm sceptical, but I doubt that - however if it's true then that's also great, and thanks for letting me know).

Not really - it's just a typical example of a 'contract' isn't it? :/

Btw I don't use Twitter myself - is it actually anything more than stupid people saying stupid things without any encouragement to use the very context that might help them to recognise the stupidity of what they are writing?

I don't use it either, it's a cess pit.

I actually hope that Musk runs it into the ground. Trouble is, another will pop up and take up the cess pit baton.

- Totally correct!
- Over and out meant that sometimes you just have to realise it's not worth the battle, i did!

Twitter is the news feed of the world. Like it or not.
People say mean things but if you can get past that, there’s good info on the platform
