A number of players have been mentioned in the course of this discussion. As usual some people including who do not get the “right” answers turn to being abusive. After all it is all opinion. Of the players that have transferred to us whilst young are a certain international hooker, now plying his trade in Australia, Jordan and Jez. You say the latter two have not improved. I say they have. SL coaches have commented on their development but but you with your limited involvement in the game don’t agree. That’s your right but I know who’s opinion I think is most valid.. The two players at Wakey also fall into this category. You are wanting proof of my membership, that is just childish In any case would prove nothing, anyone could post anyone else’s membership card. Can you imagine if every time two people on any forum held different opinions they had to prove they were “true” supporters.
No opinion can be right or wrong, it is just opinion. Opinion can however be reinforced by the opinion of others who have genuine expertise in the game. This includes coaches, administrators,, current and ex professional players. People falling into all of those categories have expressed the opinion both on the tv and in print that both Jordan and Jez have improved their game since leaving FC. Jordan was in fact ahead in the Man of Steel rankings before his injury. You however choose to ignore all of that and base your opinion only on your own observations of watching matches over a few years. You are entitled to do that but please give me the same right without making petty personal insults.
I’ll remind you of your original post.
Most of the young players you either release or allow to go that are signed by other SL clubs do develop into better players. We have benefited and so have Wakey. I think you should be acknowledged as a feeder club.
We asked you which players, you came up with one which you actually thought of, and that was decades ago, your statement was nonsense, but I’m pleased for once, you took the time to reveal more of your feelings, rather than your usual three line pessimism. Have a nice Sunday.
After reading back
you are correct, I shouldn’t have called you a forum Ghoul, I apologise
