Samuel Bastien

[The Bedlington Terrier]

It's obvious Vinni doesn't rate him mon ami, and I'm not being Captain Hindsight either, wise after the event. I said after the first game of the season that I didn't like was I was seeing, and started a thread about it. Hasn't taken long for the manager to share my concerns, and both me and Vinni can't be wrong, can we ?

VK keeps on playing a grossly out of form Roberts instead of the virulent Vitinho so "Yes", I am sure you can both be wrong - usually at the same time.

Why did he pull stumps up to get him in at Turf Moor if he doesn't like him mon ami. Makes no sense whatsoever, does it? I think you are on one of your unfathomable "missions" and not liking Bastien is your latest raison d'être.

Nothing 'latest' about it mon ami, I first voiced my concerns about Bastien on August 10th, five weeks ago. See post 1 and post 7, in which I explain that I was expecting more from Bastien and give my reasons why. I suspect Vinni was the same, confidently expecting him to hit the ground running, only to find out very quickly that it all seemed beyond him.

Unlike you BT, who'd rather sail a ship into an iceberg and go down with it, rather than admit you were wrong, Vinni is pragmatic. He can see Bastien isn't up to it, so he won't play him. He's signed about 15 players I think, not sure I've long ago lost count, they're not all going to be successful, some aren't going to hack it, nothing wrong with that, it's perfectly normal, it just looks like Bastien might be one of them.

You're not niggled are you mon ami, because I spotted that Bastien might be a dud after just one game, you didn't, and now Vincent agrees with me ? Surely not ?

He was not an unknown quantity to VK though sinkov, he was amongst the first of 16 new signings, so he must rate him.

VK seemed happy enough with him at Wigan and Sammy reciprocated with a good performance and a goal, I'd give the lad a bit of time before you sling him on the knacker's yard.

I haven't slung him on the knacker's yard mon ami, Vinni has, and I would imagine he knows more about football and footballers than thee and me put together.
Nevertheless, if Sammy gets it together and forces his way back into the team, no one will be happier than me, apart from Samuel himself of course, good luck to him, but for the moment it looks like I was right........again.

Supersub6 will know this better than me mon ami, but I reckoned on the metronome you are wrong more often than 75 beats per minute during the marching yesterday.

Don't drag me into your arguments BT, all I will say is that, although yesterday brought back many memories, the thought of marching at 75 beats per minute whilst carrying and blowing an instrument that weighed 38lbs just gave me a lot of knee pain. Whilst not a true slow march pace, that pace is very hard on the body, the guys did brilliantly.

I was just pointing out sinkov is wrong 75 times per minute, thanks for confirming the beat rate mein freund.

That's most unfair BT, when I mentioned Bastien I was right wasn't I, you have to agree with that, which means I cannot be wrong more than 74 times per minute. Come on, play the game, be fair mon ami.

I'm sticking with the original 75 wrongs per minute mon ami, I've been listening to your drivel for more years than I care to remember, and I see no imminent change whatsoever.
