Ratings v Everton

I’ll try again, it’s a fact that we had no money in January so we quite simply couldn’t buy him hence we only wanted him on loan. Is that really so hard to understand? It’s also a fact that we had a lot of midfield injuries hence the connection with midfield players. It’s not speculation it’s fact

 

Points 1 and 3?

 

That doesn't change the fact there's a plethora of other potential reasons and you said 'he only wanted him on loan'

The fact is he might have wanted him permanently.

BTW I've added this to help assist you with your accusation.

 

All I'd put back into this is - who decided to give Lascelles, Ritchie and Dummett new one year deals when we have 9 more players than City do and they're on for a double treble?

I'm guessing that wasn't Ashworth.

 

Again I've already explained them... I'm sorry I can't seem help you any further on this. Maybe read the thread through is my last piece of advice.

 

Is that a fact a guess or an assumption @magpie290761

 

Is Ritchie and Dummett confirmed or rumoured?

 

Rumoured

 

There may be any number of reasons but it’s still a fact that because of the financial situation we simply couldn’t do anything else but only get him on loan.
He may have wanted him permanently but to say that would be speculation which is what you did.

it’s clearly a guess

 

Might is speculation I said we wanted him only on loan because it’s a fact we couldn’t do anything else but. Where is that speculation? I stand by your statement that Howe would have bought him in January if we had the money said by you was speculation Points 1 and 3?

 

You've admitted there are more potential reason Howe would want Phillips..

 

I answered your points you’re clearly avoiding answering my replies. Yeild? Btw I put in 3

 

Of course there are more reasons but these would be speculation would they not? Only on loan because of financial reasons is fact

 

So you were wrong when you said he only wanted him on loan.

 

You two still at it?

 

Jesus he had no option I never mentioned anywhere what his future hopes were as that would be speculation unlike you saying he would have bought him in January if he had the money

 

He can string out nonsense forever when he’s wrong

 

Your preaching to the choir on that one mate.

We're fully aware

 

He seems reduced to unpleasantries after admitting he was wrong.

 

Saying how only wanted him on loan is an assumption. He's already admitted it he just doesn't realise.
