I disagree. I remember thinking El Ghazi's videos were very average. It's possible Trezeguet's videos are better imo.
-
I think everything that's possible to say about the clause has been said many times now.
-
Sheeeet. That list yesterday was true!

He speaks belgian does he?
-
I bet they hadn't either.
-
Ha I agree. Some willfully half empty glasses around.

For me the only way he looks raw any more than a dozen other people is because someone said he looked raw last week. All this work in progress stuff too. He looks like a pacey winger who may or may not adapt well to the Prem.
-
He looks fine. I don't know what you're all talking about.
-
It could be written either way. For me using the singular for football teams sounds American. I'd never say Villa is winning. I'd say Villa are winning.

You said people are the same at 16 as they are at 30. That's what I was responding to. It doesn't matter if that change is down to maturity in spite of their core personality traits. Traits can wax and wane through maturity. People can learn to be less selfish—not every trait is 'in their nature', a lot of traits can and have been learnt too. I get it that there are biological traits that are consistent, but they mature and develop in surprising ways. As I say, there are learnt traits too. The second point—about Dan Crowley. You might be right, but you don't know that. If he has matured and sorted himself out, good luck to him. Sure, there's a possibility that he is one of those people born a true dickhead. But, regardless, there's no way he's coming to Villa anyway.

Maybe @KenjiOgiwara more sees himself as the first type!

Nah. It's nonsense. And you contradict yourself even within a sentence. Sure, you have traits that are on some level more or less consistent, but maturity levels change people beyond recognition. And there's more than one stage to it too—16, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40 and so on. Anyone who doesn't change and mature with age needs to open their mind a little bit, because if you really think you had it all worked out at 16 then you're a **** idiot! EDIT: Nice, I like the Mohamed Ali quote.

This is nonsense. If you're anything the same as you are at 30 as you were at 16 I'd feel sorry for anyone who has to hang out with you.

None of this speaks to me of his being highly rated. If he was so good he would have won his spot back after his injury, as happens with all the good keepers in the world. Being the best keeper in the Belgium and Croatia domestic leagues is not that impressive. And having nobody pick him up until he was 28 is actually a potential bad sign in a way. Being second keeper to a good keeper does not make him good. He was number one for about 6 games.

Hmmm. How cheap.

The nationality British is specifically people from the UK. The nationality. Nobody uses the word any other way! You're a citizen of a county, a state, not an island. People who don't know what they're talking about use British generally for people from the British isles (so Ireland too) but, although it might be technically true, nobody anywhere uses it like that. British = a UK citizen Also the Olympic team should be Team UK, not Team GB.
-
British refers to the nationality of people from the UK. That's the way we use it. As I say, ireland is technically part of the British isles, and you could call everyone who was born on the collection of islands British, but that's not how anyone uses the word. You don't call people from the republic of Ireland British as for us the word British is a specific nationality. Someone from Northern Ireland (you perhaps with your username?) Is also considered British when referring to their nationality as they're citizens of the UK. So they'd be Scottish. And as British as someone from the republic of Ireland (geographically British but not British when anyone talks about nationality).
-
Yet the nationality British refers to people from the UK specifically, so they'd be known as Scottish. Ireland is technically part of the British isles but you wouldn't call someone from Cork or Dublin British now. They're Irish.

I know what they said. But things change. Why cut your nose to spite your face? There's a massive difference between loaning five players in the Championship every season and loaning one or two players in the Premier League on top of a £100million+ net spend when we've already had to build an entire squad from bare bones. One or two loans can ease that pressure and give us a better chance at staying up and having more money to spend on the squad next year.

Peeps seem to be confused over the meaning of the word 'option'!
-
I was about to say the same thing. A DM is the most important buy now. Hourihane was caught out a lot in that position in the Championship. I would dread relying on him all season there! To be fair to him, it's not his natural position. Two of them are far too slow. We'd be destroyed. The other has never played there. It would also leave a big gap in his natural position, so we'd have to buy another midfielder anyway.

I guess a lot of the subtlety of meaning comes across with tone, which obviously doesn't translate on message boards. I think if you put it in sarcastic italics I might have got that more! Or something like that.
-
In fairness, to me, using apparently makes you seem as if you believe it might be true.

I'm still sure it's Stoke who choose his value!
