    Wilson a better goal scorer but doesn't offer much else and is off form at the moment. Isak makes us a much harder side to handle due to his movement.

    Think part of our stagnation during January and February was down to lack of variation. Howe is now being forced into changes and its making us more unpredictable and harder to plan for.

    Should switch Burn for Targett next just to see whether it improves our attacking down the left.

    Reading reports that isak is now living up to his fee .. I must've been right before Wolves and Forest.

    The theory of the multiverse states that there is an infinite number of universes with infinite possibilities, so in some far out universe you are right, but it ain't this one.

    Just to check your understanding what was my position before Wolves?

    You said he was a waste of money, most of us saw signs and asked for patience. You didn't accept that posiiton.

    So where exactly have you read ‘reports’ stating he is ‘NOW living up to his fee.’ .

    Excluding anything you may have written.

    No, you said he was a complete waste of money. Multiple times.

    I think the terms "made of thin air" and "adds nothing" may also have been mentioned. But obviously we don't need to factor that in because CC said "so far", so therefore he must be right.

    No I did not bit this proves your lack of understanding in the 1st place mate.

    I'll clear it up and of you maintain your argument I will supply the screenshots if necessary.

    I said so far he's been a complete waste of money and several times made it plain he's obviously got ability.

    I also said he was made of thin air and I maintain that .. he's as skinny as a rake.

    You don't need to provide screenshots cos everyone clearly remembers what you said.

    So far is very important in the context of my view. What you can't do is just ignore them and imply I said something completely different.

    No you were just on the wind up then and you knew you were Royston.

    Sadly "complete waste of money" is an absolute statement, and doesn't give you much room to weasel out of.

    So far is a very important two words I'm sorry if you don't see the huge difference.

    Anyway you've had your fun now.

    Let's hope he continues we need goals

    "He's a flop"
    "Made of thin air"
    "Adds nothing"
    "The guy is a dud"

    All very strong direct quotes.

    You can't just add "so far" to the above and still pretend you also supported him and saw that he has talent. If you do then it's just plain hypocritical.

    so, "He's a dud but has ability." <confused>

    Dud:
    a thing that fails to work properly or is otherwise unsatisfactory or worthless.
    "all three bombs were duds"


    Even with the "so far"...

    "He's a dud so far but has ability." <confused><confused>

    Flop:
    A total failure. be completely unsuccessful; fail totally.

    "He's a total failure, but has ability".<confused>
    Or even
    "He's a total failure so far, but has ability." <confused>

    "Failure"? He scored goals and was then injured. How Is that a "failure" - or a "dud" - even with "so far" added?

    And no, it's not my lack of understanding of what "so far" means. "Failure" and "dud" do not match Isak's contribution up to the Wolves game.

    So either YOU don't understand English language, OR as I've said previously, you are just WUMMING.

    You think you are right.
    I think you are being a different word altogether.

    Time to put this one to bed mate, we won't agree. Well, unless you agree that you are WUMMING. <cheers>
