Seriously?!

You really need me to answer that?! :roflmao:

If we can then 100% we should get him. Real talent. Learning his trade at full back but tipped by many to wind up as a centre half. All those positions are needed by us - some slightly more urgently than others.

I'd give up on mispending money on a striker and leave that until the summer. For now I'd get Ferguson, Bogle and KWP. And no I don't think that'd be an overload as they're all capable of playing in more than one position.

I really am not going to respond in detail to some of the vitriol aimed at me on here.

At the end of the day I posted about Ferguson in good faith based on my knowledge of the player and was not seeking to create an impression of any grandiloquence or to place myself on any pedestal.

I don't believe that criticisms of individuals adds value to the thread so in the interests of HOL the debate should focus on the player which I did and will continue to do if I have anything meaningful to add.

To be brutally honest Willo...you invite it on yourself. You are quite transparent.

I have no problem with it...but can understand why others get tired of it.

You have posted twice in this thread and both have been digs at other forum members.

If you don't wish to contribute positively please don't post at all and the same goes for anyone else who would rather have a sly dig at others rather than contribute positively

Is there any chance of a bit of public clarity on this please? Only because it seems a rule horribly inconsistently applied and I would absolutely hate to see anyone fall foul of it through no fault of their own.

The 'offending' poster could scarcely be claimed to be a contributor who posts exclusively negatively. I've seen even you have digs - sly and otherwise - at others on various other threads on more than one occasion, without any self-rebuke. (I don't have a problem whatsoever with this, as it happens - it's sometimes been deserved, as far as I can see - as I see no reason why moderators should be disallowed the chance to air their views.)

I've also seen numerous digs not related to you go unmoderated (I'm sure you're entirely unaware of these.)

It therefore rather sticks in the craw to see moderators slate certain posters and opinions only then for them to get very sensitive and disapproving when other posters cop for a bit of flak (much of it similarly well-deserved, it seems to me).

I dare say I am missing the point somewhat and am a dreadful upstart and dangerous dissident, nonetheless it all seems to the uninitiated to have the whiff of one-eyed inconsistency and favouritism.

As a woman, I can step aside, or step up my game...
