trueblue4life 20 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 So we could sign guys like, say, Ryan Babel or Alberto Aquilani?Every club buys players that don't work out as expected. It's a risky business where past performance offers no guarantee as to what the future holds.The joke's on you ya chukter, Damien Commolli wasn't at Liverpool at the time when they signed Babel & Aquilani.

Hardy har har, you lose.So the point went straight over your head. Whooosh noise was it? Or a simpler, duh?Unless my eyesight has completely gone I'm certain the guy I quoted said 'a Damien Comolli type'. That word, type, is quite important in that context.If you still don't understand, get some help from someone not quite as thick as you appear to be happy to out yourself as.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 there's no hindsight about itsmith paniced and signed beattie cause he thought the jelavic deal was going tits up, thats the only explanation for the beattie signingIt's 100% hindsight. Unless you are Mystic Meg.But, I'm happy to concede that your explanation for the Beattie signing is as every bit as good as the next wild guess.

I wasn't surprised the first time, but offered a chance for you to at least re-read my post and your nonsensical reply. No matter - thanks for confirming not only just how stupid you are willing to be in public, but how pitiful your basic english comprehension skills are.I blame the schools.

But the risks are high. If it subsequently goes wrong - it's all the more pointed for a club like The Rangers as we find ourselves in such diminished circumstances.

Your "point" was that we don't need an executive "type" director like 'Commolli' at Rangers. Right?So how exactly am i not getting it? How are you not getting the fact that you were incorrect with your statement about Babel and Aquilani? You tried to be a smartarse with that comment but fact is, you ended up looking like a bawbag.Now fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh i agree with what you said about Beattie, Goodwillie etc hindsight is a fantastic thing however still doesn't change the fact of you being wrong about Babel & Aquilani & then getting all hot & bothered about me saying that you were incorrect and you still are in regards to the comment about those two players.

Commolli wasn't responsible for those two signings and that example was a bad one, fact.Ok, you still aren't getting my point. The question was - do we need a Comolli type? I presumed it was asked because it might be considered to help improve the success rate of signings. I wanted to highlight that even a director of football could offer no more guarantees for the success (or otherwise) of a signing. Comolli, now at Liverpool, made Babel and Aquilani obvious examples of failed signings to illustrate my point. Even though he could not be not credited with their signatures. They were mentioned because they were two (current) high profile signings that have not succeeded for Liverpool as they must have hoped. So, with or without a Comolli 'type' being involved the result was the same - players failing to live up to expectations.My point is this - there are no guarantees whatsoever with any signing. Employing a director of football, a manager, team coaches and more or any combination of them still offers no guarantees.For what it's worth - Comolli was sacked at Spurs for failing to live up to expectations himself. Yep, he can't even guarantee his own success. Let alone that of third parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think i meant by when i said "hindsight is a fantastic thing"? Of course i'm referring to the signing of (new) players.Whatever man, this is like talking to a woman.

He goes with my wishes, it just hasn't worked out but there's been much worse money spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
