It's not really, he's not going to get gametime and he has to play to develop, after a pretty uninspiring loan spell. We'll loan him out once we buy Orban.
First of all he's the same age as Veliz, who isn't out on loan. If Orban can get minutes, why can't Scarlett?
Orban is a punt, I'd rather we give one of our own who cost nothing a try first.
 
I am just defending the court verdict, as I haven't followed his case closely.

Shut up and educate yourself accordingly then.

I have not listened to those recordings actually and why aren't those recordings used as a proof against him and thus finding him guilty?
Again, I am not saying he's not guilty but the court say he is. Is the English court system so blatantly corrupt and twisted?

NO. THEY. DIDN'T.

You haven't even read the links that YOU posted properly.

I am aware that will all his money he must have had access to the best lawyers and their influence and manipulative powers, so it may well be that's what swayed the police and jury...

The police weren't swayed and there was no jury.

Be less ignorant.
 
Gift Orban feels like the kind of signing where our fanbase has clamoured for a player and the club actually seem interested too.

:nunothumb:

I'm going to try to put out of my mind that Ndombele was a similar case.

Is that a joke? Orban scored 15 goals in 16 matches in Belgium last season, Scarlett scored 4 goals in 34 games in League 1, they're not in the same stage of development at all.

Orban is 100% a punt and we have already taken one on Veliz. I dont get why so many people are clamoring for Orban anyway... its the fucking Belgian league for fucks sake.
 
Footballers are seen as role models. And indeed clubs have as part of yhe players contracts that they portray the club in a good light and undertake various public works type activities

If footballers behaviour means they are not, its better that they take up a career where that is not a requirement.

Sadly that means forgoing the millionaire lifestyle and getting a 'more ordinary job' which doesn't require them to be role models.

In short you need public support to be a role model. Its clear he does not have it
I'm not saying we should buy him but we did go out and buy Woodgate who was found guilty of affray in a racist attack against an Asian student.

That's Belgium league is not the prem, he's still a punt and still going to be third striker if he comes here. Why can't we just wait and see how Scarlett works out first? We bought Veliz he's not going out on loan.

The Belgian league is still better than League 1, we've been beaten by a number of Belgian clubs over the last decade. Orban will probably be the second striker, Veliz will be given time to adjust and then probably be sent on loan.

That's almost as simplistic in approach in doubting Postecoglou because he has never manged in a top league.

Or wondering why we were after a South Korean defender from the Chinese League or a Georgian footballer.

Orbans goalscoring record, regardless of league, is impressive but his profile suits Ange perfectly. Great movement, ability to get his shots off quickly, great shift in his body to create that space. Basically, three things that Richarlison doesn't excel in.

There's a reason Orban gets rave reviews, yet someone like Onuachu, who dominated that league, didn't. It's because he's a good footballer.

I don't for a single second think we'll be keeping Scarlett at the club this summer. Once Orban signs, he's going out on loan. Hopefully a good one this time where he can show he can score goals at men's level.
 
I’d live with us making only one more signing if it’s a real quality signing for the first team.
Same. Although it’s more in hope than expectation.

Don’t even mind if it’s a wide player as opposed to an out and out 9. Would just be wonderful to sign one of those players where you think ‘shit, he’s brilliant’.

Inject a bit of excitement into the team.

I should add that I have zero clue who that player would be.
 

They have just had a child and they’re getting married - So at this point, all of it is a private matter between the two of them imho.

That being said - I don’t want Greenwood at our club for all the obvious reasons.

You wouldn't be saying that if the cunt went out to a nightclub next weekend, coaxed your sister back to a hotel and then raped her.
