The midfield

[Red Bird]

No I mean klopp had a long term plan when he bought keita. It was the opposite of a panic buy, he waited a year, but I don't think we got value for money.

Now I get you.

 

[peekay]

I hear Fabian Delph's still without a club.....

I think Adama Traore is a better footballer than Delph. And No, I don't want us to buy Traore.

Would you want us to buy Delph though.....

 

[binomial]

If you don't count teenagers, Is it right saying Thiago has been our only midfield signing over the last 5 years? (After Fab & Naby joined)

What What What!!!!

 

[refugee]

Tielemans would be a good pick up in this situation. I am sure we are looking at it.

I think he's a bit crap defensively. Although it could just be Rodgers extensive training

Not worse than thiago I think?

 

[keniget]

Should’ve bought Bissouma.

 

[refugee]

Not worse than thiago I think?

I think he's worse. Seems to be out of position and make no effort to get back a lot.

Once those allegations surfaced we were never going near him, not even after he received the all clear.

Pretty sure we don't base decisions on allegations regardless of what we decided.

Shut up you dweeb.

 

[Frogfish]

Shut up you dweeb.

Oh there is the rascally risible Peter we all know. Proven wrong again.

I think we do inasmuch as it’s good indicator of his personality.

You really should have kept your big fucking mouth shut instead of gobbing off ... when you were wrong.

AHAHAHAHA !

Dude, everyone but you knew that in the context I used the word I was using striker to refer to a centre forward specifically rather than an attacker in general.

That's obvious because

1. That's the normal, default definition
2. That was City's specific problem after the loss of Aguero (Yes, I forgot about Jesus, but I already acknowledged that)

So you're basically desperately trying to squeeze through this tiny loophole that (according to the dictionary!!!) a striker needn't necessarily refer to a CF and therefore I must necessarily have been referring to attackers in general, when I wasn't, and you think this means you "won" when in fact it just makes you look like a fucking thick pedantic wanker.

For clarification, then:

1. I meant striker to mean centre forward
2. You're a pathetically thick cunt

 

[Fabio]

Is this the Oxford definition? Or some bastardised foreign version

 

[Fabio]

(in football (soccer)) a player whose main job is to attack and try to score goals

Of course, this is highly subjective, as momo pointed out, Gerrard is the definition of a striker

 

[Fabio]

Also on a football forum if you're using "striker" in any other context than "the central attacking player"/ centre forward, you're a dickhead

 

[ctlovesred]

You guys are boorish. Moving on.






What’s our best 11?

God I love winding you up, with your ego it's so damn easy.

Twist and turn all you like :

Dictionary definition of striker : the player who is to strike the ball in a game; a player considered in terms of ability to strike the ball: a gifted striker of the ball. • a forward or attacker.

N.B. You can always tell when Peter has lost a debate - he starts with the name calling. Haha !

 

[tomasjj]

I think we do inasmuch as it’s good indicator of his personality.

I'd hazard the guess that we would rather gather that info by actually watching him play.

FOR THE LAST TIME - I was referring to Man City's good industrial relations!!!

striker - noun

1. 
   an employee on strike.
   "the manager was anxious to have talks with the strikers and discuss their demands"

 

[tombrown]

Jesus and Mahrez (24 goals) aren't strikers?

Jesus and Mahrez Chain

Frogfish you're going on ignore now, not because you're a horrible stupid twat, but because you're too pussy to admit when you're wrong. Life's too short.
