I get what it's trying to say but I wouldn't say that just because a player plays a lot, doesn't mean they're a success.
I get what it's trying to say but I wouldn't say that just because a player plays a lot, doesn't mean they're a success. I mean, I know that if a player plays lots, it *should* mean they're good/a success but if a team had lots of injuries for example, someone might get more minutes than they would've done otherwise.
Know what I mean?!

Exactly right, plus the likes of Pep like to rotate a lot.
From that graph, would anybody in the world class Harry Maguire as a bigger success than Sterling or Mané!? :emoji_confused:

But you can say that a big money signing that barely plays is a failure.
Obviously all models are wrong and that but thought it was an interesting way to look at a transfer record. And got me thinking who would be top/bottom of such a table. Coleman? Mowbray? At the bottom I’d guess, maybe a surprise like Presley at the top due to limited funds? Don’t know.
It takes no account of injuries and would be just another bullshit stat.
If you sign a player who is always injured are they a good signing?
You’re looking for perfection which doesn’t exist. Just another lens to look at the game is all.
By this measure, a player could become a terrible signing because of a freak accident. It says nothing whatsoever about the ability of the manager who signed him.
Atkinson would be bottom by a country mile - I would actually guess Phil Neal would come out pretty well

Can’t get into all this. Just fucking kick it.

Also what about managers that constantly pick their signings even if they're shit because he can't accept he's made a mistake?
Like when the missus sits and occasionally comments that all they need to do is kick the ball in the net.It’s true though. Football is painfully overanalysed already.

Plus you get different transfer hierarchies at different clubs. At some (esp places like Spain) the chairman/president signs players and the manager just has to get on with it even if they don't want them. Whereas at others the manager has total say over signings?
