Was your other post just as positive? :dry:
Give me strength……..
Ooh I see what you did there, use of bold to indicate I have only one other post, I like it. Plus a (not so smiley) smile. Thanks for the warm welcome sir!

Feel free to let me know how many posts I have to have before I can start contributing.I think you’ll find, sir, that it was really your opening gambit of “Ive not posted here for a while” that opened you up to a little critism……….your ‘warm welcome’ – that you seem so much to crave – would have been extended at your overture.
To suggest that Mauro is the slowest striker we have ever had says to me that you are either not very old or you have not been watching for very long……there were many others before him.
However, I’m sure that you’ll get along fine here – there are others that are just as highly strung.
Welcome aboard. ;) There, no smile again
I know that I’ve said this before but the BBC’s south american football correspondent replied to me in his blog about Boselli (prior to him playing a game for us) that he didn;t think he would be a success as he needs chances creating for him & that he didn’t think Latics would create as many as Estudiantes were doing & that he contributed little outside of the penalty area
From what little we got to see of him I’d say that summary was pretty much spot on so I’m a bit baffled as to why people are saying he is a good hold up, lay off, get on the end of chances player.
I don’t think he’ll suit the new system any more than he suited 4-5-1.
Also some seem to suggest him & Di Santo playing in the same starting line up & with the same formation & I’m not sure how that would work. The 3-4-3 thing needs 2 attacking midfielders in the mould of Maloney & Moses & not strikers playing in those roles – Boselli wouldn’t be suited to that role & whilst Di Santo certainly has more aspects to his game to be able to adapt better to different roles he can’t do what Moses & Maloney do (and their skills are why they’re good in those roles)Anyway, if he is given another crack of the whip I hope he proves me completely & totally wrong

‘I’ve not posted on here for a while’ opens me up to critisism? Got me there bud? I won’t even bother asking why?
I crave no ‘warm welcome’. I merely gave my opinion and therefore feel no need for acceptance from you or anyone.
Yes, of course, you are right in my believing that Boselli is slow merely shows that I am young and have not followed Wigan for too long (at this point may I borrow your ‘give me strength’ quote)and bow to your undeniable, deeper, longer passion for
ouryour team.As for the ‘highly strung’ Jeez fella look it up, are you sure you deduce that from my post? Quite the opposite I would offer you. As I started this conversation with I don’t believe Boselli to be good enough, this offers no inference to excitement whatsoever or did you not know what highly strung meant?
Anyways enjoy the season, I would love Boselli to be the answer as would you. You have worn me down and I am off to check if my pocket money will stretch to adding him to the back of my shirt.

I thought we’d already covered this one months ago Tyldesley?
In my opinion the 3-4-3 will suit Boselli as the two wide players are wing-backs, not additional forwards/advanced midfielders (or whatever), therefore, their purpose in attack is to get forward and put crosses (both high and low) into the box. Under the old system, the two players who drifted out wide were Rodallega and Moses and they were encouraged to cut inside with the ball and get shots on goal.
With the extra balls into the box, Boselli should get more chances.
Not sure how Boselli and Di Santo would work in a starting lineup; I’ll leave that to the manager. I suspect only one of them will play at a time – with the other sitting on the bench and offering a different type of attacking option.
And as for you being proven totally and completely wrong, I very much doubt you will hold your hands up to that if it happens! ;)

We did have the discussion but I didn’t agree with you – yes more crosses do come into the box in the new system BUT an important cog in it is Di Santo & his ability to graft, drop deep, link up etc.. & none of that appears to be in Boselli’s armoury.
If you lose that from the system then it wouldn’t work as well IMO & you wouldn’t get as many crosses coming in for anyone to get on the end ofAnd as it happens I don’t think that I’ve ever been proved completely & totally wrong so i don’t know how I’d react ;) :P

Yes, I remember you saying that now – but not sure if I replied last time.
I agree that Di Santo’s work is important to the team and that he stretches the opposition, but I’d say his influence was more on the likes of Moses and Maloney getting into the box and getting goals. I don’t think he has much influence on the two wingback getting forward and getting balls into the box, and I think they’d do it whether or not he was on the pitch.
Please don’t reply,No one tells me what to do anymore……it’s a shame you appear not to enjoy that same freedom.
Oh! Enjoy the season too.
We never played a 4-5-1 it was blatantly a 4-3-3…

I feel I’m being followed now!
I didn’t tell you what to do. That would be ‘Do not reply’ I merely put PLEASE don’t reply.‘Enjoy freedom’?…how do I do that with you telling me how wrong and young I am?
Please take time to read your input into this rambling debacle.
(I’m not telling you to do that you understand)End of transmission, any more and you win!
