They have decent ability and generally the right attitude. The rest should be fucked off, and as you say, replaced with players who give a fuck
Davies ffs. Nothing sums up Spurs mediocrity like this guy still being here. Good servant but should have been moved on years ago.

Woolwich have Califori/Hincapie for LB we have a RB, a crock and Davies.
 
Made less sense the further that went. TFM?

Transfermarkt.

Does match data take into account relative strength of team mates? Strength of opposition? Only including West Ham? Which Ghana gaffer is the one with little endorsing quality? Think they’ve probably had 6-8 since kudus started.


Help yourself.

.......Or if it's easier for you; perhaps provide a link to the data that your orignal post was based upon?

I’d generally just let this go, but your “reality check” comment was a touch on the dickish side.

According to TransferMarket, he’s played:

RW 78 times
AM 53 times
CF 51 times
CM 45 times
LW 20 times

His time at RW has been mainly with us and to a lesser extent West Ham. Therefore, he came to this country playing more often in the other positions, mainly centrally.

His wish, according to interviews with the player himself, is to play centrally. Loads of stories about this, a cursory google will lead you to many.

He’s played for six different managers for Ghana, so unsure which one in particular is the one that favours / favoured him centrally, when he almost always plays that position over the tenure of the six managers.

Whilst his return may be lower according to the numbers, the numbers don’t take into account the quality of his team mates in those matches. The quality of the opposition he’s played against.

Whilst I don’t manage in football, I do manage teams of people. If I join a new one, the first things I ask the individuals there is what are they good at and what do they enjoy doing. If Frank did that with Kudus, I doubt his response would be “I like playing on the wing” when he’s given many interviews saying he wants to play centrally.

If Frank hasn’t done this, he should have. If he has and has ignored the response, he’s failed there instead.

Anyway, I’m never going to get the last word on this with you, but I’ll leave it here. You crack on.

Not especially.

The first of the 3 comments I made were simple fact.

Yeh... And he's been evidently more productive from wide positions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This in itself doesn't count for much.

It wasn't so much as a reference to any one manager as it was to the fact that their int. team isn't exactly indicative of an especially high level.

Whilst his return may be lower according to the numbers, the numbers don’t take into account the quality of his team mates in those matches. The quality of the opposition he’s played against.

Like I said, if you can present some form of data/analysis to counter the basic (yet not necessarily definitive) number of the matter of his ouput, then share with us...... That he sees himself as a CAM isn't much of a tangible selling point by itself; even if you are quite keen to attribute weight to it.

Even if it's just anecdotal.... eg. Have you seen him play CAM for Ajax and get let down by his team-mates?
 
The problem, as with most players, is that he wasn't a good enough signing when we first signed him. He then improved to be our top scorer, despite clear limitations to be a top 4 player. The rest of the squad is even more shit, so to sell someone that clearly improved to be one of our most important players is insanity. We have signed a load of other average players that have not won us a Europa League etc. so it doesn't make sense to replace him with worse to be blatantly honest.

People are saying Glasner can get more out of him, which is fair, but also another reason we ought to have signed the likes of Glasner ahead of Frank.
 
Our squad is a complete load of feces if BJ could ever be described as our most important player! Wasn't good enough ever good enough, even when he was our top scorer. 11 goals in a PL season is nothing to get excited about, its bang average at best.
 
Christ alive, the bile that spews from some of you. How empty can your life be, that you are on here moments after a match we shouldn’t care about, to tear into one of our ex players?
