Imagine not understanding what the word Academic means in this context. But we know from the currents btw page that understanding the meaning of words is not your specialityOriginally Posted by Mac76
It’s saying yes you’re right, but it doesn’t change anything because we don’t have the ability to field specialist full backs even if Arteta acknowledged their usefulness
yes we do because Tierney is a specialist fullback and the only reason we sent him on loan is because Arteta doesn't like fullbacks, therefore Arteta's dislike of FBs has made us worse off and is hurting us, which is what i said
do you get it now?
Do you get how it’s academic in that it’s happened now and even if Arteta suddenly had a lightbulb moment it wouldn’t make a sod of difference.
You chose to make an argument about it, where all I said is yes you’re right but it’s academic now. But because your poorly wired brain has an overactive threat sensor when it comes to people not agreeing with you, you chose to make an issue of it.
So you tell me, Is it lack of comprehension or amygdala issues. Given that you’ve tended to jump on my responses without having taken the time to properly read them a few times of late I’ll go with the latter.
I'm not questioning your use of the word academic as such, what i am saying is that you are incorrect to say we don't have any FBs - we do have one but he has just been sent out on loan - loan deals can be cancelled
Erm you realise loan agreements tend to have contracts governing them so that we can’t just recall a player from loan on a whim. I don’t think “I suddenly rediscovered my faith in the traditional fullback role” counts
We have Tavares but ultimately we really need to be getting in money for him
I like Tierney, but I feel that he doesn't have the technical ability to do what the manager wants, so it is best that he leaves. It's a valid question to ask whether Arteta's wishes for this team are the best way to go, but as matters stand Tierney did not suit our way of playing and I am happy for him that he has gone to a CL team.
More generally, I think that the loss of Timber has been a hammer blow to our prospects. Aretta is clearly trying to work around this, but my concern is that rather than altering his approach to get the best out of certain players, he is stubbornly sticking to a plan that only really worked with a player now out for the season.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Well there goes 2 of the 6 points required.
