Is not a fact and you can't prove that. 'Tis merely conjecture and that IS a fact. Just because something happened doesn't mean that that is the only way it could have happened. That's end justifying the means mentality.
Not digging you out just don't like bad logic because it gets picked up and becomes hard to disabuse folks of.
Who says there has to be a choice? It's a false choice, no?

If he hadn't signed that extension he would have had the pick of the big clubs at a fair price, and then a year later he comes out telling Palace he really ought to be playing in the CL! No one will give Palace 100 million, talk about shoot yourself in the foot.
ochfacepalm:
If it's real then I will say it's a Levy special because he is out of contract this summer I believe. I would say no to anyone from Lyon other than Ndombele, Mendy, Aouar, Terrier, Dubois, Diop (possibly), Lopes (too small)...oooh, and the guy we opted against and we are now 3 years later trying to fill the spot, Moussa Dembele.

You're right, of course, that it is conjecture. My "fact" comment is more of a cliche, and not to be taken literally.
That said, it is a fact that he was a difference maker. And, that's not conjecture, because I'm not saying nobody else "could" have made a difference, only that he did.
For your next "trick" (joke) I'd like to see you explain why a player Poch signed, and played, has no business being on a team coached by Poch; as stated by

(paraphrasing, but that's an accurate assessment of his comment).In that game, we had a choice. Continue to play the same way, and struggle to produce goals. Or start sending the ball long from deep. The latter worked, and it was a choice we had, and clearly the tactics changed. So, no, i don't think it's a false dichotomy specific to this one game.

apparently would rather we not bring back Llorente and play that style when necessary, even if it means we don't make it to the Champions League final because we are unwilling to adapt.
What I am saying is that I don't want to give him a new contract.
Fucking hell
but Dzeko wouldn't be? He barely moves now and part of the reason he was let go from City was because of it and his poor holdup play. But NOW after 5 or whatever years in the glue factory that is Serie A you want him leading the line? I cast the malocchio your way my 'friend'.
Yeah, 'cause he might break a hip getting off it FFS. I liked him too...5 years ago when he said we were beneath him. Now he can eat Rondon's dust.
I can see your point but Dzeko is having 'issues' in Roma whereas Nando seems a happy bunny that should be transitioned to the Fellaini role...and you know how I love me some route 1, Wooooooo!
Fekir = Nope! And I hope our recruitment this summer allows Dele to take up his rightful place on the true bench instead of another position where he is ill-suited.
And you didn't have to come stand in for 'formerly respected poster'. That rotten bastard should have had the guts to come and defend his beliefs himself. Soft bellend.
ochlol:
We get the PSG ones.
Listen, I would love nothing more than to take the piss outtaFor your next "trick" (joke) I'd like to see you explain why a player Poch signed, and played, has no business being on a team coached by Poch; as stated by

because he's a total knobhead but he does have a point. And I'm a little cross with you for making me defend that bellend.ochlol: But he does have a point. Janssen was signed and doesn't fit. As were N'jie, GKN, and a few others. Clearly he meant that Nando is not dynamic enough and I believe his mobility has fallen below most folks' expectations. Except
bus-conductor
who wants to go back to that Serie A well.Uhhh, it is exactly a false dichotomy. There are many other ways we could have changed our play without putting Llorente on. We could have had Hugo do headstands it goal, Sonny and Lucas play as a 3-legged striker, or any other change. but you have whittled all these potential tactical changes down to 2 options ie a false dichotomy.
Straw man. I believe you are mischaracterizing
Five
's position. And now you have made me defend that bellend again. 
Someone's been paying attention. See
Airfixx
we are legion and cannot be stopped.
Even worse than that...
If you look at it mathematically, they have to increase their price from the 'true' fee by a third to get what they want.
E.g. if they want £60m, they have to demand £80m (33% more) to compensate.
Christ.
Then again, they did get a payday from United and then got him back fairly cheap soon afterwards, so they didn't suffer too much.
