Failing up to a point and then turning it around means you're not a flop.

You're either a flop or you're not.

Which is why you're wrong to call him a flop at this stage.

How soon? We'll that's subjective isn't it since in football terms a 'flop' doesn't have its own set of rules to define it.

So yes I'd say so far Lindelof is a flop. He's been woeful in the games I've seen him play.

"Failing up to a point and then turning it around means you're not a flop."

Correct and that may happen. Since it hasn't happened, he's currently a flop.

This sums it all up:

'No you can't totally fail at a club then totally succeed.'

Flop = total failure.

Therefore it would legitimate to switch 'totally fail' in the sentence above with 'flop'.

But you're saying you can flop and then succeed.

That is it. You're done. That single sentence has proven yourself wrong.

Well played.

Wrong.

It means he's currently failed to achieve what we expect of him.

He isn't yet a flop because he could yet turn it around.

So when did Lindelof become a flop?

September?

Dodging the question.

How soon can a player become a flop?

One week? One month?

One match?

I'm not dodging it, I told you I didn't know the answer. I don't.

Why don't you know?

He's been rubbish all season hasn't he?

So how long into his poor season is he regarded a flop?

It's a simple question.

Winston what part of 'I don't know' don't you understand?

I'm not going to make up a number for you.

Due to it being a short space of time and not having watched all United's games I can't pinpoint a time. I can say however at this moment I regard him as a flop as he has played poorly whenever I have seen him and he was brought in to start games but can't get in ahead of Smalling who has had a poor season.

You're saying you don't know because you realise how ridiculous it is.

You know, apparently, that Lindelof is a flop.

Yet you can't offer any insight into when you realised this.

Did it come to you in a dream?

This is brilliant.

'No you can't totally fail at a club then totally succeed'

'No you can't flop at a club and then totally succeed'

These two sentences mean the same thing.

Yet you only agree with one of them.

Why is it ridiculous?

Because you're basically saying a player can be a flop in his first few months at a club.

Laughable. Genuinely, it's making me laugh.

Feel free to clarify if not.

You're boxed into a corner, TOOR.

First few months? The season ends in under two months. So far he's regarded as a flop, as is Pogba. However Pogba is the most expensive flop.

It's funny that you believe that Winston.

So you've only just started thinking he's a flop then?

I thought you didn't know?

No. I don't remember when I started thinking it.

At least you're having fun.
