Onward and Downward

[Come from away]

The life of a cynic:
Step One - We'll never sign anybody - just check the fax machine.
Step two - Player signs.
Step three - He's rubbish!
Step four - He plays well.
Step five - We'll sell him in the next window cause we're a selling club.
Step six - Player stays.
Step seven - We'd have been better off if we'd signed XXX.
Step eight - and so it goes .... cause for a cynic there is no end to the joys life brings.

From a fan, and sad to say, an optimist.

Step 9 - player plays well all season and gets player of the year.
Step 10 - player has one bad game the next year, deemed "past his best."
Step 11 - Established as most talented player in the team.
Step 12 - "Where is the Prince's money and why haven't we signed Messi?"
Step 13 - Sign Messi.
Step 14 - "We should have got Ronaldo. Where is the Prince's money?"

Yeah, some will say that, and some will say cloughs the messiah, some of those saying those things won't go to games though..

Form an opinion by watching him play football, not by what somebody else says online..

Is he? Or is this just another complete over reaction to one (wow, maybe even two) people saying they don't think he's a great signing?

Check out the Confirmed thread (after he'd signed). As I see it only Latters has expressed a negative response to the signing (and not simply by saying "he's shit"), and maybe one other coming out on that side of the "fence". Does this really mean he's been declared as rubbish when so many, in the same thread, are so happy with it?

Very bizarre place this at times.
