Obtuse? Can you price that in a written forum?

Destroying threads? Again thats debatable because if forums did not go off topic every user would use only one reply to the thread poster.

Did he get an explanation?
A right to reply?

Well I'll be even more controversial and say that Le Tissier probably wouldn't make it into a modern day side. Like I stated earlier, in the eighties and nineties he could make a huge impact on the game but football has changed. Teams do have flair players nowadays but they afford no passengers. Everyone has to put a shift in now. He was the best in the world at his time but I'm not sure many modern Prem teams would be able to make up for the other 88 minutes.

As for Hurlock getting in this team, that is laughable.You could argue for Case because he wa twice the player Hurlock was however as stated earlier they are both a liability in the modern non contact game. Their game was as much about their reputation/presence scaring the opoosition as it was perfectly timed tackles.

I think you could argue that Mickey Adams might get into the team as he was quite a cultured full back but Jason Dodd as much as we love him was only marginally better than Benali (who we also love.) Both would do anything for the team but they were your average meat and drink full back. Benali and Dodd would not make a modern team. they were in effect solely defence.

In that early era we relied solely on MLT to make attacks and score goals with our back 4 + defensive midfielder hardly moving from their stations. Was a good job that we did have solid centre back pairings because without that we would have been down in the early nineties and under the old regime would have struggle to get back up.

So I am sort of agreeing with you as do many others that what we lack is a good solid CB pairing and maybe a defensive midfielder in front of them (if Cork doesn't make the grade) however I think the rest of the team is pretty good. Our first 3 full backs IMO are: Clyne, Richardson, Shaw. We have backup in Fox and we are light on backup but CLyne would get into a lot of Prem sides' first teams. Shaw undoubtedly will be the same.

Lets se how much Cortese backs Nigel with in January. If he gives him 10m to get 2 centre backs then I think you'll know if Cortese is likely to remove him or not. I do think Adkins will be here for the transfer window. I may be wrong but like yousay. I am entitled to that opinion and far from being as you say, I am probably in theminority on that belief no matter how positive many of us are abou the situation.

Jimmy Case I agree with but he was not in that squad, I asked name a weaker squad any year we were in the top flight.
To boot Hurlock was a damn good effective player and a lot of pros have said that also.

Again I was going to add my 5 pence worth...again though I see the mods at last realised who was posting.

Just to put a different prospective on things that have been bandied about. When you get a troll who continually rocks the boat. Mods start to get complaints. Usually there is an exchange of Pm's, it is rare they will agree, but the perpetrator are put into the picture as to other peoples complaints. Usually this will go on over the course of a week or two.
By this time official complaints have been launched and the mods are asked what are they are doing about it. In all this time exchanges will have been made by pm with the person causing problems. When the final decision is made this is usually the result of continued trolling and most likely a straw that has broken the camels back. So on the day it may look as if it is something minor that has caused a problem when in fact the whole saga has been going on for some time.
This is worth pointing out and remembering
 
At least, as he keeps coming back (I think this is his second re-registration) it means there's a higher chance he'll be banned for longer.

Unfortunately he is another that considers he is above the rules...........Everytime he comes back he will be banned as far as I'm aware. The same for banana they like to be sure though before banning anyone.

You are not reading properly. I know Case wasn't in that squad. I was merely saying that Case was twice the player Hurlock was in that he could do a little more than break legs. All players are effective, it is a case of what they are effective at. Hurlock was a poor replacement for Case. I will stand by that early nineties squad escaped relegation several times purely on the basis of a top keep and top centre back pairing with MLT being able to make and score so many. 4 players kept us up for 3 or 4 years. You cannot do that these days and this squad is much more than that.

My last post on this thread, I've given my opinion, you disgaree. No Problem.
