Love the way him and KEA are linking up, then you have Holman and Bannan also in the mix... just pinging it to one another at such ease.. Ireland and KEA are on such a wavelength!!!! loving it

See the quote above: Seems to me Riley and Payne could well be using a ''Moneyball the Film'' sort of way of recruiting good young players like Bowery and maybe even Westwood, people he been getting 1 in 3 for starts at Chesterfield, maybe that is what they have based it on? these tools from Amisco and maybe Paynes knowledge?? Good stats with potential to improve, hence spent the 500k on him. Thoughts? I've no idea what any of that means. I think I get you. Looking at the team as the sum of the parts and what parts are missing even if they are not the most stunning transfer. It could be moneyball tact, future project or using him in a different position. I also trust PL enough that I'm highly intrigued to find out. exactly mate, not sure why guy above you does not understand? has he seen the film ''Moneyball'' with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill based on a true story, it could be common sense using statistics to purchase the best players in lower leagues based on a range of things/attributes, i think the comment i posted from OS using this Amisco system is very interesting.. So when we went for Westwood or Bowery it could well have been based on this system.. who knows though? 8) am highly intrigued myself at seeing who else we snap up!!

When we signed Henke as chief scout from AVFC: See the quote above: Seems to me Riley and Payne could well be using a ''Moneyball the Film'' sort of way of recruiting good young players like Bowery and maybe even Westwood, people have been saying on here that he been scoring 1 in 3 for starts at Chesterfield, maybe that is what they have based it on? these tools from Amisco and maybe Paynes knowledge?? Good stats with potential to improve, hence spent the 500k on him. Thoughts?

what does anyone think to giving someone like Jozy Altidore a shot at a few million and could be a good investment, is still young to improve at 22, 4 in first 2 games of season and 19 in 33 for AZ Alkmaar.. he didn't do too well at 18/19 when at Hull but shown glimpses of promise from what i remember.. is at a decent age.. thoughts?

Ki is about to sign for Swansea from Celtic for 5million, why are we not going in for players like this guy? i rated Michu for few yrs and couldn't believe he went for 2million, now they are getting Ki as well, these are the type of players we should be going for.. point to prove, reasonable price and wages and very good players indeed.

from Football-Rumours.com, yes please... hopefully Henke identifying players like this; 16 Aug 2012 22:26:24 Stefan Kießling...watch this space

' from OS, won't these two guys help for that? surely what they will be doing will help with domestic scouting

done bit of digging due to this comment from Henke ''This is a similar role to one I held at Bayern. Our objective will be to identify young players who have a good future and a good mentality.'' he might have been involved with Mario Basler arriving and Bixente Lizarazu The World Cup Winning Left Back arriving from Athletic Bilbao.. if he was.. impressive indeed

is there a list anywhere on net of the players he scouted and got signed to Bayern Munich and any of other teams he has scouted for? interested to see who he has talent spotted, am excited by this appointment

Swansea are apparently after Mohammed Abdellaoue for 3million, would love us to take a punt on him for a while, he scored a cracking backheel against Man Utd yesterday..

daily mail oh fuckty ****..

yeah i mentioned it earlier after posting the original bit about some folk on Sunderland forum saying we have bid for him and someone started it was on capital fm

He wouldn't want to actually come out with the news first though would he i bet the idiot saw my post on here about what i saw on ready2go so suddenly twitters it just incase it comes off... can't stand that guy

they are saying on there it's correct, it was on capital fm... we will see though

some guy on ready2go Sunderland forums reckons Villa have bid 13million for Fletcher ready2go

could not agree more, i'd say one out of all of the above apart from Toivonen, who i don't rate

daily record

Newcastle.. suprise, suprise have been linked with him for last few months and again now

Dunne is out injured, i think Lambert is after another centre back as only got Clark, Vlaar and Baker to play there, plus gives us more of a squad This could still be on, hence why posted as it's also in the evening mail as well..
