Nice article

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated

Tottenham are really bad and looking at the way this team has been constructed, one thing clearly stands out: This team is really bad at passing the ball, and that may explain their present malaise.

Which makes me think, could we lose Austin to Spurs? An ex player who knows this league well. And they desperately need to improve their recruitment.

Its exactly that. For the right player, it makes sense.

A lot of fans on here are going to have to get their heads around the fact that if we want the types of players that are good enough to compete and keep us in the PL, we wont be looking at players happy to be paid £5-15k a week. It honestly wouldnt surprise me if the vast majority of this squad haven't got huge pay rises written in to terms and conditions of promotion in their contracts. So somebody like Tats that is probs now on around £10k will most likely jump to around £15-20k id guess. £5k wont be the starting point for wages of PL quality players (Rushworth as a fringe/development PL player will be on more than that) like it is in the Championship. £20k will be. So the higher earners (such as Haji) that are on approx £20k will be now the base level kind of wages. It wouldn't surprise me to see higher earning players on £40k. Thats still relatively low for PL.

Whilst im not saying we have a squad full of £200k a week players, if also do think for the right player, we could maybe stretch the bank a bit. And for somebody like Manuel Nueur, who is looking at retirement, could be tempted for one last season at 50% of his current wage. Like I said. £150k a week to retirement is £0. A 50% pay cut would see him earn £75k a week more than he would at home pruning his roses. And if we would be happy to spend £15m on a GK transfer fee, PLUS his wages, why couldnt we scrap the fee, and use that in wages instead? For the right player, it could honestly be the difference between staying in the PL or being a parachute team back in the championship.

Again, im not saying we will in a million years sign Nueur. But he is a good example of what I mean by a free player, on higher wages, that would certainly make a huge impact to the team and the club would earn back those wages ten-fold if that player kept us up.

The Average weekly wage is any where between £67 and £88000, The average weekly wage spend after transfer fee has the biggest single correlation to where your team finish in the table. Thats why its so rough to stay up when you get promoted, you can offer someone who might be a free agent 50K a week and someone will offer more. Recruitment team are going to have to justify their wages this summer.

Tyler Dibling can't play anywhere that isn't Southampton.

Left Saints academy for Chelsea - Immediately got homesick and came back after 3 months.
Signed for Everton - Moyes doesn't play him and comes out saying he needs time and has to build his confidence.

For clarity the scouting team that brought in everyone after King came in is not the one that was here before (coincidence they left just before King took over). Hamer, Sheaf, Gyokeres, O’Hare, etc were all Badlan. Austin is MvE, Wright, Simms, Kitching, EMC etc

Or as they are otherwise known - the team that is getting promoted.

Exciting to watch occasionally when running with the ball, but doesn't seem likely to be the sort of reliable contributor we are going to need.

Doug is keeping it a secret so my contracts thread doesn’t tip off the other clubs.

No idea. Club hiding it to piss off @shmmeee and imagine they are trying to hide information from potential buyers (although imagine agents would just tell em).

George from Chelsea is a must, would be a straight starter and I think we could genuinely get him. Be the first player I’d go for, can’t see Everton going through with the perm deal
