Nothing is a lock, but it would have been a big help.
Then why do you seem to be bringing this up as the big issue why we aren't solidly in contention for a top 4 place? It's just one of many factors that could all help, but this seems to be the only idea I've heard from you.
It would have meant Vert had a solid CB next to him all season. Or it would have meant than when Vert does play left back, there is more quality in the center. We might even actually score from set pieces with Caulker! Imagine that!
Frankly, I think that Chiriches has been damn solid for us this year and has been a great matchup with Jan. I think selling Caulker was a poor idea, but I also don't think that he would have had any serious impact on our overall performance this year, what with all of our other issues.
How could you not think our season would have gone better with a solid left back signed? You argue yourself into the strangest places to win an argument.
Again, you make things up.
You are just lying now, pure and simple. I never said that.
Even if we did sign a "better" LB, what makes you think that person would have helped this year? We signed practically an entire new team this past summer, almost all arguably better than what we already had, and a lot of them have been an overall disappointment at this point in time.
It's the biggest no brainer of the season we needed a left back. haha
Sure, but nobody expected Rose to be as average as he was, or Naughton to be as poor as he is. As soon as the injuries hit us, only then did people start coming out of the woodwork on this topic.
Honeslty...I'm sitting here arguing with a dude who questions would a solid left back have helped us this season?
You're being deceitful again, or you just hear what you want to.
It is my opinion that a solid player in any position helps, but I still don't think that even if we had Marcelo playing in LB that we would be playing that significantly better as a team. That is all I'm saying.
Remember, until BAE was hurt, he was a solid LB for us and Rose looked like he was going to be solid as well.
And also is questioning the quality of Vert!!! Never ceases to amaze me how fickle some fans are.
It's amazing how far those knees will jerk with fair weather fans like you.
YOU ARE A LIAR.
I never questioned his quality, never. Prove me wrong. Show me where I questioned his quality. You deliberately mislead and put words into people's mouth. I question his mentality and think that his play has suffered because of it, but I don't for a second question his ability.
