Will 2,958 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Can you imagine how some on here would react if we were linked with Van Dijk, another towering defender 😱 Link to post Share on other sites

Conveniently missed out the rest of my post there, where i said "from the outside" and explained why it looks that way and that I hope he will have developed and will step up. Do you work for the sun by any chance? Link to post Share on other sites

How have you interpreted that as him writing off the individual? There is a dig about the style of football in there, certainly! But I wouldn't classify that as writing off the player. It's true, I very much doubt we would be signing him if he wasn't 6ft5. And from what I've read, Northampton don't play very much football so we don't have too much knowledge of his footballing ability. That doesn't mean that he isn't going to be a good player for us.

Do you work for the sun by any chance? And how much looking have you actually done? You posted it within minutes of the story appearing, you've literally formed an opinion based on his height and that you don't like Warnock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No, I looked at his career path and attributes- that's all I can really do. That's what being on the outside is. I haven't made a judgement, I've said that that's what it looks like based on the above and warnocks preference. Again, I did not write him off. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not the only one who interpreted what you said as writing him off, given other peoples posts and 7 likes on my original post reacting to it. If you didn't mean to write him off, maybe try being more clear. Link to post Share on other sites
tmcc 583 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) i like this signing tbh, 500-750k in this day and age is peanuts for a player, also coming from league 2 will mean his wage demands will be nothing . futhermore, lets say it dosent work out, were very likely to get our money back when selling him on so the risk isnt that high. secondly, the player is only 24, sometimes players have to drop down a level or 2 to find themselves and come back better, just have to be positive that this is the case with this guy, and from his performance last season and the interest being shown its likely that they'res something to this guy.

Doesn't look like it's sinking in... People are judging the style of football we will be playing next year, not the individuals... Link to post Share on other sites
