It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

The ‘Txiki can’t negotiate for shit coz he’s not buying X instead of Y - what, is the guy completely fucking brain dead?’ type bullshit which inevitably you end up having to wade through post after post of during school holidays.
Ironically his posts weren't far off this. The last few weeks are filled with him having arguments over how are City so stupid on trying to sign Kalvin Phillips when his stats aren't even as good as Fred. We should sign X because hes got 77% progressive passes in the french league.

That’s a fair point - ultimately it was his position on Phillips that did for him. He just couldn’t accept any rationale for signing the player, and couldn’t let it go.

But at least he tried to argue why he believed Phillips would be such a disaster for us, whether you agreed with him or not.

The point I was trying to make is it’s the reactionary, binary opinions that get chucked about on here with no attempt at reason - like they're on Twitter, and the sole purpose is to get as many reactions as possible - which do my nut.

If you think a player is going to be a terrible buy, then explain why. If you do it well, you might even bring people along with you.

Just shouting about what a shit buy he’ll be is a complete waste of everyone’s time. And fucking boring to read.

Gus never did that - as far as I saw.

But he did advocate for signing Lukaku. A bridge too far. ;)
