I used to think you were smart. Now, I can clearly see your critical thinking skills are not there. It shouldn’t be hard to piece the logic together here. Others have even commented and can follow. Unfortunately I see what I’m dealing with now.
I understand your logic just fine. The problem is you claimed you were only taking about FAs but then introduced a trade into the discussion. So again you started down this trade road first. I just followed.
So my logic is simple. If we are now using trades to justify our arguments then my argument is impact players are readily available via FA or Trade and Poles just needs to find and acquire those impact players. No need to cry woe is me. Good GMs find impact players all the time. You are confused because Poles hasnt been good and so you confuse his inability to consistently find impact players as there barely being any.
If you are allowed to modify your argument to include trades then so can I. Pretty simple really.
And dont worry, I never thought you were smart.
