Originally posted by dsqpr View PostJust to be clear Hove, I don't think it is disrespectful to say that any particular player is better than Charlie. However, it certainly IS (IMHO) disrespectful to say that any player is THREE TIMES BETTER than Charlie! And I also think it is disrespecting Charlie to say that he is only worth 10m when top forwards, of which he is one, are clearly valued at close to 30m. I realize his contract situation will affect any transfer FEE but it does not affect his VALUE. It just seems to me that "the grass is always greener" and people don't quite realize what a gem have. Both as a player and a professional.

Originally posted by Hove Ranger View PostOr maybe they genuinely think Benteke is better than Austin. I'm sure most fans are aware of what a gem Charlie is to us but that isnt the point, it is how good he is in comparison to other players. Why anyones loyalty to our players should be questioned because they believe a player is better than one of ours is beyond me, even if the difference of ability is quantified. Also the point about Charlie being a "top forward" is just your opinion and thus if someone feels he is worth £10 mill they are more than entitled to and it isnt disrespectful. They could equally argue that your opinion is biased and clouded by your affiliation to qpr (like you have suggested with the grass is always greener comment) and that also wouldnt be disrespectful
Sure, my opinion may be biased but it is also supported by the facts.
I think that not giving Charlie the credit he deserves for his performances and results is most definitely showing him disrespect - and that includes under-valuing him or saying that somebody is three times better than he is (or, generally, just not appreciating what a good player he is or what a good season he has had)!'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

I did categorically say that I don't think this is showing any disrespect to Charlie but I guess you didn't read that bit.
