Wilfried Bony

If you want to discuss shirts. Then fuck off to the shirt thread. This thread is about Bony!

Right ya boring bastards fuck off with that FFP shite! Back to Bony and I particularly like the impressive stat of Bony having the highest pass completion rate of other top strikers. I'm sure City took this into account when assessing his ability and whether he'd fit into our system.

So apart from the attribute shown in this clip we have someone who can find his teammates:

Absolutely, one of Dzeko's weaknesses is his lack of ability with his feet. On occasion he can control and pass the ball very well, but too often his first touch, and his passes, go astray. If we're getting soemone who scores goals like Dzeko, but also works hard, wins aerial challenges, can hold off defenders, and can link up play with his teammates, then it seems a no brainer to buy him!

It doesn't matter whether the rules were "changed" only the outcome matters. Sheikh Mansour pays top dollar to ensure these things don't happen, they happened, we dropped a bollock.

"Dropping a bollock" suggests it was something we could have avoided and we didn't, so it was our own fault.

Think of it this way, you're asked to go to the shop with a shopping list, one item on which is a shirt. Prior to leaving the house you're told that where the list says "shirt" what is meant is a red shirt, with short sleeves, with a 16 inch neck. You go to the shops, find the right shirtm buy it, and go home. When you arrive, you find that the guidance on the shirt has changed, now the shirt has to be blue, have long sleeves, and a 15 inch neck. Your wife is pissed off and won't cook your tea for the next week, as you got it wrong. Whose fault is this? You did everything you could do, and followed the guidance exactly. Did you "drop a bollock"?

That's a very simplified version of what happened here. The rules stayed the same (buy a shirt), however the guidance before buying the shirt is not the same guidance being used to assess whether the purchase meets the requirements.

So, what you're basically saying, is Txiki went to the Next boxing day sale in 2013, bought the wrong fucking thing and as a result we failed FFP?

Why couldn't his wife just gone and bought him the shirt so we could sign Messi?!

In this scenario (his wife being UEFA) it's because she was too busy fellating the CEO's of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. At the same time.

So what your saying is uefa are slags? ... makes sense

 

[Lancet Fluke]

one of Dzeko's weaknesses is his lack of ability with his feet.

That is definitely a bit of a problem for a footballer.

I'm confused - why would anyone buy a red shirt?

Cheaper than going to the games I suppose
