DakotaVilla Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Comparing one of the best set piece takers in the world (as well as a very good player) to Conor Hourihane is like comparing ghazi to Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing against someone's right to say the same thing again and again, I just don't get it. If you think someone repeating that they think a player/rumour is shit multiple times a day for weeks on end gives life to a forum then we obviously have very different viewpoints. Personally, I think it works much better when people agree to disagree far earlier in the discussion unless they're making a new point or have seen some stats to support their assertion. For example, at some point I came to believe last summer's Rashica thread was complete bullshit. I still didn't feel the need to pop up 50 times a week saying 'this still open' or 'have there been any real links yet'. I just stopped reading it.

Wow that place still exists geez … thought they’d have disappeared up each other’s arseholes by now and living as one symbiotic mass online … Site gave me the creeps - cult like. I got banned for a rather expletive laden rant telling them how I saw it, which in hindsight was probs a tad OTT… Back on topic, I can easily see is signing Ward-Prowse as I can see how his fits the jigsaw perfectly. Not be too gutted if he doesn’t join though as it’s a lot of Ca£h and sure we have suitable alternatives in mind. I can also see a place for the opposite of JWP in Berge for his height and B2B ability. Interesting how the next 9 weeks will play out. Will we top our 2019/20 spend ?

We heard you first time, now it’s just boring. You chose to ridicule a more respected journalist and believe one discredited by Southampton fans themselves because it supported your narrative. Then you repetitively hammer that on here as if you are some form of Authority. I respect everyone’s right to an opinion, we got yours on the very first post, move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side of that is that if two people constantly repost the same opinion in response to a differing one then the forum would become an infinite loop of two opposing opinions and therefore completely unfit for purpose. There needs to be a balance, an understanding when the point has been made and repetition actually stifles the debate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This has gone very quiet, that’s if there was any genuine noise to begin with. Maybe Kiwi was right or maybe this will resurface later on in the window. Really don’t know if we were actually interested and we never placed a bid. Only player we have bid for recently is Smith-Rowe… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Don’t know, even doubt, whether there was any genuine interest. It is silly season now and a lot of speculation, rumours and (fake) links are going to come up. It just would be great for us to have a specialist set piece taker that can also contribute in play. It would take a massive fee to prise JWP away… maybe we will place a bid later on in the window. There have to be good alternatives out there. Alvarez is supposed to be good at free kicks? Prob best to lock this up for now… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
