You're welcome to continue arguing if you want, but you're wrong 🙂 6ft1 says the internet. Which is pretty tall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You're welcome to continue arguing if you want, but you're wrong 🙂 I see, so if you're tall but not really strong, like Crouch was or someone like Jon Stead for example, then you aren't a big man up top? What would you call them? Thin men up top? How about Spindly men up top? Yeah Akinfenwa is a great example of someone who isn't tall. Well done, you've checkmated me there with that one 🤦♂️ As strength is the most important factor in your opinion, then Akinfenwa would be the best Big man up top in the world right? Cos he is widely regarded as the strongest player in football or certainly one of them, and that is the most important attribute? It's funny, you mentioned holding the ball up and bringing others into play earlier, and someone like Aguero is excellent at that, but he's neither strong nor tall, and I suspect you wouldn't call him a big man up top, despite the fact that his abilities lend themselves to the things you believe are most important for that role. I wonder why you wouldn't call him that though? 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

Better things to do with my evening! I replied to Wilson earlier, and you took issue with what I'd said, effectively telling me I was completely wrong. I don't remember you discussing anything. So stop being argumentative, then crying about it when you don't really have a point to make at all, and end up looking a bit silly as a result. Enjoy your action packed evening. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

While I often disagree with things you say, at least usually I can see where you're coming from. This one though; this one is just flat out bad. This is Brunners having a discussion apparently. No explanation of why what I said was wrong, just that it was flat out bad. If only everyone could discuss things like this eh? Link to post Share on other sites

CWC 383 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 They aren’t half taking their time to announce Crooks. A few others were supposedly close earlier this week as well but still nothing as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites
