Theoretical scenario :Imagine it been a few years ago. Giggs is still playing football, we have a chance to sign him. But 9 months previously the story broke that he had an affair. Would you have not signed him ? Just signing "nice blokes" is bloody ridiculous. Young lads with a **** load of money, not the best combo. I'm trying to imagine myself at uni, single with a budget of 2k a week. **** knows what I would have got up to
Absolutely mate. We’ve all ****ed birds when we’re pissed, fortunately we aren’t high profile enough to get stung. There was a thread at the time and we pretty much all agreed he’d not done it. I don’t want him mind, as I don’t think he’s very good.
Wigan are reportedly asking for 3m now for Grigg. Theyre just taking the pish now. Time to move on! If he really wanted to come he'd have been doing his bit by trying to put pressure on them to let him go.
Surely its time to look elsewhere this saga over a Wigan reject is embarrassing, Borini was bad enough this is much worse, as there are plenty of alternatives out there, most of the strikers we have faced this season have looked good enough to improve our options up front, where currently we have Wyke and young Kimpi as our only real strikers.
He'd be quite far down my list too although I think he's a decent player, doesn't seem like there's much truth in the rumour anyway.
. I'd prefer to not get any striker than overpay because some ****er knows we're desperate Promote from the youth team
I'm not saying I wouldn't sign him. I'm saying the negative publicity that surrounds him wouldn't be good and isn't what the owners seem to want to make of the club. As for the kids/money combo, there's some element of truth in that. But (if what has been written above is true) there is no amount of money, even at that age, that would make me think it was acceptable to leave my girlfriend behind to go to a hotel to shag a girl that my mate had just shagged. That's wrong on a number of levels.
Aye, doesn’t look like it. He always looks a bit lethargic to me, we need someone who moves around a bit quicker, and a proper big ****er/target man. He kind of falls in the middle of the 2 options we’d ideally like to have, but then we have Wyke for that. I don’t see this one as a mover anyway.
I wouldn't do so either, but there are plenty of blokes who do cheat and don't think twice about it. "just having a bit of fun, like"
I’m not gonna lie, when I was a young lad, even to a lesser extent even now in my 30’s, I didn’t half out it about a bit. If I’d have thousands a week I’d certainly have put it about even more and I don’t think there’s harm in that as long as people know what’s what. Facts are we could do without the potential bad press, but more so than that, as I’ve said, there are better options available.
Don't get me wrong, when single I see no harm whatsoever, regardless if your a bloke or a lass, in having fun. But yeah, I think we could do better than Evans.
Exactly. But the Evans story sounds a bit different to that. Anyway, there's better available and I don't think the rumour is true anyway.
