Chris Baird

[keaton]

The fact we can do better, or do you think Chris Baird is the best defender in the world!?

That's not a fact. Due to budget/requirements/etc maybe WE can't do better

 

[B.W.]

So if we were linked to, lets say, Brede Hangeland, you would say "we could do better" as, I think we'll agree, he's not the best defender in the world?

No, you asked which bit of my post was FACT. I told you. It was the bit about we can do better.

And, yes, I am correct in saying it is a FACT that we can do better. Do you understand, or are you still struggling?

 

[B.W.]

How do you UTILISE the pace of a CENTRE BACK? A wing back, yes. But a CENTRE BACK?

See El Abd vs Vydra example. Or is that too hard for you to understand too?

Oh, and resale value is also a consideration. We were after Dick Van Dyke not so long ago. What has changed?

He jumped into a painting, got involved with some penguins. Hasn't been the same since.

I sincerely hope you're wrong.

but we can't afford Terry (the best defender in the world)

LoL!

You've completely lost it. You said it was a "fact" we could do better. You then clarified the "FACT" aspect was because Chris Baird is not the best defender in the world so, technically, we could do better.


So what you're saying is you added the word "FACT" to confirm for us all that your belief that Chris Baird was not the best defender in the world is true?

Well, I'm glad you clarified that for us.

Hmmm. I thought it was Chris Baird.

I sincerely hope you're wrong.

Is that a FACT?

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

See El Abd vs Vydra example. Or is that too hard for you to understand too?

That's not UTILISING your pace is it. Do you understand what "utilising" means?

Genuine question.

Eh? I haven't 'lost it'.

Look, I hope we don't sign Chris Baird. We can do better. I hope that's not too arrogant for you.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

We may as well never have a thread on a potential player....unless they are the single best player in that position in the world.

All B.W will do is say "we can do better. Fact".

And technically, he would be correct.

I think football is too hard for you to understand. And almost certainly English.

How would you resolve that by having one quicker centre-back? It makes no sense.

How about Thiago Silva?

We should sign Usain Bolt. It would never have happened. Gus would have seen the danger and subbed off Adam for Usain and utilised Usains pace as a new strength to the team.

It's really very very simple.

 

[Stat Brother]

We play to our strengths, which would change with more pace.

All of our defense is 'of an age', and they play that way.

There's no reason why in 18 months time our back line won't be:-

Chicksen - Dallison - Dunk - Whoever.

It certainly won't be:-

Ward - Greer - Upson - Bruno.


So why bring in someone now, who doesn't fit either set up?

 

[B.W.]

Is that a FACT?

No, it's a hope, as I said.

 

[B.W.]

That's not UTILISING your pace is it. Do you understand what "utilising" means?

Genuine question.

How patronising! Do you know what that means!?

All B.W will do is say "we can do better. Fact".

Which is why I UTILISED the extreme example of 'best in world' to hammer home my point. Still struggling?
