KenjiOgiwara Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Pretty clear he doesn't have much to contribute with if Traore is what he suggests for securing our place in the PL. I fully understand the need of pace and athleticism. I even argued that point weeks ago, but they also need to be good footballers. Otherwise lets just sign Linford Christie. Everyone that has seen him play will agree he's not the quality we need. Lyon fans will tell you. French football viewers on here will tell you. Youtube will normally be able to drum up a good video, but even that fails here. Often in life the information you need is right in front of you, but it's human nature to avoid the bad stuff and substitute it for alternative scenarios that's more comfortable to our preferences. Unfortunately he doesn't just magically become better at football. Edited September 13, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could end in a pretentious aphorism too but I have to get this in quick as it's an edit, so I won't. Edit. Often in life people get an idea in their head and use any evidence they can to confirm that bias. And it's human nature to be smug about it.

I know you have never liked context or thinking how things like different systems, or that other variables can affect players at different times. I also know you don't like looking past the position you stringently take, so you won't look at his better stats in previous seasons, or how he's been linked to far better clubs than us for far more money in the past.

They're just people who eat bread and plenty of people seem to have no idea about bread but they'll still give you an opinion. I'm not sure about your critical thinking skills tbh. By all means be skeptical, but you, along with others, are so convinced by yourselves even though you only have second hand information from a small group of people. Not to mention all the other variables as I mentioned. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
