Gene_Clark 12 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Looks can be deceiving. Remember amdy faye. Big, black, athletic but fucking useless. Let's not get carried away until we see what all the new signings are like in the premier league. 4 black French players, possibly Muslim; presses all your fascist fuckwit buttons doesn't it? you filthy EDL loving cunt; get away from my club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No, I'm being realistic. I'd bet very few people on here have any clue what these players are like and nobody knows how they'll adapt to the English game. I've seen too many players over the years who've failed to live up to expectations to get carried away, like many on here at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen too many players over the years who've failed to live up to expectations to get carried away, like many on here at the moment. It's realistic to suggest that because Amdy Faye was an athletic black man, all of our new signings who are of the same skin colour might also be shite? Wouldn't it be simpler to say - we've signed many shit players over the years, these new players might also be shite? Mike Williamson isn't good enough, should we not sign anymore tall white players then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 We've signed significantly more white players who were shit than black... so what has colour got to do with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No, but if you look at this and other threads it was a case of french-check, black-check, athletic-check etc. Which is the profile of the players we've been signing for a number of reasons People seem to be jumping to conclusions that they'll all be Patrick Vieras and I'm pointing out that that is not the case. As past experience has shown. I'm well aware that Williamson is not good enough at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Laughton, Mike Larnach, Alex Bruce, Paul Sweeney, Archie Gourlay, Malcolm Brown, John Ryan, Billy Whitehurst, George Reilly, Ray Clarke, Bobby Shinton, Ian Davies, Roy Aitken, Glenn Keeley - all white; all shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh even Xisco and Luque aren't relevant, as Graham Carr has completely changed the way we scout players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bictor 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 In the 'Graham Carr era' none of our major signings have flopped, so I really don't see why he would refer back to Amdy Faye in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30619 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think people are just happy we're actually signing players. I am, for one. Like many on here I'm no aficionado on French football but I've heard no bad reports about the players we've signed so the additional choices available to the manager can only be good in my book. Looking at it optimistically, if half the players we sign in this window turn out to be first team quality then it has been reasonable money very well spent.

@yourservice 67 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Judging by what we've been served up with this season, they're first team quality now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 877 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Rozenhal, Nacho Gonzalez, Smith, Pattison for some other white plums from recent years, besides the aforementioned Xisco and Luque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Personally I'm delighted with Debuchy, Mbiwa and Sissoko (if the latter signs), I'm pleased with the noises coming out of people who are clued up on French Football about the others as well. However, I temper my enthusiasm because Luque came with fanfares, as did Gavilan and Pistone. Haidara and Gouffran could be great, average or hypercrap, but I've faith in Carr to find the right men. If they do turn out to be poor acquisitions I'd still look back on this window and feel we came out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
