Will double check with the club to see if I still find it amusing and get back to you. Would also like to add that it would be worrying if ‘I’ll wait until I see him play to decide if he’s good or not’ is the same position the club are taking on any transfer they are about to complete.

There is of course the option that we did all this and a human being changed their mind for some reason, somewhere along the line?

Given I’ve argued on here quite a lot that ‘experience’ shouldn’t be used as a barometer - I really don’t think I would have been 😂

People are allowed opinions. But I will only point out they look silly if a) their opinion includes factually incorrect usage of numbers b) based on literally zero evidence and/or c) moaning for the sake of being grumpy Correct.

The right? 😂 I had no opinion on Schlotterbeck, just as I have zero on Abbott. But you’re right, I’ve only picked people up for moaning.

The good news is we still have a target man and fellows replacement to do this all over again with, right @Pilchards?

As you’ve neatly pointed out…it’s sometimes best to see how things pan out before having opinions.

Actually I didn’t ignore anything. I directly quoted the point that was being made and took issue with the 3 first team appearances comments, which stupidly I thought meant 3 first team appearances as fact and therefore I pointed out that’s not correct

Probably would have waited to see them play before dismissing them and their experience…which is the point.

It’s not though is it. 3 is not 13, especially when you say 3. And even if you specifically put it in fancy italics for effect, it’s literally not the same.

You don’t know this guys attributes though do you? So you don’t know how much his replicate THB. That’s before even considering that replicating the attributes of someone just signing for a Champions League team seems a bit ambitious to me. It’s obviously a risk, hence the loan but every signing is a risk. Splashing a nice figure on someone that a message board convinced themselves over night was perfect also seems a risk to me but given the clubs job is to scout and watch these guys I’m going to wait and see how it pans out before shitting the bed. But I also suggested someone on here should do that before Millwall so maybe it’s a character flaw.

Cool, glad we agreed on that detail. Shall we wait to see if he is or not before we panic then?

You didn’t say experienced did you? You said three first team appearances. Like I said, if you’re going to criticise based on facts, make them factual.

Well it’s 10 more than you said, yeah.

If he’s good, why does this bother you?
