Is this from the same guy who had Hyam as the third best central defender in the league
Quite interesting. I bet he would’ve been very close to being in the very middle too. Still impressive though. I don’t see him being as easy to replace as so many say.

Statistics/data has its place in the modern game but I would only use them to back up what I see with my eyes really
100% or vice versa, to identify potential targets to then be scouted in person. This is how the majority of clubs work.
Not sure but Robins has said he will be going to watch potential foreign signings in person nowDid we use data to sign hillsner jobello Da Costa and Kastaneer?

It does come across sometimes as if the signings are not chosen by MR but by the recruitment team. He tells them what we need and they try and fill the gap. Also if the recruitment team see value in a player like Cashman then they try and sign them.
I see Crooks does well, it's a shame we didn't pick him up in the summer as there was a rumour on here at one point we were looking at himQuite interesting.

He's already started doing it I believeI assume it played a part, in exactly the same way as it would have with Hamer & to a point Gyökeres, Sheaf etc etc.
I know Jobello was identified by one of the scouts whilst watching games in France though rather than initially flagged by data.
To a point yes, same as at most top clubs now. The difference with us is Robins always has the final say (except for U23 signings like Cashman, McCallum etc which he allows the relevant Academy staff to sign off on). He has always been a big advocate of watching players himself though &, as STP says, will be looking to step that up with any possible foreign signings to try & avoid anymore missteps but it's far from an exact science & we get far more right than wrong.
I've heard that he has been overseas doing just that recentlyNot sure but Robins has said he will be going to watch potential foreign signings in person now

I don’t want any of our better players to leave unless every penny went into MRs budget, but if one did & I’m thinking Hamer I’d love us to make a serious attempt for Joe Rothwell as a replacement, top player, would cost wage wise but could help make us serious prospects next season.
I like PNEs Daniel Johnson too.
