The Football News Thread 2015/16 - everything non-Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

McDonald only has his range of passing that's any good. You can criticise all other areas of his game the same way you have. He's still a bloody good midfielder and worth around the same £4m as Lansbury.

Who said I rate McDonald especially highly?

 

[The Bear]

It's just a similar player for comparison in which you can level the same sort of criticisms. Both are good players though and worth around the same amount.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If someone offered £2m for Kev I'd snap their hand off, let alone double that.

 

[The Bear]

There's no way we'd sell him for less than £3-4m IMO.

Coady wasn't worth £2m but that's what we had to pay.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yes, but that's not the point, is it. You're trying to convince me Lansbury is a cracking midfielder and using one of our own midfielders who I don't think is that good as a comparison probably won't work.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Apparently Fawaz is saying its off..

 

[The Bear]

Yes, but that's not the point, is it. You're trying to convince me Lansbury is a cracking midfielder and using one of our own midfielders who I don't think is that good as a comparison probably won't work.

Well I rate McDonald a lot higher than you, and I think Lansbury is at a similar level. Macca was my POTS last season.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He wouldn't have got in the top five.

Out of interest (and I hate playing this card, but there you go) how many games did you see?

 

[The Bear]

Around ten or so with Sky games.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Then I don't think you can really name a player of the season.

 

[The Bear]

Ok, he was the best player I saw all season if you want to be pedantic.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Which games? Because I had him as MOTM in a total of 0 games last season.

 

[Lycan]

Then I don't think you can really name a player of the season.

I'm sorry but that's rubbish IMO.

I agree with you on Lansbury though, I have no idea why Dyche has been so fixated on him the past few transfer windows. Personally, if I was going to sign a Forest midfielder it'd be Ben Osborn.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

What's rubbish? That if you've only seen a fraction of games you can't nominate a player of the season for the entire season? That seems entirely reasonable to me.

Here's the latest Beyoncé album - you can only listen to three out of the twelve. Give me your best track of the album.

 

[Alan]

Yes but by making it Beyonce you're just wasting everybody's time.

 

[Lycan]

They're all shite.

Seriously though, last season I went to 16 games, the first time I've been to more than 4 or 5 over a full season. I don't think that put me in a better position to nominate a POTS than the year before, you can form a perfectly valid opinion without attending every game.

 

[Alan]

Plastics ay we

 

[machin05]

I don't trust my own judgment based on TV coverage.

I wasn't having a go at you, was I.

It was Bear saying McDonald was our best player with some kind of authority when actually no, he wasn't and in any case he couldn't say either way.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Managed 10 games live plus 2 or 3 others via Sky last year, plus enough match reports from those I have met & would respect the opinion of to accept their view of performance to formulate a view on who was POTS.

Hopefully this doesn't descend into a 'you don't go to enough games so have no valid view discussion.
