Revisionism at best. Euphoric is a pretty strong word. I don't think anyone's been euphoric since we beat Man City the season before last in the run up to the title. Some liked Balotelli and some didn't. Some were hopeful (like me and Si) but hardly is that Euphoric. But it's easy to throw that out there without any real proof to back it up eh?
Fair enough if that's how you remember it FL, but I remember people being nearly euphoric, yes.
euphoric
juːˈfɒrɪk/Submit
adjective
characterized by or feeling intense excitement and happiness.
So just so we're clear and for clarity beforehand: I don't want to go trawling through your 13570 posts but if I'd said you were very happy about Balotelli joining, would you accept that as fair, if so there's very little difference.
I personally remember people being beyond very happy, but if you want to contest that, then honestly it's beside the point.
As many have said, not too hard to think he was the answer when Enrique was the question.
Actually there's plenty of people who thought Enrique was a decent defender, he developed a great partnership with Suarez and if it wasn't for his injuries he'd be our starting LB without doubt. Unfortunately those injuries seem to have changed some people's view of Jose.
He is a starter, he was injured throughout pre-season otherwise he'd have been in the starting 11 day one.
I agree, even I, who seem to clash with you on Lallana frequently, would have him in our starting XI still.
I sure did, especially for the fee that was paid. But alas, he's been a huge disappointment.
By far the biggest disappointment, agreed.
