I just don't get how this thread got so ridiculous.

You don't get it?
Okay I'll explain it slowly for you.
This is a thread about Arda Turan, an attacking midfielder who plays on the left.
Fark made a comment that he's sick of signing attacking midfielders who play anywhere else but attacking midfield.
KopKing then replied by stating that in modern football many attacking midfielders do play on the wing.
You then went out of the blue asking the stupidest, most irrelevant of questions, "Is that why Rafa's so shit?"
That's when it got ridiculous.

Well, allow me to stop watching badminton for a while, eh?
I made that comment because I thought (and still do) that Rafa has a penchant for versatile players often at the expense of actual ability in their best position.
As in : I'd rather we sought out quality players in a position, instead of getting players just because he CAN play in several positions.
That was the comment I made.
Not having good English (being Asian); might I refer you to an old saying : 'Jack of all trades, master of none' ; this means :
"being able to do many things adequately, but not being able to do any ONE thing very well"
Kopking's reply was that 'football has changed'.
I thought it was a flippant comment and replied.
I didnt get his point (which was valid) until Ryan's post.
