It's been 106 Total Prem games since the 2 attacking options were purchased for a staggering 58 large to replace Bale's productivity
They have a combined 3 prem goals over that span. And peoples are telling me to be patient? It's diabolical.
Big money spent. Big expectations. No other way around it with the amount of wages both of those players make on our dime.
Money has fuck all to do with it. Erik is 22 in his first (fuck last season) in the Prem. Be patient. Any mug with eyes can see the talent he possesses. It'll come. Relax ya batty.
Trust me , I hope you're right.
Lamela was 30 , no?Fuck me, it's 28 large times two and odd maths again.
ochfacepalm:
58 large is 58 thousand isn't it?
I was thinking £58m
No. £25.8m only rising to £30m if performance targets were met.
Your logic is stupid anyway, you're adding up all the PL games that have occured since we signed them, then multiplying it by the number of players signed and then ignoring goals. It's not just bad maths, it's the very epitome of a meaningless statistic.
Using your method, our 24-man squad played 912 PL games last season and only scored 55 goals....
aulinhofacepalm:Ah... I think that's 58 bars.
My logic is stupid ? You tried to argue that Adebayor single-handedly brought down the first half of Spurs season last year. Comedy goldNo. £25.8m only rising to £30m if performance targets were met.

My math is spot on. 106 total games since their arrival. I'm sure pretty both big signings were expected to play a majority of the Prem games. I'll cut that number in half n you got 3 goals over 53 games. How is that a meaningless stat when both were signed to replace Bale's productivity ? The logic is spot on actually
And yes I ignore PKs. My 12 yr old nephew could guess right on a PK effort and score on a world class keeper. Soldado wasn't purchased to bag PKs

You can roll w/ bars. I'll roll w/ large.
You can't count tap ins and ignore penalties - that's just silly. Other than that, I'm not getting involved.
I'm simply pointing out. Soldado wasn't signed for massive money to bag a majority of his goals via the PK, which seems to be the crutch of one's argument.
Interestingly enough, I had the same reaction to your commentary here....Literally don't know how to respond any more...
What's the crutch of an argument? Sounds a load of bollocks to me
