Hafnia 7,021 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Implicit bias. Again. Do you not understand this concept? You hate him, therefore your eyes tell you something different than what is actually happening. "My memory and judgment" means nothing anywhere against facts, which in this case, the facts are that he scores a fair number of goals with his right foot and that he is not nearly the one-dimensional player you make him out to be. He often has a shit first touch and doesn't hold the ball up as well as you'd like someone as strong and powerful as him to hold it up. He's also a complete and utter shithead. But that doesn't change the fact that you're delusional. Do us a favour... break up your posts into paragraphs. nyblue23 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cornish Steve 3,134 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) They'll announce it at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow - it'll be worth more to them. Their stock hasn't really gone anywhere for years. Look at the pattern, though: Buy in January, sell in July, and make your money. (Put another way, lots of preseason promise, then realism kicks in around Christmas.) http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/manu/stock-chart?intraday=off&timeframe=4y&splits=off&earnings=off&movingaverage=None&lowerstudy=volume&comparison=off&index=&drilldown=off If Everton were traded publicly, the stock would be soaring right now.

Newty82 2,966 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Looks to have all the attributes physically which is a great start, there have been many players who have had these attributes who just never made what they should have done, with players up to and including the likes of adriano. We have Anichebe who let's face it is a tremendous athlete, as is Joseph Yobo. I'm sure if you looked at Nyarko you would say the same. Beckford at Leeds is a strong pacey player, but by all accounts needs a few chances to score. The biggest test is mentality, to be a Drogba you need to be a winner, someone with ice in their veins who can finish when only getting one or two chances a game - or when the pressure is high. This I think is when they reach the 'will they, won't they' stage - to spend £15m before then is a gamble. Drogba was a very late developer in terms of reaching his potential - Chelsea spent £25m plus on a proven european goalscorer. Got to say though, seeing someone of this type of promise is what keeps the game great, I hope we can get some sort of deal arranged where payments are based on achievements, certainly having an iconic Belgian playing for us will mean that he knows who we are. The only way we are going to have a true world class under 25 striker playing for us is if we bring them through the ranks or we take a gamble on someone like him. As happens when a post gets moved, I end up back on page one. First post is Romey saying we have no chance of signing him. A few posts down is Haf's first post on the then 16 year old prodigy. If only we knew what was about to unfold.... Sibdane and markjazzbassist 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The S*n is what it's always been, it assumes it's readers have the reading ability of a ten year old (and the same level of intellectual development) so they write as if they're talking to kids and make no apology for it.

Isaiah 276 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 A lot I think. United create a lot of chances in and around the box, they just haven't had anyone clinical to put them away recently. Falcao, Rashford, Lingard, Martial and an unpredictable Ibra wasted so many chances and led to so many 0-0 draws against lower league teams. Rom will put many of those away. I think Kane will win the golden boot again but Rom will push him close and take 2nd place. My predication for him is between 20 and 25 league goals. Link to post Share on other sites
