I have taken your post for what it stated.Originally Posted by Terry Tuffnutz
What unwarranted stick?
He has throughout his stay had his name sung from the rafters....often for no reason other than being spotted in a tracksuit. I want him to do well and do well with us. But if he is going, I want the most we can get for him.
Suggesting he'd be somehow understood for pissing off for all this unwarranted stick that he did not get is what I have a problem with.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
the very fact you still only see signs shows the stick he has and continues to face.
all those goals and assists from anyone else would not pose a question of consistency.
No it does not.
Opinions on a MB forum and support in a football stadium are two things pretty much entirely divorced from each other.
I'd like to see more than 3 months of what he can do. He is showing signs of what he can be for us, and as others have pointed out, he is 23 and he is even now not the finished article.

Not really, opinions on a MB are more extreme versions of those expressed at a game.
He has shown more than 3 months. The fact you are so blinkered to say he has only shown 3 months after so many goals and assists shows you are not neutral but biased against him - which shows the crap he has had to face from over expectant supporters.
You can't go to many games because you have no comprehension of the support he has received at the games nor do you have any understanding of the difference between discussion on a MB that contains about 50 active members and support at a match.
You are the one that is blinkered.

i go every week and hear it all around me. you must've just woken up in the past three months.
what you continue to fail to separate is that i acknowledge he receives support but also a lot of unwarranted stick.
after all, we're basing it all on your three month assessment, pretty laughable and completely isolated against what he has done on the pitch.
we can do this all day on who hears what and when and the bottom line is end product from the player.
find me someone else in the prem with more goals and assists than his over the past two years and then we can talk properly.

The stick he gets when he's playing poorly is warranted. He's inconsistent. As I said sometimes that inconsistency manifests itself in the same game (Spurs at home)
For the sake of clarity, what have you been hearing every week?
Also, for the sake of clarity, his performance over the last three months of the seaon, was a step above anything previous.
And we aren't basing ANYTHING on my assessment of his performance. This goes back to your assessment of all the stick which I say, he hasn't been receiving.
He has received tremendous support throughout his time here with very little exception.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
i'm trying to keep the discussion objective rather than have to believe what either of us have or haven't heard.
and just like i thought, you've got nothing to offer there.
