    That's fair enough he 'might' or 'has been' or 'looking like' are completely different to saying something IS.

    At the moment he IS playing well.

    Pick that one out. Two contextual words.

    These are the words of someone that is close but unable to simply confess that his original assessment of the player was wrong.

    I wouldn't care if you guys picked longstaff I'd have been guilty of hypocrisy but you didn't have the brains to pick an accurate argument.

    Furthermore I still don't rate longstaff.... see I'm doing the same basically <laugh>

    My assessment at the time was correct. He WAS ****. Past tense.

    Now he IS playing well. Present tense.

    But he may BE **** in future. Future tense.

    All sentences are factually correct.

    I didn’t rate ASM. He plays 30 games, plays **** in 23 of those, goes off injured in 4 of those games and in the final 3 games plays world class football for ten minutes per game

    No mate because you're trying to add the words 'at the moment'

    You didn't say he's **** 'at the moment'

    You didn't say he 'is playing ****' either.

    The word is a present tense verb. Meaning at that time by very definition.

    Your English needs work.

    Anyhoo. This IS getting boring.

    ASM frustrated me. A bit like HBA. Had bags of talent. But just not quite the application.

    Apparently he is going to be paid £400k a week.

    You think he became good since last week ?

    How come you manage to add the key words after the event but not at the time?

    I've said longstaff is **** I was completely wrong ,but you seem to struggle to be honest and would rather try to make me look bad rather than say yeah I was wrong about Anderson he's a decent player.

    I never said he'd win that .. I said psg were interested and he ended up there which was correct.

    Is he now useless because he's not good enough for PSG ? I don't think so , but I'm not bothered anyway we're not fighting relegation now.
