You literally have a picture of a Russian dictator and bring up an assassination and you say I make you look cheery?

That’s almost as deluded as some of your football opinions.

Almost.

I thought it was quite a clever joke.

Oh well. 

Need a hug?

Oh I got the joke, it just wasn't very good.

As for the hug; yes please.

Would have posted way more had the forum not somehow kicked me out! As I said to ya elsewhere... Kept getting this weird nginx message! Wouldn't let me in. Anyhow. Good to be back! 

Well you've rejoined at a great time. We've finally decided to start discussing the possibility of external investment for the club! Not sure why it never got brought up before, really, but there's been some really stimulating debate.

Anyway back on topic, Dennis Man a goer or what? Attacking midfielder as well as a winger and 7 goals this season. 6ft so obviously the club taking this physicality thing quite seriously as that Danish DM we are allegedly interested in is a bit of a unit.

Man U and Spurs interested in him a couple of years ago.

I have seen him play for Romania U21. He is a good player. He is no Ianis Hagi that is extremly talentet. But Man is a exiting talent. Im positive if true

I think the club has recognised that the PL is just as robust' as the Championship - maybe not so clumsy though as getting past both Lewis for the first and McLean for the second demonstrated

I would expect Pukki to move on this summer, if Man is signed

 

Why? Man is a winger not a striker. Surely more likely a replacement for Buendia if there is anything in it.

If Drmic stays with Idah, we also now have Soto and Sinani who are 6ft plus strikers with Martin another striker breaking into the first team.

That would make that 4 new forward player alongside Drmic and Idah. We are playing more as cutting in to shoot - as with our last two goals,

Thus is what the new signings are about - not hanging around the box waiting for the right ball to be 'floated in,

On a Championship budget I can't see us keeping all six of the above. Pukki looks like he has 'had his day' which might also be the thinking of Farke/Webber

we don't have Soto though as he needs to sort his work permit issues out

Yeah I don't think we'll be banking on him, Martin and Sinani in the short term.

Wasn't it the case that clubs used to use Prozone Recruit to assist with scouting and it had some sort of tie up with FM. 

But now Wyscout is the software/platform of choice for scouts? 

Wyscout is probably used by most clubs at the moment, but that is mainly just for the video clips of players rather than the data. 
 

Clubs will buy data packages from different providers depending on their needs. Norwich use Statsbomb but the most commonly used is Opta. The in house analysts will then use the data to aid their scouting. Some clubs will code the tools themselves and some use off the shelf products - depends on their budgets really.

Man, Martin and Sinani play wide, Soto isn't ours and even then he wouldn't qualify for a work permit unless he has a European passport.

Sounds like we're keen on Man, but still far apart on the valuation.

Jeez. I click on this thread thinking I haven’t seen any transfer rumours for a few days, and end up wading through what must be 80% abuse to 20% vaguely relevant posts. I realise opportunities to display our masculinity are limited at the moment, but it’s not making this forum a welcoming or interesting place right now. 😫

Seems like Mr Becali didn't get the "discretion and tact" memo.

He's making the transfer very public to try and drum up some more interest from other clubs.

Do you know the extent of the relationship with Statsbomb? Is it only the data we collect from them? 

They have done lots of good work on gaining edges with set pieces over the years whereas we seem to be pretty poor when it comes to that.
