Maybe he cam play #6 at a push?

That has never really worked out. Great ball playing CB’s we have had like Vertoghen and Romero have never been used as DM’s even in a crisis. On paper you would think they might be capable but perhaps the positioning and mentality is very different that it makes it not that workable. Off the top of my of head only a few CB’s have transformed into good midfielders like Declan Rice. Not saying it can’t happen but it’s not something I would bet on.

Wasn’t being serious mate.

But no doubt will get suggested
 
Few questions for the Takai experts.

1) Does he need a loan or is he ready to play for us? Get him a Champo loan...like Millwall so he can team up with Japh
2) Do we include him in the Champions League squad at the expense of someone else? Absolutely not
3) Is he 5th choice centre back behind Dragusin or is he 6th choice behind Ben Davies? Romero/new RCB, Danso, VdV, Ben, Drag, Vusko, Ash...then that kid on par with Dorrington
4) Any chance he can play as a left back? We have no cover for Udogie at all bar Spence who's unreliable. Better...let's sign a proper quality LB to start games and Udogie is the backup
See above.

Been reading up on the kid but I sure am no expert.

Wait & see but more likely to be another Veliz than a new Dele. Shirt sales & other merch will do well in Japan, though.
 
Sorry I thought that was obvious. Just that not understanding the term is one thing, then disagreeing with and arguing against the lexical definition was really something else

(see what I did there?)
In the context of verbal mockery, everything I said is true. I explained this all to the one I was responding to in a dm, but he turned toxic, so it’s gone. If you think I’m wrong , please explain how. But understand that there is a lot of plain wrong examples on ‘credible’ websites out there.

TLDR; Saying opposite of what you mean in order to mock someone is irony. It’s a subset of irony and also sarcasm.

Mate. You don’t need to try and explain anything to me and if I wanted a refresh I’d gen up on the lexical definition. This was kindly posted for you, which you then rushed headstrong into diametrically disagree with.

Take a moment to overlay your original response to the actual definition and you’ll see where you’re going wrong

I love the bit where you think you’re above ‘credible ‘ websites

I know right? It's almost like I can find equal numbers of conflicting opinions and I'm going to go with the one that stands up to scrutiny.

Not sure where you got headstrong from, I'm simply confounded by a broad misunderstanding of a complex term. But tbh, I can see where it arises,especially in my initial response, which doesn't explicitly clarify what it is I'm addressing. I suggest we drop it it. We can discuss it over beer if we're at the same game. 🥰

I’ll have the beer … this bollox can be left squarely on the internet

Anyhow …. People would’ look at us funny

into diametrically disagree with.

0/10 for English here...you need conditionals...

It’s yourself that’s pluralised lexical definitions not my text and it’s certainly not a double negative

Conditionals ? Whist no expert I believe the 2nd condition is applied and applied correctly

If you care to ‘make good’ I’d be happy to take it on the chin should there be glaring errors because as it stands I find it hard to agree

I certainly wouldn’t want to leave this debate with a 0/10

And ‘doing’ a double negative …. Come on I thought you were handing out an English lesson here ?
