And that is why Fitzy is the true GOAT.
A shame, I thought he could become a Bellamy type player for us. It was more a case of wrong place, wrong time, not very good.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
You've spectacularly missed my point, and have even suggested I was comparing aspas and coutinho, which is a bizarre conclusion.The point I was making is that we will not get every signing right. Your initial argument suggested that because Aspas wasn't good enough, we didn't have the quality of 3rd choice striker that could have won the game against Chelsea, and that this may have cost us the league. You then linked this to a poor transfer strategy.My opposing view is to try and have some perspective and show that we signed two inexpensive players only 5 months earlier, who despite signs of promise at their clubs were actually both inconsistent rejects at the time, and a gamble for us. No amount of retrospective stat-pulling will convince me you knew anything about Coutinho before he was linked with us, and I recall the universal view on Sturridge was that he had some quality but was viewed with caution and could go either way.Its easy to say we should be signing players like alonso, mascherano sturridge and coutinho, but they certainly weren't 'world class' before we signed them. I always find it odd when people pick out players that became incredible for us and then say 'we should sign those types of players', as if its that easy. Aspas might have turned out well, but he didn't, and we move on.Anyway, let's just agree to disagree. This thread is about Aspas and not the clubs transfer strategy.
Let us never speak of this again.
