Why are you sucking Diouf's arse so much? The fact that we were unbalanced was the main issue we had in the second half and I do believe that 80% of the reason for this was because Diouf was on the pitch. I'm trying really hard here just to assess him on his performance but your going over the top in compensating your reasoning behind us bringing him in. He was not good enough and I just fail to understand what he did on the pitch which made you believe he was, as I said I can remember the touch/flick to McCormack, another touch/flick later in the game and one where he took possession in a crowded area and slowed the game down and played it back to the defence/kenny. Cannot think of anything else he did in the game which positively helped the team, thats not good enough for 50 minutes of gameplay. Not only this he ****ed our shape up which allowed them to attack us a lot more than the first half, didn't track back, lost the ball, fell over incredibly easily. I don't remember him "smoothly gliding" away from any opponent
Opinions differ. Love your forceful manner but it doesn't make me feel like I should agree with you. We all see different things, you clearly don't see a class player while everyone at the match did.
He looked silky, but like Josh said, saw very little of the ball in reality. A wing-ger (as Warnock would say) needs to show for the ball better than he did.
There's 2 million quid sitting there left over from the Snodgrass sale. Not to mention all the money from the other sales that has gone missing over the years. Fat old **** won't spend a penny even if it's not his own money.
When will people like you realise that my responses are often provided as an exact response to the asinine and ****y comments aimed at me for no reason? If you were sat in the Kop or took your ear plugs out and listened to the radio or tv commentary, you would have heard the whole ground applauding Diouf. The vast majority of people there appreciated what he did and saw his class. You clearly didn't. Not making any judgment. Honest. [ <--- real ****ing sarcastic. ]
Diouff played well,don't care what he's done to Celtic,QPR etc.While he plays for Leeds will get 100% support from me.
You have the communication skills of a ****ing pikey. The only reason i asked why you are sucking Diouf's arse so much is because you defend him regardless of the argument against him. And second to that you didn't answer my question of why you act like this when talking about Diouf And here's food for thought, just because everyone was applauding some idiot (that most of the applaud, couple of boos as well came before he came on the pitch so I really doubt it was because of his performance) doesn't actually mean that I have to. I have principles and I try to stick to them regardless of the situation. I'm not taking a personal attack on you but it does appear that if you do have any principles, you let them go very quickly
I have not been a fan of EHD and am certainly not convinced he will ultimately be a good/great signing for Leeds United. Having said that, I have to say that I thought he looked calm and composed on the ball on Saturday and seemed to bring all the experience that having played for 10 clubs can bring one. As mentioned above, I particularly was pleased with his decision making in the final minutes of the game when he took care of the ball in a very patient and mature way. Let's see what happens - stay tuned.
Au contraire my communication skills are highly tuned, taking account of your precise manner and corresponding in kind. You should look at your own method oI communicating. My principles have not wavered, I see no problem with Diouf and never have as my contributions on this thread show. If you don't like an opinion, that's fine, but no need to ram your opinion down my throat. Really!
Elmo, I'm not ramming an opinion down your throat. I was quite light before, the issue I have is your constant digs at me for expressing my opinion. This is why I bring your communication skills into question. I only expressed an opinion before, explained why i had it and left it. I got responses from you that were just coming from you probably in frustration (because a lot of people disagree with you) trying to tell me what an idiot I am because I can't see a class player This is the only reason I have continued to respond to you actually, nothing to do with the topic at hand Do you like to spit at people as well?
Take aside my own thoughts and personal opinions of Elmo out of this debate - Even Messi is on the top 10 list of worse spitters - Not condoning it in the slightest but would you complain if we were signing him? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-10-Worst-spitting-incidents-in-football.html
If you start a post accusing someone of 'being up someone's arse' you have chosen the antagonistic route immediately. That deserves the exact response you got. It you can't handle it, don't start off in such a **** manner
This was my first post on this thread and the one where I started in a "**** manner" was in response to your post And really this thread is just continuing from the other one where you were getting defensive and because of that quite aggressive. It was an actual genuine question as well, I find it odd that you are defending him to the death
Did Diouf know at the time that the guy had a broken leg? - I know where you are coming from Josh but there are always two sides. On a personal level I think Diouf is a nasty piece of work, slightly worse than Bowyer but we all loved him. If we knew half what these footballers did behind closed doors I dare say some would shock us beyond belief. Diouf hasn't been brought into the club to be liked, he has been brought in to do a job. If he performs great and helps win us promotion I will be grateful but I shall still dislike the man. After watching him on Saturday my opinion of his ability has weakened, I do believe his lack of pace will cause problems and I do believe he will be caught in possession far too often. My own opinion of his performance on Saturday was that he was lucky to get away with conning the ref by far too easily going to ground. If the free kicks had not been given he would have looked awful. He does offer us something different and with no money being made available who could we get who is better.
Ristac, i do understand the defence argument of Diouf didn't know his leg was broken and I'm sure some of us have been in the position to think someone is just faking it/making more of it than it really is and it to turn out they weren't. The issue I have with Diouf is there was no apology, Warnock called him on it and he didn't put his hand up about it, but rather attacked Warnock. Now this would actually be quite easily slid under the carpet for me if this was the only questionable thing he had done in his career but its not. There is too much for him to be innocent all the time, I could understand it if it was once or twice, perhaps three times but its constantly. At what point do you say, he has to be in the wrong in some of these situations if he is constantly in the wrong place. And its a sad thing to admit but if it were Messi I think it probably would be forgotten about alot more by fans because he's an amazing player but Diouf isn't. He's past it and no one wants him, he hasn't even kept himself in good shape, he was supposed to be looking for a club during the off-season wasn't he? Woulda thought he would have tried to keep in shape to help his chances but he didn't. This sort of lack of effort worries me as well, there is too much wrong with this guy
Fitness - I agree and I am also amazed he never kept himself in better shape. While I fully believe he never knew the guy had a broken leg I also agree an apology would have been nice. I am not defending his antics, I am saying for Leeds Utd as things stand he is an okay player to bring off the bench. I was hoping he would be a VERY GOOD player to utilise but after Saturday I have my doubts. Joey Barton - He is another I despise as a person but if he was signed up by us I would welcome what he could offer on the pitch - I don't have to love or like a player, as long as they perform for us and win us games I don't care a great deal what they are like on a personal level.
I will watch what he does and only damn him if he is proven to be a bad boy. If he merely turns out to be not as good as thought, I will not damn him but be happy when he moves on. But in the meantime, I will support him. All that other stuff is just piffle, IMO. That is not defending him to death, but choosing not to damn him based on past misdemeanours that are either pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things, a long time ago, or were never proven. But if I wanted to defend him to the death I could, because that would be merely an opinion that you have to accept as an opinion. But you have damned him already. It's the difference between me and you. I am open, you are closed. And you don't need to communicate so aggressively when it is just as valid for you to put your point across. If you had not stated "Why are you sucking Diouf's arse so much?" little of the ensuing conversation would have happened.
