Correct. Then we brought in Grimes who is a player who’s missed a handful of games since we were in L2. That changes things significantly. In preseason I said Torp could be important for us because his underlying numbers last season were impressive. He’s surpassed everyone’s expectations and is...
Equally, making up a random stat to beat a player with is stupid and dull. If a player is playing every game, does it really matter if they play 90 minutes or not?
Eccles has had a couple of injuries last season and still managed 39 appearances, 44 in 23/24 and 34 in 22/23. He doesn’t have...
If you want to go there, it’s Rudoni who’s missed 10 games… Torp has missed 1.
Grimes has barely missed a game since 2017 and is probably one of the most durable outfielders in the EFL for the period. I gave you the comparison to Eccles back in 23/24 and you didn’t acknowledge it because it’s...
What’s the relevance of a player not playing 90? In an era of 5 subs, half your outfielders get subbed…
For context, here’s what our other midfielders/forwards have played in :
Sakamoto - 6/14
EMC - 3/13
BTA - 8/16
Haji - 3/14
Grimes - 15/16
Rudoni - 6/6 (WBA sub excluded)
It’s pretty clear...
Then why bother bringing it up? One high net worth individual is worth thousands of lower income tax payers.
By all means pursue the ‘soak the rich’ policies you want, our tax regime is heavily reliant on a small % of taxpayers so the more of them that leave, the burden gets shifted down.
At...
No… They want high net-worth immigration.
The Top 1% make up 30% of tax receipts, so despite you brushing this off, the more high income people that leave, the burden shifts down.
It’s not like the government is borrowing more than expected.
You could argue it… doesn’t make it true.
We played 3-4-1-2/3-4-2-1 with Vik and he would always striker. Where he chooses to roam is up to him but it’s not the same as playing LW in a 4-2-3-1 where you have stricter defensive responsibilities.
What’s that stinky fish in a tin that hails from Scandinavia?
I just imagine Torp watching those videos on YouTube muttering ‘pathetic’ similar to principle skinner.
Vik Gyokeres is one of the best strikers in world football. Haji, with respect, is playing for a Championship team in his prime years.
Haji has also played a decent chunk at LW and I’ve pointed out many times he’s always scored more playing ST (shock).
Haji is a brilliant striker us and just...
Plenty of time before then, we don't have to worry about them until we've (hopefully) secured automatic promotion. Watford, depends on how they cope with AFCON, if they're in the mix for playoffs/autos or in midtable purgatory. It'll be a good game if its the former!
You’ve moving the goal...
Last season, I'm pretty sure he missed a lot of preseason that summer. When he joined in 23/24, it was at the start of the Norwegian preseason and it was pretty clear he wasn't primed to play. I don't get the formats of the other leagues he's played in but looks like he played in most of the...
