captainhaircut Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Just assuming for a second that there's truth in this (far from certain), what exactly would be the thinking behind it? I'm struggling to work it out. He's not a long-term solution, has no resale value even if he was a runaway success and we wanted to buy him, is clearly not as good as Enrique, and probably doesn't want to sit on the bench all season when he could be playing elsewhere. Literally the only thing I can think of is... he'd be cheap. Have him on loan for a season and then ease Taylor or Ferguson into the position?

Wil Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 If there is any truth in this, it would be a very poor attempt to replace Jose. Can't believe there aren't better options out there - if there is any money to spend that is. Has that smack of a deal that would appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 His debut for West Ham involved him attempting something like 6 passes and none of the were successful. He also gave away a penalty. He's an absolute shambles of a footballer. 'cos Jose has never had a s**** game... What an utterly bizarre retort. The gist is that you can't judge a player on one game. I thought you'd be sharp enough to have fathomed that to be honest Why not just say that then, instead of coming up with a daft straw man and putting words in his mouth?

Taylor isn't ours yet and Ferguson is a better winger IMO. If Enrique is going, why not just buy a proper replacement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obvious man. He referred to 1 (one) game and my comment obviously inferred that there may have been occasions when our incumbent left back may have played poorly. It was clear - do we have to be literal and assume zero intelligence about everything? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
