You claimed I've never had anything positive to say about him. That's markedly different to I don't rate him (which I don't particularly). What part of I'm asking your opinion don't you understand? I'm not asking Arsenal or Bayern's view but what yours is since you seem to have gotten all pissy that I said he'll struggle at a higher level than the German second tier. I do find it entertaining though that you're so upset at me having an opinion while being unable to offer up one of your own. I judged the lad on his appearances for the Under-20s side in which he consistently looked every bit the defender who struggled to get game time at Raith. I'm guessing from your infatuation with using ellipsis incorrectly that English must not be your first language. Wow! that's really really deep .... but I'm bored now .... I have given you an answer ... It's not to your liking ... suck it up dude it's all your gonna get ..... you just don't want to admit that you were wrong and are trying vainly to wriggle out of a situation where you have only succeeded once again in making a complete arse of yourself. bornabear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't much of an answer. Saying it's "imponderable" when asked if you think a player is good enough for Arsenal or Bayern - while criticising someone for having an opinion on said player is pretty laughable to be honest but then I've become well accustomed to you...making...lots of ...posts...without every actually saying anything of substance.

You proved me wrong be falsely claiming I've never had anything positive to say about Bates? No disdain for him, I just didn't feel (along with many others) that he was good enough for us. The fact he's now playing in the German second division hardly contradicts that view. Bates wasn't the only player available at the time. McCrorie was on loan - mainly down to the fact that Warburton didn't rate him whatsoever - however there were others also available such as Aidan Wilson. Twain never uttered those words. ?

Totally agree mate ... say it enough etc ..etc .... however long it's repeated it doesn't make sense. I said early on in this thread that if SG goes with his comment that the whole squad is to be used (which I do not doubt) ... then Katic will get the game time along with Worrall .... injuries aside ... at the moment it seems he prefers Worrall ... he is the manager and as long as the results are positive there will be no negative reaction. To suggest a loanee has preference to play above a more skilled contracted player .... due to some prearranged agreement ....is just madness. Sure ... if the clubs involved agree a certain amount of playing time fair enough ... but not to the point of interfering with the development of one of our own .... it only allows for the rumour mill wheel to go into full speed mode .... like the one you mentioned above mate. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 19 hours ago, backup said: can agree to sign whenever they like, but can't sign outside of transfer window, ie not before 9th june, very very simple, unless of course the sfa are hoodwinking us....on 2nd thoughts they can't if it entails "tapping up" It's simple. Every professional player in the world has a registration. Think of it like a CSCS card, or a driving license. That registration stays attached to the player their whole career. Whomever hold that registration are the team/league that they can play for/in. If a player is under contract, a player can talk to, as long as the team who hold his registration give him permission, any team he wants to. He can then agree to sign for a club at any time of the year. If everything, transfer fee conditions etc have been agreed between the players current team and the team he want to go to then they can announce it to the world its a done deal. Until the team where the player who is moving to Fa's transfer window opens, then the player can't play for them in a competitive match. They can however train with that team (or anyone else who will let them) as long as whomever it is that hold their registration agrees to it. If a players contract runs out, then their registration will go to the last team to hold their registration's FA until whenever the player can find a club who will sign them. I think that is pretty much spot on, but it's just straight off the top of my head so if I have gotten anything wrong, then can somebody who knows what it is correct me please?
