    Good numbers. I agree sir. Now will you lock that doing a Fulham thread up then, it annoys me seeing it on here
  2. Tomaszk
    Here. This will look very silly if Giroud ends up anywhere in the PL. Don't think he will though.

    Burnley have potentially pulled a right Villa here. Paid someone 100k a week to get to just about match fit. Then he's gone to a relegation rival on less money and could make an impact for them. Not a signing I'd have made, but good luck Danny.
  4. Tomaszk
    Think you can yeah.

    Always thought Lyle Taylor looked like he could compete in the PL. Britt, haven't seen him for years...

    I imagine that's what we've told him to get him to sign yes. His body doesn't look anywhere near ready for first team football.

    If we're dealing with Milan, I agree Rebic suits us more than Piatek. We make a lot of chances though, so Piatek could be a stroke of genius
  8. Tomaszk
    Signed for Hoffenheim for £10m
  9. Tomaszk
    Announce Piatek

    Yes I'm guessing we've asked and he's made it clear he ain't bothered. Hope he doesn't turn up at Newcastle.

    Went and got pissed on a night out. Got in a scrap and managed to injure his ankle. I can't believe this move is happening. Seems so different from where we've been.
  12. Tomaszk
    Hopefully not because he's crap. Probably paying him 100k a week. According to this, we won't be.

    Dyche gave a glowing endorsement when he left Burnley. We need this to have on-loan Mings like impact please. Don't even think he'll start will he? Slots in neck and neck with Hourihane in the pecking order? Possibly in to replace Marvelous.

    What's he good at would you say? From memory I've got him closer to the Danny Simpson levels of importance to the side than up with Riyad Mahrez. "Get it. Kick long for Vardy." Was his main role I thought.
  15. Tomaszk
    Saw he was linked to Newcastle few days ago and dismissed as agent balls. Not sure he'd suit that well tbh, but he is a high class finisher. Must push for him if available.

    Oh no, Drinkwater medical I'm going to bring him up constantly when people say they want PL experience. Can't see any benefit to this.

    Maybe I am missing the point because I can't figure out what you're asking. I dipped in halfway on the Maupay/Hourihane thing...oh no, you were discussing with sir_gary.... I rate Maupay. He's dangerous. When I watch him, he looks a pain in the arse to mark. Players will come off knowing they've been in a game even if they've got themselves a clean sheet. If things don't go his way he's a ratty little arsehole who will start trying other means to get the better of players. Hourihane is slow, weak and a coward who shirks every bit of responsibility he can in open play. He's got a great knack for scoring goals and if we're all over the opposition he's probably our biggest goal threat. I want him on the pitch in that situation, he's a useful player for us. Maupay is definitely a PL player. Hourihane is touch and go, but can certainly find a place in a PL squad if used correctly. We've not been too far off using him very well, just the odd smelly performance he's started in usually following a goal. He can only play in games where we're going to have 55+% possession. So to reiterate, Maupay definitely a PL player IMO, Hourihane has question marks. Generally with stats, I would say if I've watched players a lot, I don't care about digging into numbers to see if they pass a threshold or something. I'll have a look if I'm interested in something in particular but my eyes tell me enough to trump figures and hold the opinion I do. The swing in black and white figures would have to be very big for me to go flip and say well he looked good to me but he's obviously not a good player because of X, Y, Z.

    You can absolutely hold whatever position you like I agree sir. My counter argument is watch the games. Watch overall contribution. There's probably loads of data to backup the opposite to your scenario but balls am I going looking for it. You've picked minutes and goals. I can't be arsed to find ball retention, progressive passes into the final third, xG figures for players who are very clearly not good enough. It'd be a waste of time. I prefer making outlandish statements as loudly as I can. If Hourihane had 10 goals I'd still be saying he doesn't do enough in general play and needs to quicken up in possession.

    Will Ospreay is ridiculous. Have loved AEW since they popped up. So nice to have someone else around pushing WWE. Dynamite and NXT are miles ahead of Raw and Smackdown, they're unwatchable for me now.
  20. Tomaszk
    Please refer to performances. Stop just reading numbers. This isn't baseball.
  21. Tomaszk
    I'd love it, don't get me wrong. Increases chance of going back in for Phillips. Not this time though, they're too good I think.
  22. Tomaszk
    That'll happen with Patrick Bamford up top.
  23. Tomaszk
    Smith really wanted Phillips and the move ended up not going through. We got Marvelous and Luiz. If we got him we'd be 6th now.
  24. Tomaszk
    That's debatable. He's definitely a better holding player and if we went into the season with him, McGinn, Grealish CM we'd have been in great shape. We'd probably be 7th now.
  25. Tomaszk
    OK, you're right. We'd be 8th.
