shandypants Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So who do we think will be this year's signing that the OwlsTalk masses definitely don't want "because he is gash" but is hailed as a "quality signing" when we buy him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have happened in reverse with Rhodes, but back to your question, I'd wager it will be Hanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Don't know but poor old Pudil was a great permanent signing / then sh 1t / a waste of money / then playing fantastic as part of a solid back 4 / then back to crap and single-handedly costing us promotion, according to the concensus on here. Meantime Carlos struggles again to point out that we win as a team, and we lose as a team, and it's not about singling out individuals, who will all have good weeks and bad, at different points of the season.

Holmowl Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 The Ince thread is an amazing example. If we buy him, he is a cert to be a fan favourite, but right now he is arogant, inconsistent and not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Harlee Dean. Or maybe some random foreign player. Jota may go the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Unless you pay absolute top dollar, you don't get consistent top quality performances. Consistent top performers cost so much more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're hearing differing views its not like its a bipolar fan changing his mind all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1867 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Lewis mcgugan happened in reverse too. Everyone was happy to sign him, something goes off behind the scenes and all of a sudden he's not good enough, doesn't train, doesn't like football anymore etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top quality Championship player. He and Carlos should sort out their differences. McGugan can be a matchwinner on his day, and he needs help to get his head right, and get back on track.

Though, without going back thru 10,000 threads, I am sure Rhodes has gone from God to Dog in 23 games, from the same posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I think someone ought to make a strenuous effort this morning, to instigate a divide, to prove bi-polarism on here. Then we can spend the rest of the summer arguing the to ss rather than watching grass grow. Edited May 28, 2017 by theowlsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I guess there is always a little bit of "hoping we can do better" when we are chasing a particular player Then comes the realisation that we can't and you start to look for positives in the signing When it works the other way, it's perhaps harder to explain Edited May 28, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
