Yeah but he is apparently quoting l'equipe who could either be reliable or trash. And they oscillate between the 2 like Romano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Golovin 3 goals 3 assists 18/19 season same minutes as Traore last season and 3 goals 4 assists 19/20 in 2000 mins. What am I missing? Can't find any mention of Golovin rumour on L'equipe Twitter Edited July 13, 2021 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing? You're missing last season for starters. And that there is more to a player than numbers. And that those numbers are still decent.

VillaChris Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Long suggested Golovin as a better standard of target for us. Wouldn't be a bad plan B if the ESR interest has stalled. He's done quite well in France so would be a good ambitious signing to make, type Leicester did a few years back signing Tielemans from Monaco.

What am I missing? Can't find any mention of Golovin rumour on L'equipe Twitter Maybe 5 goals and 9 assists in under 12 games worth of minutes last season, on top of excellent defensive and pressing stats. Don't know if the rumour is at all true. But would be an excellent signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that those numbers are still decent. I am missing last season which 5 goals and 9 assists in 1071 minutes. 4 of his 14 goal involvements were in 1 game against worst team in the league. The previous 2 seasons aren't decent numbers. Traore got 7 goals and 7 assists in 2300 mins last season and some on here don't rate him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you've already found your reasons to write him off. Once you exclude the 4 goal involvements against a shit team (because, duh) he's left with a goal involvement roughly every 100 minutes. Not good enough? Buendia's numbers (mostly at a lower level) are even worse if you exclude last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia was all over the press in the sense it was done in like 3 days before Norwich made their official announcement. We took like 5 days after that to make our own.
