americanfox Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 No he wasn't. He was decent for a side such as ours, but Fuchs is just pure quality. Will agree to disagree. He was still a weak link in the promotion-chasing sides.
TJB-fox Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 Will agree to disagree. He was still a weak link in the promotion-chasing sides.He was part of a championship title winning side, and a team finishing 12th in the premiership, for a club with the money to go out and buy a replacement if the manager saw fit, **** off calling him shite you utter moron
americanfox Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 He was part of a championship title winning side, and a team finishing 12th in the premiership, for a club with the money to go out and buy a replacement if the manager saw fit, **** off calling him shite you utter moron We probably just rate players differently. Konch, whatever may be, really wasn't more than a Championship-level starter for a mid-table team. And arguing that he was part of a team that "finished 12th in the Premiership" -- well, we finished 14th -- totally ignores the fact that once he was frozen out of the side w the change in formation, the side improved.

Is James Jones good because he follows LeBron James everywhere and thus won a few rings?
wolfgang amadeus Posted 22 December 2015 Posted 22 December 2015 Think after Mahrez/Drinkwater/Albrighton Fuchs is probably our best passer too, been quality since he's been starting games.
TJB-fox Posted 22 December 2015 Posted 22 December 2015 It's also tremendously silly to say because he was on a title winning team, he was good. Is James Jones good because he follows LeBron James everywhere and thus won a few rings? I didn't say the reason he's good is because he was once part of a championship winning team, the reason I think he's good is maybe because he's played in the top flight mostly all his life and for England- but that's slightly irrelevant to this point. If you couldn't see what he offered us then i don't even know what to say to be honest, it would just be ignorance. Yes he was a weak link but still contributed massively to our success

Yes he was a weak link but still contributed massively to our success By virtue of being a "weak link", he was not great. That's really all there is to it. He was not indispensable to any success whatsoever. Plug in any other competent player and things really wouldn't haven't change -- they might have even been better.
Vlad the Fox Posted 22 December 2015 Posted 22 December 2015 Why can't some people show respect to ex players? We were improving as his career moved towards its end, it was inevitable that he would eventually struggle in this team but as such he played a part in its success and we should be grateful for that.

I'm sorry but you're a ****ing moron if you don't appreciate what Konchesky did here. I'm not trying to pass him on as Patrice Evra but he did his job

Plug in any other competent player and things really wouldn't haven't change -- they might have even been better.Any team in the world- good or bad, has weak links so you could say 'plug in any other competent player' about any team in history really, so that basically renders your argument as pointless

Konchesky was a poor player for this club. Hey, he wasn't as awful and horrible as Mills or Beckford, so I can appreciate that.Definitely not the worst we've seen but I am very grateful this club has so much better now. Thanks for the pointless laughs.
NewEnglandFox Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 Who is our backup at LB? Will it be a CB or a rare change of formation? A lot of minutes for Mr. Fox with no one standing behind him coming up.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 Who is our backup at LB? Will it be a CB or a rare change of formation? A lot of minutes for Mr. Fox with no one standing behind him coming up. Maybe the same left back we had before he came in the side?.... Mr.Schlupp
Foxymcoxy Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 Maybe the same left back we had before he came in the side?.... Mr.Schlupp Schlupp is injured. Not sure, is Chilwell coming back in January? Hopefully get a few weeks out of him then loan him back out as Schluppy is nearly back to fitness.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 Schlupp is injured. Not sure, is Chilwell coming back in January? Hopefully get a few weeks out of him then loan him back out as Schluppy is nearly back to fitness. See what you mean... De Laet played left back when on loan at Norwich so he can fill the void if needed.

Wymsey Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 Also, How do you make these motions? Probably very much requires IT expertise.

spaghettilegs Posted 23 December 2015 Posted 23 December 2015 That's me in the video who he came to see. Couldn't believe it. Rest of the day was a right off I was buzzing around the office. Was so shocked that on his day off he took the time to drive to my work dressed as Santa to give me a shirt and boots, and I work in Cov as well. I told him he would hopefully never have to come back for footballing reasons. :xmasbiggrin:
