    Not really sure what you gain from coming onto a transfer thread and whinge about people wanting to talk about transfer info.

    My last few posts were specifically about transfer rumours tbf ...

    ... and I was being polite until someone decided to have a pop at me.

    Fair?

    Also, Barnes could quite easily come out on Twitter (X) and say it’s untrue. He hasn’t done that as of yet…

    Attention seeking mate, that's all it is.

    Anyway, who's next after the CB?

    Barnes knows nowt like. We might not be targetting another striker, but Barnes wouldn't know.

    I post about transfers as well, not that you'd notice ... as I'm entitled to do.

    Whinging that not everyone shares your opinion is your choice.

    As I've said, pop me on ignore, no problem.

    There's way too much lately of people criticising how other people choose to enjoy or analyse what's happening in the transfer window. Don't like data? Ignore it. Don't like people paying attention to BBC journalists? Ignore it. Don't like people reporting what Romano says? Ignore it.

    Instead we have this very regular lecture telling people what and how they should spend their time in the window.

    Everyone's entitled to their opinions but for some people their opinions only ever seem to be about criticising other people's opinions. That's what creates the tension and arguments around here.

    Surely Real Madrid would not be happy sanctioning this game? If Barcelona win the league by 2 points because they beat Villarreal comfortably at a neutral venue whilst Real Madrid lost a difficult away game to them?

    What if Villarreal miss out on Champions League by 2 points after losing their 'home' game against Barcelona?

    If this fixture happens, as far as I'm concerned the season would be null and void because the whole season would not be played on a level playing field due to this one game. If Barcelona win the title, no matter by how many points, there should still be a huge asterisk against their name on the trophy.

    Look mate the issue is I come onto this transfer thread and see you having pops at people who like to talk about transfer info and sharing stuff here. I don’t get what you want to achieve that’s all

    It's not at all, I'm posting an opinion on the transfer thread.

    My points were quite reasonable otherwise other people wouldn't 'like' what I've posted.

    Just because they share my opinion doesn't mean they're all attention seeking.

    @CR17 & @Smug in Boots

    Please pop each other on ignore. I’m bored of seeing you two constantly bicker on here.

    I’m not interested as to who is in the wrong or whatever, just speaking for the rest of the board here that we can’t be arsed reading your arguments constantly. <laugh>

    I posted about the conflict of interest that's been expressed on this thread ...

    ... it's not your thread so stop trying to dictate the narrative.

    My last point was about the hysteria of people claiming flight times are being deliberately withheld from them.

    If I find that ridiculous, on a thread supposed to be about transfers and signings that's quite reasonable.

    If you don't agree with any of my points just ignore them and move on.

    I wade into this often as well, so I apologise.

    I've popped Smug on ignore so I don't get tangled up in it.
