Our entire team have outrun everybody we've faced in every game this season by 3-9km. So while Bamford might not look like he's working especially hard he's still working harder than his opposite number. I guess I've been ruined by years of watching cycling, but my immediate reaction to charts like this is deep suspicion about chemical enhancement. I'm sure it's misplaced, but that's where my mind goes, not gonna lie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched them run around like maniacs but not seem inhuman I think more evidence would be needed for me to be sure of that kind of thing. Firstly I'd like to see that graph with individual players on it to see if they are all outliers. That said, if the graph wasn't labelled with teams or a league then my guess for the top right dot being so far away from the others would be EPO. Bielsa has a long history of coaching so I'm sure there are other sets of data like this one that include teams that he coached. Are they all outliers to the extent of this for sprint distance and number of sprints? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Looks like Leeds might have to stump up the cash for Augustin after all: RB Leipzig land first blow in Leeds United's £18m Jean-Kevin Augustin ownership row 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It would be such a shame if they had to spend £18m for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) If they have to pay then it will be one of the worst transfers of all time, as I said in the Samatta thread Augustin hasnt scored a league goal since Steve Bruce was Villa manager Edited June 8, 2021 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Always seemed likely that Bielsa would stay. They’ve invested in upgrading their training facilities at his request and he’ll feel he can take them further this season. I’m not sure they’ve strengthened much though. They’ve got Harrison on a permanent and Junior Firpo from Barcelona, have they signed anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 didnt realise there was a danger of him walking away tbh agree that they havent really strengthened, firpo could be good but i think the "ex-barca" tag means he's being slightly overrated, the only real link i ever see with them is Traore for £30m which i personally would be absolutely delighted with if what they want to do is stablise and become a solid PL team then they'll be perfectly fine but they're another fanbase that talk up european football and i dont think they've done enough to suggest that they can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't signed a contract, but apparently he only ever goes season by season in contracts, and has started seasons without having signed one before. Basically, it's weird as ****, but not for him.
