Ex-Spurs Player Davinson Sanchez
- Thread starter Totti
- Start date

Yeah I didn't think so. I didn't want to come off as if I took exception toTotti but comparing pure stats like that without adjusting for level of play seems like a waste of time.
I don't think Tots has an agenda, he just throws stuff like that out - it's ok.
Probably not. Different league and different quality.
But it shows there's something there. You could do that with alot of other centre backs in that league and won't get stats as promising.
Can't wait for Poch to get his mitts on this bloke, gonna be something special.

And with markedly inferior team-mates - 2+2
So you have to take that into consideration before you dismiss his stats because the opponents are 'inferior'
So that
So if an under 16 player has similar stats against and with inferior players, does that make him ready for the Prem?
I have no idea what that means tbh
How convenient.
Are you ok?
Your assertion Sanchez' stats are not that impressive because he's doing it against shit opponents is just as true as suggesting he's doing with with shit team-mates so that might balance certain numbers out - that's all
I'm fine thanks. I'm not saying they aren't impressive, I'm saying it's absolutely no way to judge his ability. Like I said, if an academy player had similar stats, playing with, and against inferior players does that make him a starter in the Prem? No, because it's a different level.
I never argued the level is equal - but the quality of team-mates should also be taken into consideration when analysing the quality of opponents if looking at numbers
Yes, that's fair.
So, are we up to the stage of calling him "Dave" yet?

Disregarding the Sanchez bit this is still very interesting for the PL.
Maybe we will see a slow demise.
Fall of pound means Tottenham face paying more for Davinson Sánchez by the day

In All Played Out, John Barnes said International football was more difficult because he was up against better players, while Lineker said that was balanced out because he was playing with better players. I thought that was an interesting take on different players' mindsets. And to be fair to you, Lineker's point reflects yours rather well.
Pretty sure we will hold a decent amount of EUR's, Levy is many things but not dumb.
