An example of how Harry was a hypocrite - please, let's keep this civil

[MattyRangers]

He also said he has no issue with players receiving high wages as long as they work hard and earn them..... As usual you engage selective hearing and only pick out relevant parts of any discussion / report / interview to suit your latest boring argument.

Exactly.

Can you guys provide me with the quote please, because I missed that bit.

We've heard all this before though. To take just one example, Luke Young was brought in on big wages as Bradley Orr wasn't good enough. Then when Young turned out to not be good enough either, Bosingwa was brought in on even bigger wages. Wages that he'd apparently be good enough to justify. The same patter has played out all over our squad over the past 18 months.

The question shouldn't be: are Remy and Samba good players? (of course they are, concerns over motivation and fitness aside)

Rather, we should be asking whether the overall strategy of signing increasingly expensive players is the right one for us.

Which is a very valid point and a good post.

My comment was simply in reply to Marshy's incorrect example of accusing Arry of being a hypocrite.

What happens when a guy on a massive salary stops working hard? I don't think we have 'hard work'/'stay in form' clauses in any of our contracts.

Here's a quote
Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

[MattyRangers]

Can you guys provide me with the quote please, because I missed that bit.

“There are a lot of players at this club who earn far too much money; far too much money for their ability and what they give to the club."

“I’ve not bought any players who have underperformed,” he said. “If they perform like they can, then I’ve got no problems.”

Happy now Princess?

Oh but Harry definitely is a hypocrite. Nothing too bad about that in and of itself though - he's very good at playing the media and giving them what they want, to the point that no one will ever call him out over his constant 180 degree turns.

It's football, not the UN, and I don't mind Arry talking a bit of nonsense to ensure we keep getting a friendly ride from teh media. But let's not pretend he really is some sort of oracle of truth
