Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (14 Viewers)

[SHUNT31]

According to fotmob he has won 73% compared with 24% for BTA

Please show me proof as there is absolute no way Simms won 73% of aerial duels

And tbf, I never once said that BTA could either. I was referencing Simms only when I made the point as he offers us absolutely nothing!

According to fotmob he has won 73% compared with 24% for BTA (compared with other forwards)

Very good stats!

"It could now be that a top Championship side takes Doyle on loan again with an option or obligation to buy"

Loan + £10m permanent deal if we get promoted. Get it done Bling.

Go on the bling, get it done

 

[SHUNT31]

Very good stats!

Stats are wrong for a start and if you had the intelligence to read a game, you’d know that there is no way Simms wins 3 out of 4 headers.

Does it count as a challenge when you jump five seconds before the ball arrives?

Evidently, not.

According to fotmob he has won 73% compared with 24% for BTA (compared with other forwards)

% of Aerials Won	41.8%

You're looking at what percentile he is in for the total number of aerials won - not the percentage of aerial duels he wins which is actually 41.8% - poor for his stature.

So youre saying that Fotmob is wrong?

Its quite good to be in the 73rd percentile no?

Haha the irony!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Is this an argument to determine who was less shit for us last year?

 

[SHUNT31]

Its quite good to be in the 73rd percentile no?

Jeez, you’re meant to be an accountant no?

 

[TomRad85]

Spent a good amount of the summer arguing, firstly with those that didn't think we needed a keeper and secondly with those that don't think we need a striker.
I have opinions on Simms and BTA but not enough to argue over which shade of turd is least stinky. If we go into the season with either starting up front then Lampard needs to be tanning Blings cheeks.

 

[Skybluekyle]

What benefits does Simms bring then? Because he doesn’t even do that.

Can’t head, can’t hold up, can’t link play. But he scored 6 goals against Rotherham and Maidstone.

Doug: What benefits does Simms have over say, Josh Sargent, who I could also afford

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Jeez, you’re meant to be an accountant no?

Meant to be? I am one LOL

Compared to other forwards. He wins more aerial duels than 73% of them, i.e. he's nearly in the top quartile whereas BTA is in the bottom quartile.

Yes agreed.

This perspective that BTA is better than Simms is a load of rubbish though.

My stance is I want better than both.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Even more worrying Hope you’re with the less accredited ACCA and not ICAEW!

ICAEW! Fortunately, football statistics isnt one of the 15 exams. Are you chartered?

Correct - he wins 41% of his aerial duels:

[Skyblueabo1111]

Binks linked with move to Brondby, Danish team. 2.5 million..on X, so who knows!

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s do Jake Bidwell vs Jay Dasilva next then back for another round of Wilson vs Collins.

 

[SHUNT31]

Yes agreed.

As a starter, I 100% agree with you. But from the bench, I’m choosing BTA every single time!

I’m ICAEW too! I did ACA/CTA joint program though.

I know what I'm looking at, I've put it in brackets. His stature is irrelevant because the same point can be made about any of his opponents. If you look at percentage of aerials won, the highest forwards are around 60%, it is dominated by centre backs

 

[mmttww]

Frontline definitely needs a refresh. You take 60-80% of what you paid for Simms or Asante if you can get it and move on. I'd rather keep Simms but meh.

I could not do CTA. Too much tax. I enjoyed the content, and how applicable it was but the exam just felt like you need to know absolutely everything, and every scenario had its own rule.

Look at us SHUNT, enemies to lovers trope

 

[procdoc]

Fucking hell does no one read the previous posts? About 10 different people have put about Binks to Brondby. We fucking know! Slow Sports News

 

[TinPotTaylor]

Binks to Brondby I've heard

 

[TomRad85]

I'm assuming Simms has hit none of his add ons? That's an open question to anyone that might know btw... so what are we at for them atm? About £3.5 million each?

Well theres also whether or not his won headers are just going absolutely nowhere which they do the majority of the time

Crap vs crap debates are always fun.

The true victims of only having eleven first team quality players: us, the posters.

 

[clint van damme]

Binks has started following Brøndby on instagram apparently

See my earlier post

 

[clint van damme]

may have been said elsewhere, can’t be arsed to check… we are apparently monitoring Anus Zaroury as he might be leaving Lens

If we signa player called Anus this place will break the internet

 

[mmttww]

About £3.5 million each?

if you can get £5m for them combined that feels like the best case scenario in this window. Both had poor seasons. If you can get either off the wage bill and claw back £2m with some add-ons, you suck it up and move on.
