England fan levels of delusion.

I think you or Amy are poorly paraphrasing a bit here but I cant see anything from Amy Irons tbh…

 Admittedly there are other variables but I’m not sure how a guy who can’t really get a regular game for a pretty dire orc team is somehow the same price as a guy who has been the top scorer in 2 different leagues the past 2 seasons…

Well, it is entirely dependant on how you spin it, isn't it?

You could go with the version you've went with, or you could go with "a guy who was instrumental in helping his team reach a European final earlier this year, has 48 international caps and was recently named their player of the year is somehow the same price as a guy who has never been a regular starter in his current side, has only 11 international caps to his name and is refusing to sign a contract extension in order to force a move away". Not to mention Kamara is also younger.

They are both pretty extreme comparisons that overlook the other variables that you mentioned.

It depends on what you'd like to emphasise to make your point.

How good somebody was 6 months ago doesn’t really reflect their current value if they struggle to get in to a poor team and if anything shows his own inconsistencies and limitations. The age between them is what a year and GG is also on a long term deal and plays in position that generally commands more cash. Papers will always speculate amounts but I just found the snapshot a tad funny.  There is less of this nonsense though I have found since an incredibly obese relations person left Rangers…

I don't really disagree to be fair. And I wasn't saying that each player should be valued at £6m, I was more getting at the fact you focused solely on the negatives and overlooked the positives when commenting on Kamara but focused solely on the positives and overlooked the negatives when commenting on Giakoumakis.

Example B as to why you shouldn’t take these things too seriously

Listen cunty, no player ever has experienced an old film atmosphere. Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Italy etc have no rivalries that generate that level of noise or intensity.

It was on the tv evening news sports roundup, and looks like it came from a different interview than the one you posted.

I don't know if it's only the online version, but the Sun is going with a MASSIVE exclusive about Alfredo Morelos.

He has had a haircut. 

Wait for it - not to be usurped!  The Daily Record are running a Barry Ferguson column in which he states Rangers will be a massive success again because Mick Beale is bringing back suits and brown brogues as part of their matchday uniform.
