Hardly random, O’hare had a season in league 2 (and was highly rated by villa) and Hamer was in the eredivise! But 7/10 for the effort you’ve made, I’m impressed
Click to expand...
Hamer’s team was fighting to stave off relegation in the Eredivisie and the bottom half of that league isn’t particularly rated by many people on here.

To be fair Hamer was pretty random at the time imo.

Hardly random he’d played over 50 games in the eredivise and was always being touted in the Dutch press about how good he was

no, we need the best players we can get for the best value and that is likely to be as you put it "some" randomer

Ah with you, so the CM I’m assuming is Palmer funds and Rob Holding/CB is getting the rest?
Click to expand...
Yeah, purely guess work on my part, but I'm assuming there has to be some movement out for us to facilitate wages etc. The fringe players would be a good place to start.
With the CM too, nothing is ever done until it's done. After the summer, agreeing fees and having the players choose somewhere else or whatever, I don't presume anything is a given anymore.

Not in data circles TBF. He had some of the best stats in Europe at the time IIRC.

Fair enough, wasn't as clued up with stats and all that business as I am now. Remember hearing it and just being amazed we spent over a million on a player.

Good player but didn't think we'd be after that type until I heard us linked with Sorba Thomas. If we're after more attacking players he would be a great choice for the second half of the season. Serious talent who is clearly very confident with where his game is at currently.

Would have been a good shout on loan if we let Haji Wright go.

You can dress it up all you like. 6 of those came in two games against Maidstone and Rotherham.

13 goals in 46 games in the league. Only scored in 9 of those 46 games. For the fee paid, you should be expecting much better output. I will die on this hill, he is wank.

Gianluca Di Marzio seems to think he's close to signing for Parma.

So what? He scored 2 v Wolves, 1 against Man U and Leeds.

This scored in ‘x’ league games stat is a distortion of stats. Wright only scored in 12 league games and he’s a penalty taker, in fact, open goals only, they scored in the exact same amount of games.

To compare, I’m going to deliberately distort Gyokeres’ record in 22/23 using your methodology. Vik played 50 games for us in 22/23 and he scored 22 goals over 19 matches. Which means he didn’t score in 62% of his appearances. Only 4 (18%) of his goals were scored against a team placed higher than us in the table (Sheff U, Millwall, Watford and Sunderland).

With some effort, you can distort stats to fit a narrative.

What is the point of Holding on loan now.

Obviously implemented a transfer policy which discourages loans so what would be the point in bringing one in now when the season is already over and wasting 6 months wages wages.

Only way this makes sense is if King is seriously worried about relegation

You cannot compare Wright and Simms. When Wright is not scoring, he’s creating. Always a threat. Simms on the other hand offers us absolutely nothing.

Can’t run in behind, can’t hold the ball up, doesn’t win many headers. I am astonished at the amount of people that are happy with the return we are getting from him.

Opened this thread to see someone comparing Simms to Yakubu and someone being pissed that a very solid looking midfielder is "a random" and not proven championship quality.

Never change SBT.
