Anguissa: Merged

[Deeping_white]

Silva know best

Silva wanted Anguiissa out on loan to free up for Wilson. I am sure Silva likes Anguissa but Silva was happy with Seri, Reed, Cairney and Chalobah that were cheaper to keep.

Just no where remotely near being true. Silva said he wanted to keep him but he wanted to leave. Can you blame him? One of the best midfielders in the league and fans who don't know football wanted him out hahah.

One of the best midfielders in the league
Comical

Sadly can't make you understand football but it's nice you watch it for the pretty jerseys or whatever.

OK mr know it all
I'd take Joao all day long over him, plays for the badge and doesn't think he's supreme to others

Oh yeah and he can score

But what do I know I just like pretty jerseys

The fact you think Palhinha is someone who would play instead of Anguissa instead of alongside says everything we need to know hahahah.

Palhinha a nsiled on starter for me even if we had Zambo to grace us with his presence. Would he get a start in place of Reed? No. Would he get a start in place of Perfeira? No. Would he make the bench? Not in place of Cairney so who would he displace?

All of the claims of his excellence are based around performances whilst not wearing a Fulham shirt (with the exception of one match v Liverpool). I have always judged our players by their performances for FFC and only FFC. On that basis he weren't much cop.

He would play instead of Reed as he is lightyears ahead of him. No one said he would play ahead of Palhinha because they're two completely different positions. Then you go on to reference Pereira and Cairney who are again, two completely different positions.

No, I just listed metrics that show he was one of the top performers in the league while with Fulham in 20/21. Anyone who watched him could tell his level is top 6 and we had him, used him terribly and he still did everything brilliantly except score (which isn't what he's asked to do).

It is also worth mentioning that in the top 5 leagues in Europe, Anguissa currently is top 10 across all players for winning the ball back in the opposition half showing that he absolutely can do what Reed does (with better technical skill) and probably just needed a half decent system and coach to get the best out of him which we never had in his two full seasons with us

Careful, Freibird...
That sort of fact-based thinking could ruin this whole thread...
:-)

No facts allowed, just Perry Geytons mythical descriptions of how he played. So strange how a team like Napoli (sitting unbeaten and top of Serie A btw) have never come in for Harrison Reed who is a better player according to the "experts" here hahaha.

So Napoli haven't put a bid in for Harrison so that clearly means Harrison is rubbish then ?

You just embarrassed yourself Freibird with that comment...

Take a bow !!

Surely time to lock this now? Thread is just Freibird banging on about how much he loves Anguissa then slating others' opinions when we point out that, actually, he was a bit rubbish.

It's not though is it. He said he would be one of if not the best CM in the Prem. He wouldn't be. He's good. But no where near that level currently. Love Anguissa and like Silva, was gutted we sold him but let's not pretend the debate has been completely one sided.

I don't mind that Freibird has his opinions, that's his point of view and he's entitled. I don't agree because we are clearly different, I watch football and form my opinion accordingly whereas he starts from the stats and forms his views that way.
What I object to is that in almost every post he can't resist an insult or a dig at those whose opinions differ from his. That's so juvenile and has me wondering if he's just a young kid?

Precisely.

FACT
Anguissa didn't give a toss about our club and couldn't wait to leave, put in a load of average performances and never played for the badge
Harrison Reed gives a 1000% every time he steps onto the pitch

I know who I'd rather have in a Fulham shirt

I think it's pretty obvious he didn't want to play for the club in the championship and even with Silva as manager, didn't want to stay at the club either based on the fact Silva said he wanted to keep him and yet we sold him. Not going as far as PG but that's fairly obvious to me by the facts laid bare.

Judging it upon what I witnessed with my own eyes
Performances, body language etc.
Parker may well of played a part in that but previously he was anonymous

Not really. We had Anguissa for a few seasons, and he did absolutely nothing to stand out. A box to box midfielder who was too lightweight for the English leagues, rarely found himself in the box and literally never scored. Considered himself too good for the Championship (despite stinking up the top division) and then engineered a move twice. Clearly Silva didn't see enough in him to keep him around and I don't blame him.

Yet we have one or two posters insisting he was the bees knees just because he looked half decent in a very strong Napoli team. He hasn't played for us for a year. Time to get over it.

He signed up a month ago and all of his posts are about how much he loves Anguissa, so I'm pretty he's either the man himself or his wife at this point  :005:

Actually, it's you on this occasion who is just wrong. 'Clearly Silva didn't see enough in him to keep him around and I don't blame him.' Is a complete lie. Silva explicitly said upon him and Fabio leaving, they were two players who didn't want to see leave the club.

I am glad Anguissa has moved on, and that's a fact.

Silva desperately wanted to keep him. Best player in the team top of Serie A who just destroyed Liverpool in the Champions League. Please list the games in which he was "stinking up the top division".

I love how Gammons ignore statistics because they hate facts and not being able to tell their equally "bright" mates "Anguissa is rubbish mate, we need propa players like Darren Beckford"

Exactly, Football is great in that people who have absolutely no idea in what they're watching can enjoy the atmosphere and songs, but it's when they actually try to talk about football, things get very worrying.
