Spain and France have issued more than fines, they've relegated clubs and put transfer embargo's on their own clubs. Both countries are pretty hot on their own FFP compliance.

The first two are linked, if he carries the ball for a really long distance every time while his teammates are still deep in their half then he's gonna have few passing options. The third stat I guess suggest that he's their main outlet.
When you're worth over $5 billion maybe putting $1 billion into a vanity project doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Good analogy.
Agree. All the data sets chucked up a bunch of pretty underwhelming players with the odd partial exception. Hard to read too much into it as a control trend

Hercules
“Our interest goes back two years. Involves couple our players, and at least one player. Ange rates him, but I don’t”

Oh fuck off Hercules you soppy cunt!! Not once did you mention Johnson until the major journalists linked him properly tonight. Constantly does this and those clowns at SC all give him likes… “thanks Herc” …. “Awesome Herc”
Cunts!!!!!!!
He often hints that he is in the room for this sorts of discussions but keeps it vague enough to deny it.
He wouldn't have a clue about what Ange wants and to think Ange would swim through the mountains of wank socks in his mum's spare room to have it out with Hercules on transfers is weird.
I suspect our hope is that we can take his ability to break the line but perhaps reduce the distance he runs, with the view to there being more passing options open to him, as all our players will be higher up the pitch.
Here’s hoping he actually knows how to pass when the options are available.
Or as others have said, that he doesn't make particularly clever run choices?
Forest just don't send a lot of players forward. Look at their goal vs Woolwich as an example:

His XA90 last season was 0.11
That's less than Sessegnon, Richarlison, Gil, Moura and Porro, to name some less than stellar members of our non creative squad.
That's what a lot of their counters look like.

I'd very much caution against taking these metrics at face value. How do they even measure exepcted pass completion to all possible teammates at any given time when a player is on the ball? How do they collect the data, how can you even test those models?
I think it's possible to statistically analyse and model football, but it's very complex and I don't think Sky is doing the due diligence to get it right.
This is what worried me about Johnson from the get go. We aren't going to be playing that way, a lot of the time we have the opposition pressed into the final third. Which doesn't seem to be playing to Johnson's strengths.

I liked what I saw in terms of the quality and variety of his crossing more than I expected.
Toney will not be coming to Spurs.
Fucking obvious.
Why waste ink typing this bullshit.
He's just 23 for fucks sake give the poor sod some time to develop.
Your the sort of fan who wants a player fully developed at three years old.
FFS get real and understand the game of football outside of video games.
