Real progressive forward passes are the ones that really matter. This is why stats are misleading, particularly passing stats.

Members Rudy Posted September 29, 2020 Members Share Posted September 29, 2020 My point was city want a defender with high passing stats because that’s what they are looking for, all defenders comfortable on the ball, all can pass with both feet and find their man, over 5 yards or 50 Thats the criteria.

Marc505 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 A new ground to visit in the hopefully not too distant future. Had no idea Wimbledon had been playing at QPR this season. This chap sounds slightly more positive about a fans return before March as well, for what its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted September 29, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2020 We've gone from being very excited excited and talking about how we are going to win the league, to talking about how other teams are decent outfits and it won't be easy. Serious reality check has happened. Including myself in that, not in my wildest dreams would I have said we would lose our first 5 competitive games. I'm thinking of switching clubs, fancy Everton this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted September 30, 2020 Members Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well Rudy, interesting signing overnight considering what we had been talking about yesterday. Confirmation of the glaring weakness? For obvious reasons seen a lot of Benfica over the last year or so and he is a good un in the Liga NOS. How he will perform in the PL will be interesting. Worth over 60 million quid? I don't think any player (or even 5 players) is worth an amount which would feed and water the entire population of Ethiopia for a week. Then FIFA and UEFA have the temerity to force feed us their 'social issues' agenda the fucking hypocrites. You also managed to get rid of a liability in the other direction. I now have to factor that in to my punting strategy - the bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Otamendi going the other way, Dias is costing around £50 million. Not bad considering Burnley want £40 million for Tarkowski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think transfer fees are generally irrelevant If you add up all the NET spend from every football club in the world then the total transfer spend is £0 (assuming no taxes) The same money changes hands from one club to another to another then back to the first club The money spent on wages (inc bonuses etc) is the big one. However if teams like Man Utd generate £1bn in Revenue a year and they only have 25 senior pros on the books then why shouldn’t the top earners bring in £500k a week / £25m a year? Nobody bats an eyelid if a singer or actor makes huge sums, I think Adele has made over $400m in the last ten years for singing a few songs. Nobody cares, I don’t see the government telling her that she should bailout the small music venues that are closed due to Covid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
