this interview suggests he's primarily a right winger, despite seeming to have played more on the left.

:ROFLMAO: being unsure about one signing makes me a shite fan

Yes... outside of dribbling the only attacking stats are Touches in pen box and short & med pass completion. Particularly worrying are cross completion, shot assists, xA, npxG which he's below average for.

Which are those then 🤣

Exactly… Average/below average in almost every attacking statistic outside of dribbling.

200k fee + 4k/w x 52 x 4 ~ £1m

Just saying, this signing is probably costing us £1m+ in fee+wages and I can't see much coming from it.

Well I wasn't one of them so the point is moot.

It's the fact he's come from Australia that's throwing me off, not like we've just taken a punt on someone from league 2 or something. Like I said, you have to think he's been told he'll have a decent role to play here.

Come off it, he's made 5 league appearances this season. I like Tavares but being realistic he's very unlikely to make it here and should probably drop down a league or two.

I mean they're incomparable aren't they... Wright had plenty of pedigree.

Fabio hasn't got to a decent level at all, he's made one league start since he joined.

based on...? I'm just saying, this is either a miracle from the recruitment department or he simply won't be up to scratch. And we need 4 good quality wingers in the squad if we're going to be successful, one of our biggest downfalls last season.

Yeah but the point is he was much better Also 6 not 7.

He's not tearing up the Australian league, which is a poor standard of football. His underlying stats aren't very good He's 20, not 18. He was let go by Melbourne (CFG). Just can't see it personally. I'll be happy to be proved wrong.

Sakamoto was playing at a much higher level and wasn’t moving to the other side of the world. Just seems a bit odd.

Can't really work out this signing tbh - we've given him a 4 year deal and he must've been told we've got plans for him to move over from Australia but it would be a massive step up for him to contribute regularly in the Championship, and his numbers aren't even that impressive.

I assume they'll just be posting all summer. Keeps engagement up.

Burnely had a net negative transfer balance in his first year. To be fair they've pretty much all done alright so far. Arteta, Kompany, Maresca, Vilanova.

On 27 May 2019, Sessegnon achieved the Guinness World Records title for 'Fastest time to hit both football goal posts and crossbar', doing so in just 7.75 seconds take that back now
