But wasn't N'Gog a replacement for the Crouch style player, which Nemeth obviously isn't. It's all about having possibilities no?

We don't play with a Crouch type of player. We also have Babel who is miles better than him.Originally posted by Reggie View PostBut wasn't N'Gog a replacement for the Crouch style player, which Nemeth obviously isn't. It's all about having possibilities no?
I don't understand at all why Rafa signed Ngog and I probably never will.Just believe and you never know what will happen.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

Ngog isn't even a possibility if you ask me. Other players is simply better than him.Originally posted by Reggie View PostWell no not as part of Rafa's first choice game plan we don't, but as I said he likes to have possibilities. Babel is not really a Crouch type player either.
I think Rafa made a gamble, not the first time that happened. He wasn't that expensive so we will get the money back if he isn't good enough.
It's called a no risk gamble.Just believe and you never know what will happen.

BTW I'm not trying to argue that N'Gog was a good signing I'm just arguing Rafa's possible reasoning for it

Every manager make gambles in the transfer market, I have no problems with that. If you succeed then you will save the club £10m+.
I see him as a gamble. Rafa will sell him off if he isn't good enough. We don't have that much money so Rafa will have to make a gamble or two.Just believe and you never know what will happen.

If you take no risk, it certainly can't be a gamble now can it?Originally posted by AFII View PostNgog isn't even a possibility if you ask me. Other players is simply better than him.

If you gamble you do take risks. No?

The gamble was whether or not N'gog would be good enough.Originally posted by pondus View PostIf you take no risk, it certainly can't be a gamble now can it?

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

No, it's not a financial gamble but it is a gamble as if he plays and is crap and we lose because then the team would have been better if someone better had played.Originally posted by pondus View PostAnd if he wasn't good enough we will get our money back, so.... no gamble?
All the same I agree a "no risk gamble" is an oxymoron.
I suggest we stop this soon as it's wearing me out. I wish I'd never got involved to be honest..
