What are you talking about! People were saying that Ings was nowhere near close to being at the level of player for this club. Saying it's a travesty that we shed £5million for him (at the very most).
Again, people have their take and opinion on players because they've watched them play. No one, not even you or scouts get it right all the time, so where is the problem in not rating a player and having doubts before he joins us? The main thing is, he gets the right support when he joins us, which he has thus far.
Keep saying this but... Aren't we meant to be the most intelligent fan base in the Prem? Not from where I'm sitting. The level of talent spotting amongst fans has been atrocious for years, can't remember how many times I've had to bang on the drum for a player for literally years sometimes before the penny drops for some clowns.
Who actually believes we're the most intelligent fan base in the Prem? I don't think you can measure/count how intelligent a fan base is. We are no different to any other fan base in world football.
And as for Borini, that lad was an embarrassment, another one which took people years to realise he was a money grabbing piece of sh*t. 'Oh he wasn't given a chance' bullshit he wasn't. Same people saying that are the ones complaining about Rogers only playing 'his signings'. Borini was signed right at the start and every time he was given a chance he looked sh*te. Red card against Arsenal was a disgrace, finishing was horrible and his spacial awareness was worse than a dyspraxic on acid.
So yea I suppose you're right people do have a right to an opinion, but at the same time they should still be embarrassed to have such an idiotic one to start with.
I'm sure you, like me, and everyone here has posted some embarrassing and idiotic stuff during our time
It really is infuriating to see so much sheer idiocy and lack of football knowledge from so many. I can count the number of knowledgable posters on here without taking my socks off. What the f**k has happened? Where the hell is this famous knowledge I keep hearing about? All I keep hearing is crap like 'We shouldn't waste our time on Ings' or 'Borini should start more games'. All the way back to 'Swap Henderson for Dempsey' 'Robbie Keane will be a world class signing' 'Lucas is the worst player I've ever seen'... It's really starting to wear on me the amount of utterly butterly sh*te I read, opinions that are embarrassing for anyone who has half a footballing brain. We are meant to be a team but we're only as fast as our slowest marcher, and by christ we're slow right now.
I just see opinions and try to form an idea on why they rate or don't rate certain players. I understand why some don't fancy Hendo, why they feel Lucas is not good enough, or why Can would be a beast of a DM etc. Maybe it doesn't make sense to you, maybe not to me too, but in no way is it idiotic or embarrassing.
As far as I'm concerned you should keep your mouth shut if you're football knowledge is go god damn sh*te that you can't spot Danny Ings is a good signing.
I hope they don't and carry on posting their opinions and not be put off by posters that come across as aggressive or angry.
