Alternatively, I can just carry on posting in here the same as everyone else. If you find it boring then there are a plethora of options at your fingertips.

This is why I love this forum!


Its great entertainment

Why does every post have to be about players you rate highly? Nothing wrong with a post that isn't very flattering if that's their opinion, its no less valid than somebody that rates him highly. we're not scouse.

I just think it must get very boring to constantly post in a thread about someone you don't rate. A bit like why I don't post in X, Y and Z threads. If people have enough free time on their hands to do that then crack on. Just seems unusual.

and I think it's very boring to constantly post how boring it is when other people don't rate a player, so what? this isn't an echo chamber

we signed Fabien delph for 8m.................... Football prices haven't inflated ten-fold from 2015.

Kalvin Phillips has still got a few years left on his deal at Leeds. Delph would of been a bosman; Villa persuaded Delph to sign a new deal and they didn't ask for too much

Okay, do you think we should have signed delph in 2015 for 45m, had that been the quoted price, then?

Look, we're discussing a potential transfer and the opinions range from "he's an absolute monster and £60m is more than reasonable" to "he's dogshit and we can spend the money better elsewhere" and everything in between.

That makes for a far more interesting thread, for me, than the majority of the stuff on here.

Do you mean to tell me the thread would be more exciting if it was just a bunch of people unanimously nodding and saying "great business at any price"?

If the club seen value in the player then yes And the club would of broken that fee down a bit. More than likely Phillips' fee would be performance related. Leeds may not see all of that £60m

We paid £8mil for Delph. We shouldn't be spending £60mil on someone to come in and "do a job" for us, in my opinion. I'd rather see the club put the £50mil we're likely to get for Jesus towards the midfield fund and bring in a Rolls Royce player, like a De Jong or someone who will develop into one, a la Bellingham. That would be the more beneficial move long term. Phillips has too many limitations to warrant such an outlay, again that's just my opinion.

Again Leeds might not see that £60m.

That is what they want, everybody else doesn't know football.
