Wow.

This is just a mirror of this thread the last time we had ITK about McCarthy. Amazing how quickly you get fed up with cabbage but have no problem boring the world solid by regurgitating the same guff about the same players every time their name is mentioned. Its like watching a bunch of performing seals honking and clapping.

Now be good little lemmings and take your valued thoughts to the players thread for I care little about what goes on there.

Here…...

Sounds like we are due a new fruit and veg based cryptic to keep this Hamster Wheel turning...

When are people going to start understanding, its about building a 'team' and putting in the appropriate pieces to build it - instead wanking over individual names.

What about you and MS and now McCarthy. You are one of the worst "if the manager wants X individual then we should go all out and wank our hearts out over him" merchants.

Fuck me Pinky you're one of the worst offenders!! Remember Dembele?? You were all over that transfer, wouldn't shut the fuck up about how good he was, how much you liked him, how good he'd be for us etc. You did the same last year over Poch when FDB was available.

You do have a habit of hanging your hat on an individual and then never letting up about it mate - considering we don't quite know as much about these players as we think we do it might be better to take a more relaxed attitude shall we say....


Like what I say on here has any real bearing on reality and what we do lol. Listen I have an opinion on who I like. Am I always right? No certainly not, probably get more wrong. Sometimes signings work out, sometimes they don't.

What are you bringing up the Poch/FDB thing for? Most people on here had a strong preference for one or the other and its like you're implying that he's failed after one season!

I happen to rate the player, but it doesn't really fucking matter what I think, does it? It matters what the Club and Pochettino think. If that happens to align then that's good enough for me.

Hope that's okay with you though.

I only just saw this because I've been in my room with a box of tissues and my life size Paul Robinson cardboard cut out.

err... never?

You've both missed the point I'm afraid.

I didn't call him uninspiring - I said it would be one of the most uninspiring 'big money' signings we'd ever made.

If we were picking him up for about £8m, I'd still be largely indifferent because I simply don't think he's a particularly good player, and we've signed endless amounts of fairly decent blokes over the last few years and we're constantly looking for ways to get rid of them very soon afterwards.

For £15m+ I think it's a ridiculous transfer, and the only reason he costs that's much is the fact that he's 'homegrown'.

I'm not after signing Pogba - fortunately I never said anything like it or even hinted at it either so where either of you picked that up from to load into the saddle bags of your high horses I don't know. The idea of saying 'I don't get it it's about building a team' is laughable.

If you'd said in May that our biggest signing of the summer was going to be James Plodding McCarthy, SC would've gone into meltdown. By now, of course, the usual suspects have begun convincing themselves that it wouldn't be so bad after all, despite the fact that he's demonstrably no better than Bentaleb or Mason, and is a world away from the likes of Morgan S in terms of ability.

Well done for assuming me commenting on the mentality of SC members means I want to spend £30m on Jesus Midfieldos though :rolleyes:
Who cares what he costs. If he's a good player get him in. Benteke isn't worth 32 million but Liverpool will be stronger with him. City are stronger with sterling, but 49 million is laughable. Just got to get the right players in and if we overpay so be it

Usual Suspect am I now? :cautious:

...and for the record...I just googled Jesus Midfieldos and there's no such player. I suspect you made him up :whistle:

It's happened before; coincidentally with a GK with the same first name who a lot of people got very excited about. Turned out he was weak on crosses.

You complain when we are talking cabbage. You complain when we aren't.

You, sir, are the definition of a Spurs fan!

I didn't complain once! I took note of the cabbage hissyfitters and put a stop to it in my official capacity as ****-in-chief, but i'm actually a big fan of the cabbage cryptics. If Rob sees fit to post it, then who am I to argue? :D

Calm down Pinky! The what I says doesn't count argument isn't addressing the point is it? You could've just applied that to people who want 'fancy names'. Point is you called people out on their preferences for individual players whilst doing exactly the same yourself!

Jeez-for such a routine player and not a particularly exciting one, McCarthy has got some people more worked up on SC than he's probably ever been able to at football match!
