32 and doesn't really fit the model. Also Luton had him when they were in the PL and failed to stay up. Coincidence or other?

What is the model?32 and doesn't really fit the model. Also Luton had him when they were in the PL and failed to stay up. Coincidence or other?
Like Grimes? Onyeka?The model is to make money on signings when we move them on by finding hidden gems and developing them
Would be good player to have in the squad. I’d imagine Rudoni would be the starting ten. But the experience he has would be a good boost imo.Taken with a pinch of salt, but....
Frank Lampard Targets Former Chelsea Midfielder Ross Barkley for Coventry Reunion
Coventry City are eyeing a move for experienced midfielder Ross Barkley if they secure promotion to the Premier League. The 32-year-old Aston Villa player could provide valuable experience to Lampard's squad, who will need a summer overhaul for a top-flight campaign. Despite interest from other...www.sportsboom.co.uk
He plays more as a 6 now not a 10.Would be good player to have in the squad. I’d imagine Rudoni would be the starting ten. But the experience he has would be a good boost imo.
Unpopular opinion of the day…..
Barry Bannan would of been a better signing than onyeka. He’s overrated. .
Trying too hard
You say that, but a great deal of those stats were built up when Edwards (and Adi) were in charge, prior to Hellberg's arrival, when we were much more defensively minded. The midfield were given less licence to attack so often, one or often both of the CM's acting primarily as a shield for the defence.Big chances missed:
1. Southampton (70)
2. Ipswich (66)
3. Coventry (60)
...
13. Boro (45)
xG difference:
1. Coventry (30.9)
2. Ipswich (27.4)
3. Boro (19.3)
From a creativity standpoint you're clearly quite far behind us & Ipswich. I think you'd be in a similar position if you had Vipotnik
I think you win every game with VipotnikYou say that, but a great deal of those stats were built up when Edwards (and Adi) were in charge, prior to Hellberg's arrival, when we were much more defensively minded.

Sides didn't play low blocks against us as much for this reason, so when we did advance more sparingly we generally found more time in which to operate and finish effectively. With less time as we've had for some time now, a striker of better calibre is needed?
Here's the results of xG from the last 5 games for example. You won't be surprised to learn that Millwall are at the bottom of these xG stats, Ipswich above them and yourselves better than them both. Our own stats are eye-opening though, especially despite us getting the lowest points of the 4 sides at the top (8);

It all points to (with Hellberg's Boro) a ruthless, quick and accurate marksman making more difference to our results than practically any other side in the league;

There is a little truth in this, with some of our shots.On the eye test as I’ve watched a few Boro games this season (I’m not sure if stats back this up?) but you seem to create less “clear cut” chances and lots of less clear chances; shots outside of the area etc.
I’m not entirely sure, but could this bump up your xG?
You would clearly be better off with a proper number 9 thought, that’s not in doubt.
First post in about 12 years by the way...
Lets be honest, we need either up and coming hidden gems and some older experienced heads.
But we need an experienced defender. Lewis Dunk perhaps. Reaching end of his career, could come in and stabilise the defence. Then we need an experienced left back. Chilwell could well be that.
Here's an ouside shout for the middle.. Jobe Bellingham. Gone to Germany, its not quite working. Might want to come back over.
The Ox from Celtic.
Then a striker too i think, I think Simms might struggle in the Prem and be a good signing for a Champ side. So then we need someone else.. Another old head comes to mind, Danny Welbeck.
Didn't we sign Rudoni from a side relegated to League One? I hardly think you can blame Barkley for that Luton side failing to stay up, he was one of their standouts that season.32 and doesn't really fit the model.
