Colinjb Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 So if your foundations are crumbling but the rest of the house is okay, you just need a touch up isi? That analogy is better applied to Portsmouth F.C. circa 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 So you don't think Schneiderlin, Clyne (and Alderweireld, mentioned in the other linked post) were key men? OK. That's your opinion. Really think that there are some people on here who had issues in the damp bed department when they were little and now try to make up for that by asserting that anyone who actually shows any concern about what is happening has the same issues that they had when children. It's not as if we haven't known for months that they were off so it's safe to assume that replacements are already lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 I think the point was that it states we are being "forced" to "rebuild" again, which isn't that true. 1, we decided to well when the price and conditions were right; 2, buying 3 new players is not a rebuild, its a touch up. LOL. Of course replacing 3 key players (well I would consider Morgan and Toby as key, maybe not Clyne to the same extent) is a "touch up", a band-aid is it? Oh well, if you say so. Whether we knew about them leaving or not really doesn't make any difference to whether Ronald is "forced" to "rebuild" again. Fact is he is having to rebuild, that's why we have already brought in 4 new players and are looking for 1 or probably 2 more. Fact is there really wasn't much wrong with the 2 messages posted (ref Clasie and Krychowiak), and it certainly didn't warrant the infantile response about bed wetters again, which is my main bone of contention.

Saint86 Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Just thought I try and give come comparison height wise for where Clasie is with some famous names. Claise Height 1.69cm Historical Maradona - 1.65cm Vogts - 1.68cm Pele - 1.73cm Matthaus - 1.74cm Current Sanchez - 1.68cm Carzola - 1.68cm Shaqiri - 1.69cm Messi - 1.69cm Xavi - 1.70 cm Lahm - 1.70cm Ribery - 1.70cm Sneijder - 1.70 cm Inesita - 1.70 cm Mata - 1.70cm Di Natale - 1.70cm Arshavin - 1.72cm Wilshire - 1.72cm D Silva - 1.73cm Hazard - 1.73cm Ageruo - 1.73cm Mascherano - 1.74cm De Jong - 1.74cm Modric - 1.74cm Pirlo - 1.77cm I like that the taller they get the worse they get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just replaced 5 people out of a team of 30 at work (1 team leader, 2 SMEs and 2 longtime engineers), which is pretty similar percentages to what SFC have had to do with outfield staff. It wasnt a rebuild, it was simply people moving on and new people coming in. The team didnt crumble, they just got on with it. It's life. EDIT: Hold on, so the games where we missed Toby and Morgan last year were total write off as the KEY PLAYERS were missing and we had to rebuild the team during the week? no, of course they weren't, we simply drafted in other players and got on with it.

Hokie Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Are we talking Subbuteo? 1.69 cm is far too short. The player is likely to be killed when trod on during a match.

Cool. So you had no key people where you work. Lucky you. We are not replacing 3 out of 30, it is 2 from 10 (or 3 if you want to count Clyne). Who said anything about crumbling? Not me, but if you can't see that more than a band aid is needed when 2 key players (by far our best) are lost from the spine then really there is not much point in having a discussion. I guess I just need to pigeon hole you as a happy clapper, at least you don't show any symptons of incontinence.

Tom & Gerry Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 If you are not in the Champions league a team is for one season only. That's the way it is now unless you have no players good enough for the bigger clubs. It even happens to Liverpool. There is nothing you can do about it but plan to replace those that leave. Yes they were key players last season, others will need to step up and be key players this. If Clasie signs and is a success he we leave if not next season the season after. Teams have always evolved , just not this quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is how Jordy likes to travel, I love hovering on the water too! Not a big fan of eels though, oh well, each to their own!! Word on the street is, he's demanding a special clause that requires St Marys be flooded once a year, filled with eels and a hovercraft battle take place over top said eels (think coliseum, naval battles). Clasie will then dress as a Roman emperor and decide the fate of the losing hover-warriors. He's called the Nero of the Netherlands for a reason. No word on whether the eels must be electrified or man eating, or man earing electric eels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
