hypochondriac

How many times have you watched him?

Fair enough. I'm quite happy to ay he has some potential, just not enough from what I have seen to sign him.

Who has said that? Seriously.

Why are loads of your posts talking about me? I don't think I have ever commented on you. Strange.

BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR!!! What do you want me to say? That we should sign him? Based on what evidence? That a newspaper reports that Everton wants him? The same accusations of jumping the gun can be leveled at the people saying we should sign him. I can only go on the evidence of my own eyes and form an opinion on what I have seen of him. Based on what I have seen so far, my comment is that he is not worth the transfer fee and wages and that there are better more proven options available. Of course it is entirely possible that this could change and that he progresses and becomes better but I am offering an opinion AT THIS STAGE. I hope that isn't to difficult for you to comprehend.

No one is writing him off, simply giving their opinion based on what they have seen so far on a messageboard.

I don't think it is worth paying wages and a transfer fee on a signing when there are better options available. If we do sign him then I hope he comes good but based on what I have seen so far I think we can do better.

If you are just going to lie then again it is not worth talking to you.

Jack is four years younger. IMO I think there are better options available, certainly considering we are looking at prem football in a maximum of three years, possibly less.

I agree. So the other signings will hopefully be those which will significantly improve what we have. IMO based on what I have seen so far Stephens does not offer that.

Premiership standard? Definitely not from what I have seen so far.

Erm because we are building a team to get us out of the NPC. Unless you think we are looking to stay here???

Which we are doing. A team to get us out of the NPC. Players of the same quality of Fonte should be easily achievable.

No they haven't, simply suggesting that now we are in the NPC there are better offers available.

15 million is ridiculous. Sell at once.

Exactly. Last year we signed the likes of Lambert and Fonte, players who quite obviously improved the team immediately. With the added attraction of the NPC, we should have that same mentality this year. Even the skates got Lawrence last year and we should look for similar.

We will sign a CM this summer.

No point signing someone for the sake of it. We are in the NPC now and I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he will improve things (we will be signing another CM this summer anyway so he will be further down the pecking order behind Schneiderlin, new signing, Chaplow and Hammond.

I wouldn't want Stephens TBH. We can do better.

Hit the post.

I used to have a season ticket there and it was excellent. Gutted it was closed.

Yes it has been really weird. Ordinarily I would say my expectations are lower than the average every season. Expecting mediocrity is much easier than expecting big successes!

Nice to see you Flyer mate, I reckon you're probably the longest serving opposition poster on here now. Well done to QPR btw.

Precisely! FWIW my views entirely mirror your own.

2914. Great effort. I donated a tenner.
