xLiaaamx Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I personally think he's pretty weak for a guy of his size, similar to how Joselu was, and that the aerial duel stat covers up some really bad general play. More and more convinced CAA Base just told us his release clause after we signed Trippier and we just hit the panic button after Cambridge.

Probably, and should we stay up buying him will be absolutely worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what our club policy is on this, but might have been the reason we weren't interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 It seems irrelevant now, but before the Watford game everyone was panicking (me included) to the point where anyone up top would do. Think even Wood himself effectively said it was a panic buy. I don't think it was ever a choice between Weghorst and Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Weghorst was ever looked at like. Straw man argument. But I personally wouldn't hire someone who wouldn't vaccinate, assuming their status is down to refusal to do so - because the well-being of everyone else in the organisation is a massive consideration and I'm not sure I'd employ someone who doesn't care about that. Character is important. If performance and goals were the only priorities when it comes to hiring we'd end up with a bunch of shitehawks. Again.

Groundhog63 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just my opinion but I'm bemused, a tad, why some people are on such a downer for him. It's clear what went on with his signing. Call it a panic buy if you want but, with Wilson out, all we had was Gayle. They went out and bought a striker that, if they paid the release fee, the purchase of couldn't be blocked. Simple as. With him "in the bank" so to speak they spent the rest of the window trying to upgrade. Knowing full well, given all the obstacles, that buying a top striker would be difficult. It proved so. Fair play to them. Fair play to him because he's honest and realistic. Even read on here someone saying we're unbeaten "in spite of Wood" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I can see your point, what happened to freedom of choice in what you chose to put into your body? Especially from professional athletes. Seems a very draconian outlook from some people on the vaccine. Dark route to go down. I'm triple vaxxed btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do the decision makers at any club who can decide that someone who is refusing the vaccine may be risking the health of teammates and may have a bit of a character flaw.

But then you don't get to swan about mixing with others. What about the freedom of others not to be infected by some muppet crying 'my personal freedoms' etc. Anyway. Massive derailment so will leave it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are in a cult, where vaccine status (and mandates) have given them one more thing to feel morally superior about over others. And they don’t care, never have, about basic freedoms which were codified in the Nuremberg Laws (freedom to not have anything put into your body via force or coercion). I’m fully vaxxed as well.

DJ_NUFC Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not being able to be employed without being injected is the very definition of coercion. In no other walk of life is it legal to discriminate against anyone from being hired based on their medical status. An employer shouldn’t even be asking your fucking vaccination status.
