You don’t go around instigating stuff? It’s impossible to take you seriously when you come up with comments like this. You tag me and take potshots at me and my opinions at least three or four times a week. I never try to deny you your right to an opinion…. In fact, when you’re not tagging me I pretty much leave you alone. If you didn’t tag me multiple times a week, we’d probably have no interaction, let alone arguments. So stop the passive aggressive crap and just be real, because you are the one who can’t hack other people’s opinions around here, and you are the instigator of almost every argument we have on here…. Often dragging my hand into threads I’m not even actively participating in st the time…. Just so you can get back slaps from your buddies. .
Your arguments are disingenuous, to be honest….you’re arguing with me about things I never said. I have acknowledged repeatedly that we can’t make players come here, or stay, but it is Gus and Ciraldo’s job to sell them their vision for the club and convince them to come, or stay…. As the case may be.
As soon as Ciraldo got here, all the talk was about him going hard for Crichton…. A centre. It was abundantly clear the areas we were in most need of addressing were the forwards and spine, and he zeros in on a centre. Is it any wonder players don’t want to come here when the coach can’t even prioritise the positions we are most lacking in, or decide what his best 17 should be?
All you guys come up with are excuses… we had injuries, players weren’t buying in, can’t sign players if they don’t want to sign… blah blah.
All clubs cop horror injury runs at times. The fact we got worse rather than improving when they came back is a huge red flag. We have posters like RFM, who has worked his way back from multiple career threatening injuries. He’s clearly not afraid of hard work, but Ciraldo couldn’t get him to want to work hard for him…. Red flag. We constantly miss players we identify as targets, and struggle to convince players we need to stay, then Gus complains about the player market. Huge red flag. Could you imagine Nick Politis letting a player he needed go, or failing to recruit in key positions that needed strengthening and just shrugging his shoulders and saying they didn’t want to come?
It’s a massive cop out, fam. When the best administrators need to strengthen a position, they get things done. In the past Gus has gotten things done and he hasn’t been getting things done, which suggests two things, as far as I’m concerned:
*His coach is struggling to convince incoming and outgoing players of his vision; and
*His heart really isn’t in this job. He’s just collecting a pay cheque, imo. Probably still salty about getting shafted for Anderson in the late 80s.
Now if you don’t agree with this point of view, you have every right to your opinion. But constantly calling me out and insulting me, then saying you’re not instigating and I have an ego is just absurd, lafam. I don’t get how you can make a claim like that with a straight face lol
