Dango Ouattara

Bloody awful suggestion.

You don't sign a 20 million quid player and try and put him somewhere else because he's shyte.

This is football, not accounts for an HR firm.

Fcking embarrassing that we need to convert a 20 million quid signing onto a different position, because he's **************** at the one he does.

Should we stick some gloves on him and see how he goes?

This bloody rate, he'll be cleaning the bogs after match day.

12th January 2023 - Bill Foley invests in Lorient FC and the club puts out a "Welcome to the family" tweet that causes outrage amongst their fans. They start a Foley Out campaign and start issuing open letters warning Foley about asset stripping and promising all kinds of protests.

19th January 2023 - AFCB massive overpay for Dango Outtara. Protests for down and Foley has found a way to inject cash into his new club whilst adding some vital attacking options to the cherries squad.

Win/win. Focusing on the large fee as an example of anything other than Foley's investment strategy is silly.
 
Of course not, one game isn't a fair amount to judge any players on.

Billing has been with us for years and hasn't imposed himself on the team under Ariola.

Outttara is absolute rubbish, and 2 million would be a gamble at this stage of his career.

Unal will not sign for us if the contract was structured correctly. Let's hope we have an 'option' to buy, not an obligation.

There were 6 or 7 Luton players on the pitch who were better on the night, or comparable to half of our squad.

Luton didn't spend 200 million.

We did.
You’re taking this defeat rather badly.

We’re a mid table team, we’ll have great wins and poor defeats.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the summer brings.

How they getting on with that?
 
It's only opinions on a modern communication medium....which ultimately means knack all ..like yesterday's papers...later today and in all the tomorrows new things rock up..and all the 'turns' rock up and rock along with their act..Spinning Rock Artists like moi.
Make the posts entertaining and you've got somewhere to go..dip in for an enlightenment, a bit of banter... or
...you can cast a baited line or two .. have a net ready to drag in the bigger catch....
Go Positive after a Win...Negative after a Loss....or reverse that.. go Neg after a Win or Pos after a Loss..more interesting !

Dango hit that goal v Spurs..that winner ...that's what he did.. for the History annals of this club...like Gosling did at Chelsea...

Who and how many of the Forums ' boss cliques' will be opinionating and ripping up other posters on here when Colorado Carson and Bradgene Alabama are getting winners for the Cherries in 30-31 at Hamworthy Rodeo FC..and Bridport Bleachers FC !
Yo can bend it, twist it and shake it bro but it all consigns to History.

Jesus Christ. The state of this board after one defeat. Dragon can’t wait to spam multiple threads saying exactly the same thing. And Dawson is licking his lips, any excuse to criticise our recruitment ey?

What planet are you people living on? We’re in the top flight and we’re on 41 points with eight games to go. Get a f****g grip the pair of you.

We’re all aware that every single signing web made hasn’t been absolutely perfect, shock horror. If you were expecting a 20 year old that we signed from France to be the finished product straight away then that’s on you for being so naive. He did fine yesterday and has contributed plenty since he arrived.

Opinions should always be welcome but the pair of you just can’t bloody wait for us to lose so you have an opportunity to regurgitate the same old shite.
 
If anyone thinks this squad is better than Howes squad that got to 9th...then they are emotionally unstable or ignoring historical facts and stats !

That is not to say that Yes its on the way to being better...but losing to Luton and going 3 goals down at home in that first half is showing weakness and inconsistency...
...raising your game at Old Trafford but lowering it again for Sheffield and Luton is not exactly a professional ethic Batman !
We are certainly NOT as good as some on this Forum think we are.

Before any wisecrack says I'm talking shite...it's a Crap league is this Premiership...so it's inevitable that fans will talk 'shite'...and ruthlessly take the proverbial p*ss !
 
Some of the others might..just might, get in Pompey's squad next season !
As much as I'd like to rub it in to Southampton further about being our feeder club, I'd much prefer to see Pompey get our best loanees.

Highly unrealistic though, as no way they're going to cover 30k+ wages, or us subsidised the majority, as Southampton can.

I was being sarcastic !
I actually don't care a monkeys spitroast who comes and goes...as long as my ancestors legacy of being among the first fans of Boscombe St John's gets respected and we field 11 players to do battle with any rapscallions from foreign parts so I can peruse the tabulations of results of such pairings.
I can see us riding up and down the Divs including the 'premiership' over the next few decades...and then settling into a local league one day... I think the same might happen to Saints.. and even Manu...once the Money dries up...hopefully soon !

Utter b0ll0cks.

Your ad hominen isn't peturbing me sunshine :D.

Current squad is light years ahead of the Howe one, in terms of quality.
 
Re Dango, some posters are conveniently ignoring the circumstances we were in when he signed. Likewise with Traore.

We were looking like relegation fodder at that point, recently promoted and second bottom of the table without a win in many weeks. We did what many clubs have had to do in January before us, we overpaid because we were desperate. At that point very few players who had other options at PL level would have chosen to sign for us. We did what we had to do to give ourselves a chance, and it worked!

Say what you like about Dango, but without his match winning contributions against Spurs and Liverpool, and further contributions against Forest and Leeds, we would likely be a championship club right now.

But the likes of Dawson and Dragon are either incapable or unwilling to look at any kind of context behind those deals, they would rather ignore the circumstances behind it because it doesn’t suit their respective narratives.

Man who slags the club off at every opportunity, got called out for it, backed Forest in every run in, got called out for it, lied and changed his name twice, denied who he was, then admitted it and became the forum joke….. tells other people to get a fucking grip.

I’m assuming this is ironic?

Yes Neil I am telling you to get a grip, because this particular conversation has nothing to do with any of that. As you well know. I too have needed to get a f****g grip at many points in the past, as I have said before my behaviour on here has been laughable at times. Many people told me time and time again and I didn’t listen, a bit like you aren’t now. And yes I did become a forum joke, a bit like you have now too. Just because I’ve acted like a tit in the past it doesn’t mean I can’t call someone else out for doing so, in fact in many ways it makes me the most qualified. I’ve owned up to being wrong, say what you like about me but at least I can admit when I’ve acted like a bell. Would we ever see the same from you?

I disagree. Holding your hand up for being a complete cock on here, lying to everyone continually about who you were and slagging the club off at every opportunity allows you the right to come back be very humble and make amends while everyone gives you time to prove you are no longer a cock. Everyone deserves that.

When you then have a go at people for them demonstrating what you perceive to be similar behaviour to what you apologised for it just makes you a hypocrite and you take two steps back on your journey from cock to normality.
