Well, I noticed that our other latin import was not in the squad due to "lack of match fitness" (a questionable statement in itself!). The game at this level does require players who can rise above the lumpers and cloggers, and industrial boot-in tackers. I remember Ward, as a VERY slight lad...

This is a good, no-committal post. I'm more interested to read your assessment - based on some of what is in that post. Do the players around him, the core squad, respond well and does he interract with them? Do you think he warrants a place over another squad member, or that a space should be...

I'm WAITING for you to really rub my nose in it about this flair player we signed. I just know you will, as soon as he....er..... proves to be as exciting as your 11 and 13year-olds say he is.

Out of interest, why did Barcelona let him go? How many appearances did you see with him in the first team squad? Why are Man City not playing him instead of us? Just curious, like.

In your mind, willy's probably wave. In mine, those players were clearly quality and very capable. Since you agree, then it's hardly a contest - just conformation that I know a good player when I see one PLAY FOR US, just like you, and Gus.

Ah well, as long as they then back it up with "in Gus we trust", that turns them into GENIUSES. I'll reserve judgment on Gai, thanks - because I'm thick enough to require evidence that he can also fit into OUR TEAM (you genius), can adapt to competition in the English Championship (you genius)...

I will have to see about that. In those videos, he does not look all that. Fact. I crowed about Adam el-Abd when Dean Wilkins was our manager, and Gus endorsing my football genius only told me that he does at least recognise talent when he sees it playing for Brighton - so there's hope. I...

I said the reason I declined to 'rate' him, and you idiots seem to find that objectionable. Well, I have questioned your reasons for rating him, and have yet to get more that "Gus knows" or "I have HEARD of him" Great, you have heard of him :lolol: He MUST be good then.

So you are suggesting that he has a 100% success rate on his signings, and that every player he likes is dynamite before they make a SINGLE f***ing APPEARANCE for us. Interessssting!

WHY?? What has he even done to impress you that much? Those video clips? Gimme a break! Hey, on another subject though..... I have some beachfront land in Arizona to sell you. I think there's a diamond mine on the property as well

And it's you, if you can be that convinced by reserve-game videos where it looks like the equivalent of a bunch of 8year-olds scampering about, and the one you are drolling about is just running with the ball or hitting it once from close in. Another video showing the ones where he trips over...

I have seen nothing in these videos to impress me, and I am a much better spotter of talent than all of you lot put together - that's clear already. He better be able to turn up with better than those vids have shown, otherwise we may as well look at local schoolkids for that level. It's not a...

These snippets are a bit misleading and vague. I have played alongside lads at the local park who look as good on the ball and are tricky, but couldn't get anywhere near a pro club. Take the best footage of my gran with a football, and you could be yelling "sign her up" - and she's dead.
