No, he's a good player who is improving all the time. That's why a team like West Ham are interested. In fact loads of the well established English centre backs transitioned from the championship.
That's true but then he has got a great opportunity to play a full season in the Prem next season. It'll be toxic at West Ham this season, not a great environment to go into.
Signing a player needs a lot more subjectivity than AI will ever be capable of. It's probably useful for identifying a pool of players based on objective facts but the rest of it will always really need human intervention.
Any of the 'friends of Israel' aligned to any party are equally bad faith actors. Unfortunately, that represents a very significant proportion of parliament.
I think if there is a signing with a fee involved it is inevitably going to be late in the window. It's not really in a selling club's interest to sell early on.
