How Do You Replace a Legend? - The Transfers, Rumors & Lies Thread

Bottom line though we got a generational player on a "free" transfer.

If you put this player on the market every team in the world does the math on how to finance it.

Can't have the club do the moral superiority thing when we signed multiple guys that played for our rivals before.

 

What kind of justification is this. It's a massive over exaggeration of facts. Demigod? Please. I read almost every thread, maybe one or two posters have said the "Florentino owning so and so club" kind of statement and that too maybe once or twice.

Some fans express their admiration and affection for the most successful club president of modern times who has led us through all these recent successes while growing the club, you are out here telling people they are wrong because the Super league project didn't go as planned. What's more unreasonable?

Nobody is stopping anybody from expressing a counter opinion. But tell me which poster's demigod florentino comment is being countered in this post?

And there are many more examples which i am not bothered to dig up and share here.

Just to remind you, once again, that deliberately and repetitively posting something to get a reaction from others is the definition of trolling. You, like others, get a long leash on this board even when you've admitted (multiple times) that you make posts to get reactions on here so you can "enjoy" yourself.

Next time you want to express your counter opinion when someone says Florentino demigod please quote that post.

 

Not to start things, but If people would have to quote everything they throw around here i wouldn't have to hear for months how i'm a racist with zero proof to it.

This place certainly has a bit of a hivemind mentality to it like every fan space has.
"What a great club president our Florentino Perez is", meanwhile his private messages to people in politics lobbying against him are public and not very kind or charming.

Florentino is Florentino. The Mbappe deal is something else entirely, i think everybody lost on that.

PSG could have actually made record breaking transfer fee money and get nothing.
The player stagnated on crucial years of his career.
We left wide open holes on the roster waiting for this and lost considerable time.

 

I am not sure what you mean here but let me put it this way. There is nothing to start as far as i am concerned. I am addressing only one issue here. If the only reason for the Bawwsss posts is to counter the demigod posts i would like to see that quoted. I've seen a lot of bawwss posts but not nearly enough demigod posts. Hey maybe i missed them, would love to see that this is actually a counter opinion and not a clear attempt at trolling.

Yes there are lots of things on which this place seems to have a broadly similar stance, which is why counter points are always welcomed. Also there are many things which are broadly agreeable like for example, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players iin the history of this sport. To say, "yeah but he's super vain and selfish" so please don't praise him so much, what kind of point is that.

Again, i am specifically addressing this issue and nothing more. Not Mbappe. Not the super league. Not Florentino's failures or successes and what he says in phone conversations to politicians.

Your point seems to be "chill out with the florentino praise, don't you know he's not as great as you think". Thats it? Ok. Not some earth shattering news. Just there are more people who see Florentino as a great president than those who see him as a flawed man.

 

I like how this post is liked by the guy that posts stuff like this all the time:

It's not that serious, but we both know which posts the shtick is supposed to be a satire of. The fact that one would have to quote said post whenever something is said though is noted, i will make sure to use this extensively by posting quotations to everything the next time.


I get a kick out of it because there's certainly a push to see everything from a pro club perspective with many people and i just find it unserious a this point.

 

Neither your posts nor his hurt anybody. It's such a non topic i wonder why it gets so serious. We had Oscar accusing folks of wearing a fake beard here some years ago, and hector has been pretty cool compared to his past outburts, it really isn't that serious.

 

I definitely don't have the time to go 12 rounds with you but I think we both know that the posts in question aren't counter points but designed to get reactions. The poster has admitted it several times but i find it troubling that you choose to ignore that. The rules on trolling/baiting are pretty clear.

I would love to be proven wrong so if nothing else, just to indulge me, i am asking that gentleman/lady to quote the demigod posts next time which move him/her so much that he/she feels the need to counter with the bawwss posts in an effort to provide balance in this forum although i really don't think that is the poster's intention but lets give the benefit of the doubt.. Even tho a counter point can be made with less spit flying out of a poster's mouth but if it's actually in response to an over the top post, it's fine in my book.

 

Please post quotation of me ignoring it.

You also understand that you don't HAVE to respond to him, do you? If an unfunny joke being repeated is our biggest worry here then i'd say this is a very well moderated space for where the internet is in 2024.
