You're not really saying anything about Fred, though. You're implying he's not good enough to play for any team in one of the top leagues, and that the Turkish league is his level.
I’m not implying anything. I’m stating the fact that him going to Turkey would signify no club in the ‘top leagues’ made him a transfer priority. That should tell us something.
There are so many other factors you're just choosing not to include here as to why PL clubs aren't bidding for him. If you think Oliver Norwood and Ben Osborn are better midfielders than Fred, then I don't really know what to say.
You keep throwing out names & points that are not being made. If all things are equal of course Fred is demonstrably ‘better’ than the further 2 names you’ve thrown out but things aren’t equal.
Fred could easily be playing in the PL
And here he is going to Turkey.
but for whatever reasons that didn't happen, similarly to a lot of other players who went to lesser leagues when they're good enough to be in the PL.
Exactly.
You’ve started this near day long tirade against something I never said. Now it’s either wilful ignorance or misunderstanding but let’s clear this up.
If about 75% of the league were offered Fred for a fraction of his wage they’d take him because for that he would prove good value, he’s a former United player & Brazil international but that isn’t the option, Fred’s demands are quite obviously higher than those that these teams find acceptable for what he would return.
You’re misunderstanding correlation & causation. Going to Turkey doesn’t make a player ‘bad’. A player being available all Summer for a reasonable fee ending up in Turkey instead of one of 10s of clubs across the continent does however point to said player not being particularly highly sought after.
If he were half as good as a number of you protest the point would be moot cause EtH would have kept him.
@Abraxas puts it’s perfectly in his post. I never called Fred useless or ‘shit’.
Wow. What a great way to argue. RVP and Fred are much more comparable when they were leaving United than Kane at a similar age leaving Tottenham. You've missed the poster's point intentionally it looks like.
No, you’re attempting to miss mine intentionally without digging back to my initial post. Feel free to go back to the post in which he takes umbridge & find me calling him any of the multitude of things he accuses me of. Apparently I think Fred is ‘shit’, I do not. Which in turn means I think RvP must be ‘shit’, which I don’t & so on. . .
If the basis of defence for Fred is RvP went to Turkey then fine, does nothing for the fact that no club in a ‘big league’ finds him worth it at whatever his cost is.
