Tomaszk Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Grealish is on £70k+ a week. Wes can't play football. Yes, he will improve, but so would I training with Smith every day. He's starting from a disastrously low level. The worst signing we've ever made and it's likely going to cost us our Premier League spot. We should be much higher in the table going into these crunch games. With any old average Joe we would have been halfway up the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe slightly over the top, I am sure 22m pounds of our owners money, DS and The Brazil Manager beg to differ on your expert opinion yes he has not been great, but jeez a little bit of realism please Edited December 23, 2019 by MattVillaPortsmouth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf? How many 24 year old players outside the top 4 - 6 are on that type of money? Far and away our best player, but he ain't no 120 - 150 k per week player yet. That would just be stupid imo.

However the one's that don't will be the one's crying when Grealish is off to Utd and we're watching Wesley struggling against Millwall.

Especially since it's based on 18 matches. People should start putting "In my opinion" or probably, or do the research before saying things just for effect. There are probably 100 worse signings we could think of, and it probably wasn't decided for them after 18 games either. How many did Bosko Balaban score? Helenius? Either way que the goalpost moving Edited December 23, 2019 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you aren't thick, so i'm not even going to get into the difference of costing, or inflation etc. Those names were just thrown out there as examples. Let's not try to squirm around what I was addressing and turn it into a debate about how shit Wesley is either as it's been done to the death. Let's just focus on him being "The worst signing we've ever made". As it is literally horseshit made up for effect. The hyperbole takes away from any valid points alot of posters might actually have.

No it isn't. He cost £22m. Inflation or not, he's been a tragic signing. Just because you don't agree with something, it doesn't make it horseshit.

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I still think the worst signing we ever made in terms of expectancy and negative impact on a good team and manager was Stan Collymore. But that’s for another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing, it's not opinion either, it is actually NOT FACTUAL that he is the worst signing we have ever made. And it's been 18 games, this is absolutely hilarious.
