If you take a scatter-gun approach you're bound to hit the odd target.

I don't rate Kone anyway. He'd certainly be 5th choice striker is he came here. He's only 3rd choice at Seville.

Yaya Toure? Keita? Bacary Sagna?
If you put together a side of recommendations from SK (and I appreciate you have a lot to choose from) you get a better side than we currently have at the Lane.
Not that I'm suggesting he should be let loose in the transfer market. Dear Christ, no. But he does know some good talent.
On Taiwo though...no, ta. Unnecessary and from the little I've seen, far from the best option available. I'd rather pay 10m for Hutton than 2m for Taiwo. Thats the gulf in class we're talking about.

true, but come ANC we'd be fooked lol
i have doubts about signing anyone from france tbh. BAE, zokora and kaboul (i kind of rate him but needs to improve) have not been money well spent so far

Conversely, if you put together a side that included the likes of Djimi Traore, Djerbil Cissé, Emerson Fae, Romaric and M'banga Katanga-Katanga you'd have a team a lot worse than we currently have at the Lane. :grin:

So, seeing as you just saw this thread and decided to post what you think of SK rather than actually read his post, or any of the thread that followed.
Did you just come in here to say that, or did you have an opinion on what he posted?
Makes you laugh - SK sucks because he has an opinion, yet everyone else here is awesome because they don't and have just wasted a few seconds of their life just to come in here and knock him...
Whose more pathetic, the man who stands up and states his belief, or those who choose to knock him down with all the grace and vocabulary of cavemen and with no reason other than not agreeing with what he's said?
You wouldn't treat Dougal, Ray, A&C or BO with this kind of bullshit if they suggested someone you didn't rate, so how about you all grow up a bit - a ribbing is fair enough, but the meaningless tirade of insults that inevitably follow every post SK makes is wearing thin.

The ideas and beliefs of cavemen changed over time as their knowledge increased. The blind ignorance of someone who (excessively) states their belief but never properly explains anything and gives the same tired responses ( if any response at all) and refuses to be educated by others is in my book more pathetic.

thank you -
and you don't think to apply this to the regulars who have just jumped on the SK bandwagon? Those who, with "blind ignorance", choose to "state their belief" that SK is a cock, but "Never properly explains anything" as to why they dislike the current thread because they're so quick to jump in with "the same tired responses" without reading it first.
This is a forum, not a shooting gallery - some people obviously can't see the line...

If you are just jumping on the bandwagon then yes, you are not much better, but the bandwagons been rolling for a very long time now and sadly shows no sign of steamrollering SK's blatantly biased, racist and frankly idiotic views. You yourself are one of many people who have tried to get a response out of him and explained yourself in the process. But surely you know you are wasting your time? Why dont you try to explain the concept of a forum to SK? I dont agree with most of the abuse he gets (I know i'm the main offender!!!) but if you are simply going to post your views and not return to answer questions raised, but then start another similar thread you should prepare yourself to bear the brunt of peoples frustrations.

Come on, be realistic. Spursking loves it. Either that or he has a very short memory. It isn't as if he's starting a new thread that he feels he is raising something worth disscussing. He is starting a thread he knows full well will cause a stir. Taiwo is not a new Spursking subject and nor are the other players he has mentioned. Just do a simple search, type under username Spursking, then search word Taiwo, then click the posts rather than threads option and finally press search. You'll find numerous threads on exactly the same subject, with Spursking making the same point and getting the same reaction. As much as people like to have a pop at him, he likes to give them the bait. Eg, these 2 threads from the last month:

If you try to look back at the players we bought before - with no director in charge of transfers - like Arnesen and Comolli.
We did so many bad buys in the past, and did not think about the future of the Club. We only bought mostly overpriced players with no special attributes. We did sign players like Austin, Perry, Thatcher, Richards, Ferdinand, Sherwood, etc... All players was overpriced.
Were you happy with those signings? Did you think that those players would make us a top 4 side?
Think about that for a while.....
What is wrong with suggestions like Romaric, Taiwo, Makoun, Cheikh, Mensah, etc......
Compared to the players mentioned that we actually have signed in the past, those players that I recommend are far better deals.
Just think about it. It is a point.

You have never even come close to suggesting a player as good as Sir Les, and we got Ginola as well. What you have suggested is the same quality of players you have mentioned above - except you have suggested their Ligue 1 counterparts.
Your hundreds of suggestions will occasionally yield good results, but with the same frequency as pulling names out of a hat.
Cheers for your suggestions but have a look at the number of people telling you that the players you suggest are mediocre and think about what that tells you.

There is nothing wrong with suggesting these players. If you were able to provide a detailed analysis of why they would be useful signings people might take you seriously. You never do.
Yup, we bought some rubbish in the old days, but we also bought Kanoute and Keane. And they were almost certainly coach Hoddle, rather than DoF Pleat, signings.
And it now turns out that it was Ramos who bought Kanoute for Sevilla, not his DoF, Monchi.
I increasingly think the DoF system is a bit of a red herring. I'm not sure a DoF is doing anything an outstanding Chief Scout couldn't do. The key is always: i) correct judgement of a player's quality; and ii) correct judgement of a player's ability to play in the coach's team, ideally immediately. A good DoF can help this process, as can a good Chief Scout.
Whereas a DoF with crap judgement can sabotage a club...
