Signed Saman Ghoddos

[Hippobee]

So we lose two midfielders to "long term" injuries and we bring back a trusted player that knows the club, is well liked by the players and happy to be a bit part player in various positions to help out (and we still are in for other players) and people are crying their eyes out because its not Messi or Mbappe.
People need to seriously grow up and put their big boy pants on.

The problem in this whole sorry situation is Matthew Benham who for the first time in my memory did something crass, thoughtless and stupid by raising everyone’s expectations with his post.

Saman has understandably suffered from the backlash and what is, given the circumstances, a sensible move is now being castigated and Ghoddos vilified.

Not clever Mr Benham.

I don't dislike Ghoddos. If he had stayed for another year, that would have been fine, but I wouldn't have expected him to start. What makes this totally underwhelming is:

a) a player we all know isn't going to improve us (why else did we get rid) has been recalled. Doesn't say much for our recruitment or B team.
b) Putting a clue on here about a new signing and Banana helping to fan the flames of a really big signing was only going to end badly, if indeed, that was the intended clue.

Collectively, we're all at fault for getting into a frenzy and excited, but that excitement needn't have been allowed to get out of control without the original post and plenty of encouragement. After the Jo Jo debacle, I really thought this was a genuine clue for an exciting signing. Now he's signed, the more the clue fits and it makes sense there have been no media links about other signings. It really would have been better to post nothing - pages of crap on the Johnson & Gonzalez thread was better than this deflation.

And none of this is Ghoddos's fault. He will do his best for us, but has been made a bit of a scapegoat. He's also had no pre-season. We really do need to get someone else of quality in - it looks like Johnson or bust.

Yes same here. Feels like we have had the p… taken out of us. Not intended I am sure but if that was the case a serious misjudgement was made. Left me with a sour feeling going into tomorrow , and I am someone who has rose tinted glasses on anything related to the club. What next, a tweet trailing Valencia coming back as mascot coach?

Lol, bit sensitive, big game tomorrow, let's stay in that top 6.

Drop him an email.

Drop him an email.

Doesn’t he read it on here ? And if not, why not ??? Banana would be livid if that’s not the case ! ???

It’s just how I feel. We all know football is emotional so for MB (& Banana apparently) to take. the p… is disappointing. It’s so easy for them to do and was uncalled for and not classy.

Nobody is taking the piss out of you. You'll still be watching a Premier league team tomorrow remember.

And in the same sentence, we may still be getting that extra signing, so thats why i dont understand why everyone is getting so pissy about Ghoddos coming back and deciding that THIS is what MB and Banana were alluding to?
It wouldnt be like some of our fans to make knee jerk decisions now, would it?

So you are SURE that they were doing that?
ITK?

Think it is Sam J = Samman

Flock of Seagulls -> Iran ~> Ghoddos

Saman and Zanka remind me of one those day-rate contractors at work who keep their assignment extended and end up staying for years.

I can't see how that clue can possibly allude to anything else now. As others have mentioned, for there to be a signing all but done, it would be impossible in this day and age 24 hours later for there not be be some kind of leak on twitter via an agent or something.

Not saying we're not still trying for someone else - I'm sure we are, but can't see how that clue could directly relate to it. Would be delighted to be wrong, of course.

Zanka has been quality for us when needed and someone that will do a job for us and do it well.

Are you suggesting that he’s never let us down? If so, I would agree.

 

[Pixelator]

Everyone who has expressed disappointment in this signing can f*** off and follow Chelsea as far as I'm concerned.

If you think you can do better send your CV in to the club.
