Wasn't having a go at you tbf. Was even sticking up for the Negative Norrises and Nancy's.

Just don't think this window has been as bad as some wanna make out at the moment.

I tried reading the ENIC thread earlier - makes your post seem like it was written by a cheerleader in comparison!
Good man.

Fair play to you & Ionman34 Ionman34 for expressing your opinion on my opinion in a balanced, respectful manner. All I'm asking.
 
I'm giving an opinion you do not agree with = I obviously got an agenda.

Gotcha!
That wasn’t it at all. I already pointed out things I agreed with and things you clearly exaggerated and spun as negative because you were having a bad day and wanted to vent or whatever the reason.

It wasn’t your best post; I’ve seen many good ones.

There were much much worse posts on here today but I took the effort to respond to yours because you are reasonable.

I don't even think they're that well tooled up 🤣🤣

Bark worse than their bite and all.

To be honest that's what the forum should be is good honest debate without it resulting in the personal slagging, bitching and moaning that often goes on.

Have a difference of opinion, a joke about it and move on. We all support the same team, we just express it in different ways at times.

Fair enough, my man.

Your reply ain't the one that angered me most tbh, so I apologize if my previous reply to you was a bit ott.

To summarize, I'm happy with the big fella being in charge, though yeah I'd have preferred Nagelsmann. But as I've said many times before, I'll back him til the end and hope he betters Poch. Vicario & Madds, I can't wait to see in action cause it'll be very often fun/sometimes frustrating/never boring. Solomon too, hope he can replicate his Fulham form over a whole season here...wait and see. Porro I'll be patient, he's earned it.

But yeah, I wouldn't have signed Kulu on a permanent, even for 25 mil. Do I hope he makes me eat my words? Yes.

And I think we should all be pissed off at the CB situation cause that just ain't on at all.

Good lad. I'm going to bed on a sweeter note cause of that post.

I was blunt to be fair.

And it can be done, mate.
I'm sure you and I have disagreed in the past without resorting to personal insults or slurs.
 
Voice of reason. Could not agree more.

Thank you for being a balanced poster.
bollocks. Acting all smarmy and holier than thou just cos you've rationalized yourself into accepting a less than ideal situation.

We should have had at least one proper CB ready before the preseason tour. There's just no excusing it, we've been through the same song and dance with both Skriniar and Bastoni in recent memory. Our defensive situation has only become more serious.

What you and the other guy posted isn't "balanced" or "voice of reason", there's no reasoning at all, it's just it's faith that everything will work out in the end.

I do believe we will end up with a CB by the end of the window, but given dire need, it's already a partial failure that the new CB wasn't on that plane. That can't be undone.

Ooo not sure I've ever been 'the other guy'. I feel naughty.

I'd expect nothing less than smarmy and self important from the guy who has brought us gems such as this before

Haha

I think I said the other day that I don’t understand why Parisians have a bad reputation but the minute I leave île de France everyone is nice (except drivers in Marseille).

That being said, I think on a global level I am rude, arrogant and dismissive. But I’m also smart, liberal, stylish and cultured, so it’s not all bad.

A less than ideal situation is also known as « reality ». All clubs experience this. Last year our signings were in unusually early and…

So yes, the melting is unwarranted. What we need is talented players to come in and play. I don’t know what negative effects you think will flow from this?

The tour is a good opportunity to build team togetherness and learn what the coach wants, no doubt. But it’s not some fatal blow to our season. Whichever young defender comes in will need time to adjust to the country and the league regardless of when they come. By that time, no one will remember if they came two weeks earlier or later.

This panic and grand claims of « inexcusable » inaction is ridiculously over the top. What matters is that we get the right players in with the right profile.

That’s an open question and I’m sure when the players return from flying around the world, we’ll have a good centreback signed. And if that happens we should all be happy and stop the overly negative moaning.

I guarantee no one will be saying in November
that things would be so much better if our centrebacks arrived two weeks earlier.
