How the hell has this thread descended into a dismembering of Ben Mee and barney about who is or isn't a racist? Take it elsewhere, please...

Take your pointless post elsewhere. Ben Mee's inadequacy is directly related to the thread title. Use your brain.

Do you need to be unnecessarily offensive? Maybe check who set up the thread before criticising. Take your bile elsewhere.

Apologies. Annoys me when someone complains about the direction of a thread while adding nothing.

Fair point if it wasn't for so many descending into abuse, which spoils so many of the threads lately.

If ever a post were to encapsulate all that is good and bad about this message board then surely this is it!

Good OP leading to some lively debate and some god)and not so good) witty remarks.
Someone decides to be quite critical of a player and others defend said player. Nothing wrong in that, we are all entitled to our opinions and others entitled to challenge them.
Then a small number of idiots start throwing insults, try to appear clever etc and it descends into a slanging match.
At least we had quite a few good posts before the idiots joined in this time.

Congratulations, you've all just spent as much time / space analysing and recapping the post as those 'idiots' who derailed it.

Not really, I skipped the last two pages once it became a slanging match.
Was quite an enjoyable read up until then. Even quite liked your analysis of Ben Mee's faults. Very thorough and well made argument, even if your analysis was fundamentally flawed.

However, other than perhaps Assombalonga, we have yet to be linked with someone more exciting. With a right back, right winger and centre back seemingly still on the shopping list, do you think it is likely that we will make that marquee signing that will set the pulses racing? If we are going to splash the cash, I would personally like to see it done on a creative attacking player.
Thought I'd bring us back online...personally, a "creative attacking player" means to me, a player who has a free role! Something which doesn't fit into our current system. We've plenty of players now who can play a decent pass if the front men make the right runs.

CH is crucial. Ours both seem to be heading into the season with small injuries
