Wrong. It is not at all relevant to the discussion. This was your initial post:
This was my reply:
So very clear Liverpool’s spending is irrelevant to the conversation. Now why you’d bring it up, or now Barca for that matter (which took you long enough), isn’t clear to me and I wouldn’t want to speculate past the speculation I’ve already made because none of the answers reflect well on you.
The point with the season is Luis Enrique and how good he is. How good PSG are playing right now and have been is great, but any analysis of Luis Enrique should be wider in scope than less than a full season. For me, he’s a good manager, but he doesn’t have the longevity of some other managers who are generally considered better. And to be clear, I’m a big fan of his. I like him more than the vast majority of managers out there including Guardiola which I don’t think many Cules would say. You should also consider the fact that I have him as a manager in the fantasy league and took him because no one else, including yourself, had him.
That may be laughable to you, but I suspect it’s not laughable to a majority of people considering the argument. A discussion about Lucho and “what he’s building with a team of guys aged 18-24” means that the context of how much that team of guys cost is entirely relevant. What is laughable is you referring to someone referring to that being brought up is “whiny”.
You clearly don’t understand what it means to move the goalposts, something I didn’t do as this post yet again demonstrates. You on the other hand took a discussion about Lucho and “what he’s building with a team of guys aged 18-24” and brought Liverpool’s spending into it along with now Barca’s. That is moving the goalposts of what the discussion is about and again why you’re doing it is something I won’t speculate on.
How you should have replied to my initial post would read something like this:
Yes, PSG did spend a lot bringing those young players in. Other clubs spend as much and probably more and don’t bring in nearly as many good players as PSG have done. You can credit Luis Campos with that. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that the manager has to put it all together and as of right now Luis Enrique has put it all together as is evidence by the fact that PSG are one of the best teams in the game.
As for this season, just further evidence that he’s put it all together with this young team as they are undefeated in L1.
Now that is a reply you should have made. It wouldn’t have covered everything, but would have been a much better reply.
