Vinny Green Balls Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, Ben said: Are you ok ? Are you replying to a different post ? He's just going to constantly change the goalposts. Classic example of a bad faith debater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Vinny Green Balls said: you are arguing in bad faith at this point by changing the goalposts. Ben never claimed he wasnt'. He was referring to others who we missed. No not really. I just find it a bit odd to suggest Mbeumo was a clear first choice when we were after Elanga for a long time. Ramsey was first choice. Guehi I agree.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, nufc123 said: Must be then.. Anyone that was glued to the transfer window in the summer knows that basically everyone reported that our first choice was Mbeumo but that it was clear he'd chosen Man United. You can argue that it was unrealistic or that the alternatives weren't up to scratch, which I think is fair, but saying that Elanga and Thiaw were our number one targets for those positions doesn't stack up.

TRon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Amir_9 said: No point, by now it is clear chasing the same targets as the cartel clubs is going to end in nothing but time wasted and frustration for us after they sign for them Hope we unearth some gems in the summer from outside this league I remember this same point being made last summer as well. No harm in aiming high but we seemed to get used by some players just to flush out bids from clubs they'd rather go to. We just need to catch on a bit quicker and move on.

Guehi I agree.. you are still ignoring what Ben said overall just to nitpick. It seems clear to be bad faith at this point. But with regard to Muembo, it was widely reported that we wanted him, but he snubbed us early on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have a DoF capable of getting it done quickly, like Ashworth did with Tonali. IIRC, the media were briefed that we were after Barella while we got the Tonali deal done.

Happy with him, but there are areas where I'd like to see him improve. I suppose I'm more accurately in between the top 2. Eddie is the man, but I have some gripes.
