Because that's how he gets his kicks. And to my shame I bit. No because you got your knickers in a twist and spun what I had said. I haven't been negative in the slightest but yet again people have gone off on one because it's me and not because what I have written.

Here though all he's done is say the injury might be something to worry about. Which it might? It might. It might not. Was only ever gonna be one outcome with our friend Bayern, though. You've not read what I've wrote correctly then.

This could be an absolute master stroke of a signing. It could also be a disaster but at 650k it’s a gamble we had to make. We have seen 15m signings go absolutely tits up so this is a no brainer. The lad comes with glowing reports, and has potential to go far. It’s up to us as a club now to try and help him fulfil that potential. Come on Alfie lad The only thing that concerns me is if he plays tonight injured (I know he can’t play for the foreseeable before someone says )how would vokes keep up with him ?

Another exciting signing for me. Not all of these will come off, but they're much lower risk than the numerous £millions signings from recent years.

All I’m going to say is thank fook I wasn’t alongside you in the trenches owd.

I haven't been negative in the slightest but yet again people have gone off on one because it's me and not because what I have written. Your first two offerings on the subject - "Interesting given his injury status. Lets hope it doesn't affect him." Glowing praise indeed, and " He was meant to be fit by the end of Jan, then Feb, now April. That's alarm bells right there surely?" No mention of it being 'an exciting signing but a gamble' or even 'a gamble worth taking because of his potential' you simply put the blackest interpretation possible on his injury situation and downplayed the signing. When I questioned you, you then tempered your doom and gloom with a more balanced assessment and that now becomes the new truth which you of course have sworn by all along.

Pounced upon again for writing about something that is a definite concern and could actually fundamentally change him as a player. If you don't want to hear that then that's fine but it could happen. We all hope it doesn't because he does sound like what we've needed for years. But also if it has then we knew that it could. That is all.

What's wrong with the first one? I hope it doesn't affect him there's nowt wrong with that. I've said all that in the thread previously when I was told weeks ago he was going to be a Stoke player

He hasn't actually said that there's only one outcome though? Doom & Gloom. As one possibility. Unless you're saying that even to suggest it's a possibility is in itself poor form?

If we had done that 18 months ago this place would have been in meltdown. Now I'm not saying meltdown is the correct frame of mind but the "oooh positive, positive, everything will be fine" head in the sand mentality doesn't seem appropriate either.

Mr Miller paints a very complimentary picture as per the thrust of the article (one to watch type of thing). His out and out pace of course takes centre stage: " Pace is the first thing you notice about Doughty. Remarkable pace. Relentless pace. The sort of pace that makes defenders cower and do very silly things indeed. " (Yes please.) But is equally optimistic on his ability to improve his delivery after knocking out a 9.5 100m (my words, not the Athletic's) also. He is 100% worth the risk imo and 100% the type of player we should be looking at after all over priced / paid tossers who have dragged us down and continue to do so.

All I’m going to say is thank fook I wasn’t alongside you in the trenches owd. Why? Because he'd look at the whole picture and evaluate the situation rather than just bark and nod like everyone else? To be fair mate, bayern is a dick at times but he's done fuck all wrong here. It is coming across a bit like a vendetta on your part, whether that's the case or not. We all know he'll say something on some thread in the next 10 mins that you can go at him for, but not this. Wait for one of them, they're pretty damn regular

Spin? I haven't spun anything. He's got a bad injury. And injury that is known to affect players speed if it's bad. He's been out for ages suggesting it's bad. He's a player who's best attribute is pace. How the fuck is that spinning anything? It's a worry.

It’s an ongoing ‘debate’ we have. Bayern always looks for the negatives. It’s not balanced. It gets me down.😂

I'm on the same page as Bayern on this and I think his view is being taken out of context. Namely:
He's an exciting prospect.
ALL our FFP signings are gambles
His game relies on pace which he may or may not get back.
He's young enough that it is possible he will recover.
If we hadn't got him injured I doubt we could have afforded him.
We've taken a gamble and we hope it pays off as a long term replacement for McLean
So long as no one thinks we signed someone with no risk we will all wait to see how it pans out, but we haven't signed a young fit raring to go John Barnes.
That's fair enough.

He's exactly what we need if he comes back what he was. The key word there being "if".

Christ it doesn't take much to get you losing your head does it? I was referencing the fact you constantly spin what other people say to fit your agenda, like you did with me the other day, which is why it's ironic that you're complaining about someone doing it to you.
