Solanke has 28 goals and 14 assists in 88 starts in the Prem for Bournemouth so about a 1 in 2 average.

Whilst improving every single Prem season hes played in...

Gamble, sure. But no more than signing a foreign striker who's done it in weaker leagues. Or someone like Toney, who had a worse goalscoring record at the same age.

But it's also failing to recognise other elements of the games he's excels in that you won't see in goalscoring or assisting stats.

His pressing. His defensive work from set pieces. His work rate. Strength and holding the ball up etc.

Stats manipulation to suit a point is just silly really....

If what you did for Solanke & I apply it to Vlahovic then

78 Goals & 14 Assists in 153 Starts (Serie A) - doesnt help your point doing same for both... and i made it clear what i presented was for Serie A only, you went on & included cups to beef up your starts in a minor way, if i did that it would trump that further

Also the fact that circa 87% of solanke's stats are from 1 season only.

I appreciate & understand you may not rate Vlahovic but i was stating a point from Stats, Value for money, consistency, Age, Growth Potential aswell, someone who has achieved far more , far more Goals/Assists, still room to grow & is still basically 3yrs younger doing it 5 yrs in a row consistently .

I used to manage properties there working for property management company. Ok so I did this from Cardiff and only had to venture there a few times a year but still!

I did not like the clientele! (Or the landlords. Bunch of fucks)
:levyeyes:

Im sure they thought exactly the same or much worse of you, especially if you conduct yourself in the same manner as you do on here !!!

Those Vlahovic numbers are better than I had thought tbh
 
I think Neto has a slightly higher ceiling than Eze, if both reached their max potential, but because of the formers injury record, I would take Eze out of the two. I think Eze is a bit more versatile too, Neto has always looked like an out and out winger.
 
No. We are all doomed.

If you don't have half a mill upwards to spunk on a house, generally the places with the least crime, decent green spaces and that have high job demand are the least shiddy, innit?
I suppose I should consider myself fortunate then but I can't help feeling that there must be something that can be done to stop the creeping rot....no idea what though...

What stats have I manipulated?

I didn't include any cups. Hence the word PREM.

You know? Prem. As in Premier League?

Where have I said I don't rate Vlahovic? I didn't mention Vlahovic because we're not linked. Therefore I couldn't give a shit.

What's next? Stats for Mbappe?
 
if we sign Solanke The Police song 'So Lonely' could be adapted to fit his name.

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

I'm not doing it though
That works for me because it saves me singing ‘sue lawley’

Ceiling? If Neto is ever as good as Eze is right now he'll have done very well, never mind Eze's ceiling.

Its quite clear you stated "Starts" 88 games opposed to me stating 113 PL Games which helps your stats, which tries to make his stats look better ... i hold my 🙌 i made1 error regarding cup games my bad, however its still doesn't alter the points regarding overall stats, potential, age etc

Anyway It wasnt to attack, sorry if it came across in that manner, not intended :thumbup: .... Also I explained the assumption that you " may " not rate Vlahovic, it wasnt an explicit statement.

Wouldn't really call it manipulation.

Starts are a fact. I usually prefer to base my stats on minutes anyway. Saying a player played 10 games when he may have only played 12 minutes across those games is a bit misleading in itself.

No offence taken. Vlahovic is a good player, I used to love watching him at Fiorentina!
