Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

442 may not be Poch's first choice system but its being able to change the system when its not working

 

[VirginiaSpur]

Why shouldn't you? People thought Falcao was great based off one good game. That didn't turn out to be true. The eye test is unreliable on its own because it's subject to recency bias, confirmation bias, prior assumptions and lack of comparative data. Clubs that rely on eye test scouting do brilliant stuff like signing Lallana and Paulinho.

Clubs that use data and then run an eye test after to sort out preferences wind up with Mane instead.

What? People thought Falcao was great based off of four years at Porto and A. Madrid where he scored 140 goals in 180 appearances, and also everyone that watched him saying that he's incredible.

we did 4-4-2 with sherwood, lennon and townsend outwide. it didnt work. you actually need goal scorers

 

[VirginiaSpur]

if it wasn't for our depth in defence we would be flirting with relegation this season. Kane burned out, Eriksen injured. the kids still learning, Bentaleb doing fuck all after he demanded a more lucrative contract..great

#SERIOUSRELEGATIONFEARS

Come on mate, we'd not be flirting with relegation. You're losing it.

Imagine if Poch came out and suggested that Chadli or Lamela could play up front this season....

"We have players like Chadli, Lamela and now N'Jie who can play like a striker, but I think we need one more striker to be sure for different games, sometimes to play together."

He was good, not incredible. He got big money moves to Monaco and then the United loan off the game against Chelsea.

People who looked at the stats noticed he actually was pretty average from open play. He got to take a lot of penalties, and that inflated the overall total.

People who do the recruiting at clubs take out the penalties when they evaluate strikers and other players. It's not considered to be a skill that matters. Monaco and United didn't. Then got burned when he didn't perform to his price tag, before or after his injury.

 

[Mensa]

HAHA FUCK NO I"M GONNA SELL CHADLI AND LAMELA FOR 65 MILLION AND MAKE A PROFIT!!!

 

[sammyspurs]

Yeah like we did when we sold Bale.....oh but wait Levy never does that.....

Im sorry....did we strengthen after we sold Bale?

 

[sammyspurs]

So you think utd aren't desperate for a striker? Ok if that helps strengthen your levy argument then believe what you want.

I think Id take Utds signings and not complain about a striker.

 

[zin]

Well only Toby A. seems to be a ready made improvement. Wimmier and Tripper are either squad fillers or future prospects at best

Didn't realise we were replacing Kane or changing formation to fit 2 strikers.

 

[Danoir]

So bored of everyone cunting Sammy off for no reason now. He is talking sense. We have made grave errors this window, and have regressed horrendously even just in the period from January last season.

Ugh, every 100 pages there's a knight in shining armour who failed to read the bullshit discussions he went into the past 99 pages, and believes the odd sense he speaks once a month makes him some rational debater.

 

[Mockers]

We strengthened before with the Bale money before he was sold. Don't try and twist it to suit your argument. No one was disappointed with the signings at the time.

You literally twist every comment don't you.

Actually don't believe that.

EVERTON 'CHASE FAZIO'

Everton have made a £5m move for Tottenham centre backFederico Fazio, according to the Daily Mail.

Fazio has held talks with West Bromwich Albion already this summer, but the Mail say Everton have moved quickly to prepare for John Stones' departure.


Guess it makes sense with Stones on his way out

With all due respect to West Brom ... Everton is a much better move for Fazio.
I hope it happens. He's a good defender and will suit their system.

Basel got kicked out of Champs League tonight.

Let's get those Embolo rumors back!!!!

You literally twist every comment don't you.

Again. Have we strengthened with the Bale money? Did we strengthen?
Are we stronger for selling Bale and replacing him with 7 players?

The short answer is no.
