Phil Silvers Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If it helps everyone, I hereby retract any mention earlier of any fondness of a certain player who may or may not be worth what we all as individuals may think said player may or may not be worth.

Man Utd arguably one of the biggest clubs in World football. They are struggling to sign people in this current market. I’m sure closer to deadline day, we’ll have more players in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just took a deeper look at his stats. 15 goal from 69 shots, slightly below par. 34 shots off target. 23 offsides. 68% pass completion. Seems rather average to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems rather average to me. I find this very interesting (genuinely), any chance you could do a comparison list with Tammy, Joe Linton, Richarlson, Maupey, Ayew. Those are sort of Tammy level maybe. Then show the top stats for like Vardy etc. Would really appreciate that if possible . UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much better value elsewhere. I'd trust the Chelsea fans opinions on him as they see him more than anyone and even they don't seem to rate him. Agreed with your recent posts - I too think Tammy is a bit overrated and likely to be overpriced, lacks technique and variety of finishing, scuffs a fair few shots and misses chances too. Penalties obv make his record look better. Ollie could actually be better and seems to have more technical ability. I just find it funny how sometimes many of us are happy to trust fan opinions on one player (Tammy) and disregard them on another (Traoré). Anyway, I hope whoever signs for us will do well and we will back them (initially) of course. Confident we will be enhancing the first team (not that difficult is it?) in any case. Would be delighted with Rashica too & very pleased we’ve signed Martinez. Trust in Dean & co to get the recruitment right and not pay way over the odds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I think this guy is being signed as back-up striker myself. It’ll be Grealish and Rashica either side of a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Vardy Goals 23 Ex Goals 19 Shots 70 Shot on target 42 Offsides 28 Pass completion 72 Better in every way except offsides, but then breaking the offside trap is what Vardy is constantly trying to do. However Vardy played 34 matches compared to 28 for Tammy. Showing the Chelsea created a lot more compared to Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted September 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2020 I notice Sheff Utd are linked to Rhian Brewster and Chris Wilder has commented on it, stating that they're "not in the same position as other clubs" and that they could only get one player in up top. Does anyone else think he's getting his excuses in early for this season? Hopefully we stuff 'em on Monday to compound that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be Grealish and Rashica either side of a striker. No chance. We are absolutely desperate for a right winger and Rashica plays mostly from the left. Smith also prefers wingers with opposite stronger feet. Doesn't mean we wont end up playing that if he doesn't turn out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Wonder if we'd consider Demorai Gray if it's true he's unwanted at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is substance with them looking to sign him, £25m or thereabouts. They had a good season last season, I think they might just struggle to repeat that this season.

Philosopher Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Maupay Goals 10 Ex Goals 14 Shots 65 Shots on target 38 Offside 15 Pass completion 80% Tammy slightly better in terms of goals to ex goals, but Maupays shots from range alot more and still has more shots on target. Also I won't go into detail but his defensive stats are miles better than Tammy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Can’t remember where I saw it but apparently Dean said something along the lines of “he can’t wait to play with you” to Jack during an interview after the Burton game? Can anyone elaborate and/or provide a link to audio/video? Wonder who he was referring to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just press speculation and an obvious fact about our spending ability compared to theirs. I don't think it's getting excuses in early. People are very sensitive these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
