So basically you can't stand being criticized, therefore you pull back to offensive talk and more accusations. Well, I don't mind. Do as you please.
Milanbuf88 said it best. Let's be completely honest here: you're a terrible judge of players, since all you know is base your limited and definitive judgement on hunches, recent form or one match. Indeed, one game is enough to transform you from an ardent supporter to a hater, bombarding us with big words like "diabolical" etc. Then, when your inconsistency reaches a stage where you're open to criticism, you play the "cliques", "freedom of speech" or "disgusted" card. But please, indulge me with another insulting post, try to be even less objective...
I was very unhappy with this thread - I still see zero point in taking a debate from one thread and starting a whole new war in another, but my real frustrations were not with this, but with Milan, and I took it out on you guys.
I don't think I am a terrible judge of players, with all due respect, my lovely Filippo.
My judgements on the new signings pre-season have been mostly borne out I feel:
I ached for Bacca, and now you see why, surely.
I reallty wanted Adriano, and now you see why, surely.
Didn't want Romagnoli, and he's been weak at best.
Got Bertolacci wrong - he's been feeble.
Was crushed by the ambition of getting Kucka - he's been average (standing out in a pitiful team), exactly what we expected.
Balo - well, I still can't stand him but he's shown that usual honeymoon period of form. That'll tail off soon enough.
PS my dear chums - I never insulted anyone - I did use aggressive language but I don't think what I said merited the personal attacks at me here. And furthermore using aggressive language is only offensive if you choose to be offended. I never personally attacked anyone.
I will say this though - a member, who quit this forum some time ago, did so because of this kind of thread - the same topics circling around again and again - once Mike closed new members, new ideas were lost. So we were left to have the same arguments over, and over, and over again, with no new input or fresh perspective. I understand why they've gone now.
We're arguing the same crap again and again and it's a borderline tautology. Han, bless him, turns everything into Mexes Zapata. I whine about Alex. Filippo complains about snap judgements. Yadda yadda.
It's all the same debates packaged in slightly different rhetoric.
This forum is reflecting the club - stale, unable to move on, can't develop, and is locked in a loop of repeated endless arguments about the same basic things.
