mrs miggins 0 Posted December 18, 2014 Hasn''t he only played like one game before he unfortunately got injured...yet now people want to sell him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,656 Posted December 18, 2014 [quote user="mrs miggins"]Hasn''t he only played like one game before he unfortunately got injured...yet now people want to sell him?[/quote]Yep he played for part of the game in the League Cup defeat at Shrewsbury and got subbed when injured at Sheffield Wednesday. He was signed with a dodgy injury record and with half the season nearly gone the rumoured 5 odd million spent on him looks like a poor buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add that to the 6 million spent on lafferty and Grabban. Easy said in hindsight, but looks very poor business by Adams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted December 18, 2014 Can''t we apply the Fox principal here, where the less you see of a player, the better he is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 29 Posted December 18, 2014 Fox finished 3rd in the player of the season voting in our first season back in the Premier League as well as being a vital player in the previous promotion season. People weren''t just imagining he was good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Lo 219 Posted December 18, 2014 [quote user="Iwans Big Toe"]Just wondering, don''t speak the language you see.[/quote]Flemish isn’t really a language, but rather a group of dialects spoken in the West of Belgium.However, the Dutch for "sick-note" is:"Ziekmelding", which is nothing like "Odjidja-Ofoe".What an odd question to ask on a football forum.

Mr Angry 1,511 Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah, well done K Lo, I was trying to think of a kind way of telling the OP he/she was being a dick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted December 19, 2014 Try this - Odidja-Ofoe is clearly of African origin as - I suspect - is the player. Nothing like the Fleming conglomeration of dialects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The latter two are sometimes considered separate languages.Linguistically, ''Flemish'' is sometimes used as a term for the language of the former County of Flanders especially West Flemish.] However, as a result of political emancipation of the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, the combined culture of that region (which consists of West Flanders, East Flanders, Flemish Brabant, Antwerp, Limburg and Brussels) has come to be known as ''Flemish'' and so sometimes are the four dialects or the common intermediate language.Despite the name, Brabantian and in particular its Antwerp dialect is the dominant contributor to the Flemish tussentaal. Using it for the official language in Flanders is misleading: the only official language in Flanders is standard Dutch.In fact Flemish is considered neither a full language nor a dialect, but rather sociolect. I''ll give you 5/10 for effort though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should also be proud of powers of discerning the obvious. That is seeing as how I was so desperate to mask the fact that I had copied and pasted it from Wikipedia I left links to Wikipedia in the post. If I don''t include a list of references with every post I make from now on will the Pink ''un Posting Police come and get me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
