It was a £2m player to pad out a squad because we needed to buy like 14 new players that summer. He probably played as well as a £2m player was going to play (ignoring the anomalies like McGinn). Actually, Gardner moved the other way so it was basically a free seeing that we weren't going to play Gardner anyway. Wesley - i agree, even without his injury i don't think he'd ever be a £20m player in the Premier League. Engels - He was ok for us at the start, we even named him and Mings "Mingels". Then he progressively got worse, not sure why. So maybe a C/D rating? Yeah I was debating whether to include Jota as he was quite inexpensive and I don’t think we were really expecting too much from him, as you say squad filler. He wasn’t as bad a signing as Samatta for instance but he wasn’t as a good signing as, say, El Ghazi in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one on VT should stick their head above the parapet and start a new thread if they're not man enough to deal with the consequences. It's one of the reasons why I haven't started the Polka Dance thread in off topic... YET 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get so much love in that thread. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Weird as hell thread Some strange definitions of record signing being used, strange way to group rankings and then Martinez low down and Kodjia above Watkins lol.

AvonVillain Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Next there'll be a thread exclusively for all the women on here. Like many, stopped at the ranking system..... it's been explained and I'm still clueless. Could this be a salient lesson on the importance of clear communication on a public forum, I wonder?

Just think of S as A*. It's basically the same principal. Like many, I tuned out after seeing Emi in B class. In what universe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically, A* makes perfect sense, as does A+ or B- or what have you. It doesn't take a seconds thought to figure out such a grading system and what it indicates, as it is logical. A slight level above / a slight level below. It doesn't make sense to ascribe the 19th letter of the alphabet to the highest possible mark. None. It would help if the randomly chosen letter had a certain authority or look, perhaps like an X, for example, but, this 'system' even foregoes that. My apologies for being an old man shouting at fast trains on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
