Is there anything more tedious than people presenting what is clearly a subjective position as being "objective" and using this supposed objectivity as a basis to berate anyone with a different view as stupid?

Reading amongst online comments (I know) that Stuttgart fans think that since we triggered the buy back option, there is a clause that means we can only sell to them in this window.

Not a patch on Cristian Baz, that's for sure.

Because he passes to someone else who then gets the assist, to have the vision to start off an attack or to retain possession under pressure. What's the value of a midfielder who is good at passing - really? He was always the first pass out of defence and forward. He's rarely in a position to...

Billy should do better defensively. His role was never to be shooting all the time, but admittedly he's not good at that either. How does he compare in passing stats? Cherry picking a few stats that show him in a bad light doesn't show the full picture.

Given his goalscoring record surely we should be looking for more than 2m for him. Try to break even on our 7m outlay and be done with it imo, even if that's not with Rangers.

Less than we sold Dan Burn for several years ago. Burn was a much more limited player than Gilmour. There is nobody else at the club with the range of passing that Billy provided, he's always on the move, always calling for the ball and orchestrating play. He's regularly Scotland's best player...

The NSC hivemind is a strange thing, we've seen it many times on many threads. Maybe it's just something inherent on social media. At the start of the thread we were all outraged by the small fee being proposed for a PL experienced, well-performing, if physically limited player. A few posters...

"No chance! The kid is good." Or "No chance that the kid is good." ?

Think that would be a great option. Given Hurzeler's formation and all the added competition this summer, he will be a bench option at best and that won't help him much. We already know, one good season at Feyenoord and suddenly you're worth £35m. Or even better, he'd come back ready to be a...

Not forgetting about a page worth of debate about whether you can use "herd" for sheep. The problem is that it's just so lazy and fills up the whole thread with no information. If you're not going to put any effort into your sheep puns you might as well just fuc-kofta.

20-somethings in a famous resort town in Spain spend their evening out having drinks. Hold the press! They can do their rehab work and then spend their free time however they like. Not sure how you've managed to draw so many conclusions about them from a single photo.

The rest of the squad got an all expenses paid trip to Japan. Maybe the choice of Marbella softens the blow of missing out on that due to injury (not to mention the expert treatment available).

Weird. Leonard, off the back of two seasons of excellent performance on loan, being one of the best midfielders in L1, looks to be going to L1 Birmingham at a cut down price. Chouchane, who has yet to do anything beyond being in and out of our U23/21 team, despite being at the club for many...

I don't get that logic. We're talking about professional high performance athletes, not just a bunch of guys who like to go to the gym. Leaving them to their own devices for fitness and conditioning risks them doing the wrong things, being lazy, injuring themselves or at the very least being...

It would be great but I don't think this one is on. He's ready for a big club that will pay him a shit load. We're the stepping stone club to that level, he's already had his stepping stone at Fenerbahce and proved himself at the Euros. We won't be his showcase if he's already had a showcase.

Supposedly they rejected €40m from Bayern already but that might be hearsay. We're really splashing the cash this window but I suppose it makes sense. We are operating from a position of PSR strength in a market which as a result is less competitive. Get your purchases in before your sales so...

They'd take them to the nearest embassy for that.

I would be surprised unless we have another left footed CB lined up. The only areas we look potentially s bit short are LCB and RB. Having said that, if we have someone else coming in and we can make our money back on him I wouldn't be against this one.

We've been quietly gathering some elite level global young talent, and nobody has taken notice of it because of our poor end to last season. Verbruggen, Barco, Enciso, Ferguson, João Pedro, Buonanotte, Yalcouye, Cozier Duberry, Minteh, Baleba, Hinshelwood, Sarmiento, Rushworth, Beadle, Moran...
