Baron von Fat Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 This Thompers guy is the most mentally ill lad I've ever seen here :roll: BLEEEEAT. You're just a sheep. There are far more mentally ill lads on here, but since thompers excels at the most showy parts of being mentally ill (bonkers arguments), everyone thinks he's the top of the heap. What about his over-the-top insults? Poor. His inane ramblings are also suspect. And while his passionate, unreasonable vendettas against individual players are above average, they still don't reach the heights of the board's truly mental posters. Crumpy Gunt has been more insane in a single thread than thompers has over his entire posting career! We could certainly sell him to another forum.

Guest Johan Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Shay be a great keeper and all but I cant help feeling that our present back four would be better helped by someone who is more of a leader and has some physical presence back there. Send Krul out on a loan and if he performs selling Given this summer or next could be atleast something to consider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 You make some good points von Fat. To be a truly "world class" troll, you definitely have to have better all-around insanity. Charlton fans would probably buy him for 2m though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Out of interest I got the stats for this season for the number of saves made and goals conceeded by each keeper, and calculated the ratio of one against the other (ie how many saves a keeper made divided by how many goals were conceeded). This gives an idea of how well a keeper is doing while somewhat factoring out how good or bad the defence in front of him is or how well his team are playing - a keeper with a crap defence would have to make more saves and would obviously conceed more, but if he's good his ratio of saves per goal should be better than average. I also included the number of minutes played, as anything under 10 games or so isn't really representative.

Skirge Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 How many clubs world wide would not want to buy him if he was offerd to them ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jangles Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Given is a fantastic keeper and I cant see us attracting anyone better in our current situation. But in the purely hypothetical situation that it was a straight choice between Shay and 2/3 good defenders, say bridge, baine, (a fit) woodgate, upson, etc- What would most folk go for? I suspect youd go for a solid defence as that makes the goalkeeper less important and helps contribute to attacking play. Allied that with the fact that we've Harper who's an extremely capable keeper and a very promising youngster sitting in the wings. But its all hypothetical as I dont think we're that desperate for money and I dont think theres any big clubs prepared to offer us big money for Shay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 How many clubs world wide would not want to buy him if he was offerd to them ?? Quite a few tbh, four in this country for starters. You honestly believe Given is so loyal as to turn down one of the big four if they came knocking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
