Only downside of flogging Binks, Lati and/or Kitch is the standard of the replacements. They've all proven to be below average Champ defenders

From what I could find zero errors leading to shots/goals on the season. Loses possession 7.2 times a game. Thomas 12, Binks 12.6, Kitch 8.4. Arguably lowest because unlike the other three he doesn't attempt progressive passes. Errors metric doesn't seem particularly sophisticated fwiw

71st percentile for progressive carries vs Champ CBs is close to good, although maybe slightly warped by his games at RB where he would have more scope to carry the ball. Eye test and metrics show he's a below average CB in this league. Seems like a nice guy but for 1 million plus, he should be...

Get as many out for as much as possible and start over in the summer. Dovin/EMC/Wright (debateable), flog the lot

Not a top three CB on Champ average

Lati is absolutely dreadful technically and possibly the slowest player in the squad/league who is sub 30. We want to build up from the back and be progressive under FL, he isn't capable. Turning a decent profit on him will be the best thing the recruitment department have done since being...

Big first Lampard red flag was him watching the last 30 minutes of us getting pressed to death/being engaged in a physical battle as opposed to a football game and then making zero tactical/selection adjustments at HT. Was so obvious that bypassing midfield from restarts was the best option...

Game state obviously comes into play as well as the eye test, but this is encouraging/hilariously depressing. We've been behind in 15/20 games (albeit Wednesday at home was last kick winner for them so it's 14 in reality), so you can see how we would rack up xG as most teams in the division tend...

This is it. Hard to see us being embroiled in a relegation battle under this ownership/recruitment/coaching setup, but hard to envisage us being genuine promotion candidates moving forward. Even if we were to spend big in January I wouldn't trust a recruitment team who've had 18 months to...

Ian Evatt has a far more successful and encouraging body of work in the last five years than Frank Lampard

Hiring Lampard just lacks imagination from King/Austin. Doesn't reflect well on the proffessional functionality of the club if a 'jobs for the boys' appointment is made. Falls in line with the sketchy recruitment since summer 2023. I'll support him, and theoretically we should see an improvement...

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/lee-carsley-england-job-thomas-tuchel-b1194459.html Not a man who wants to work with Jack Rudoni

Did King not mention on Monday that re recruitment, the head coach would be involved as Robins was. Does King have links to the Redknapps as well? Collomosse said only the other day that it's a shortlist of 5/6, now it's two but also Carsley as a third option. Quite a specific update, but still...

Work in the betting industry and have priced these type of markets in the past, these markets aren't worth referencing as a source of information because: Max stake and max win will be capped at tiny amounts so the bookmaker doesn't get caught out out by insider information Prices will be...

Brian Barry-Murphy is one who I imagine has applied and in terms of pedigree it probably doesn't get much better: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5776122/2024/09/20/manchester-city-brian-barry-murphy-interview/

Tapped out/regressed to norm with injuries. Either way if you look at the midfielders who signed for bottom five Prem clubs in the last week of the window, it throws doubt on his chances of getting a move then.

FWIW during pre-season I was told by someone who had a connection to Sheaf's missus that he was 100% gone before the deadline and it was one of a few prem clubs. Evidently didn't happen. All this ITK shite serves no one barring the person getting high off of being 'ITK'. Could do with less of it...

So not a primary source then
