  • "Liverpool absolutely used data analytics but their recruitment strategy wasn't data led and this has been confirmed by Michael Edwards himself. Lee Dykes who is at Brentford and is their head of recruitment, has also confirmed that their...
  • Please show me where Edwards and co have all said the recruitment strategy wasn't led by data and was eye test driven.
  • I selected Antony because if you believe these numbers indicate an extremely high performer then surely a player whose numbers are far better than Garnacho in almost every category would be a better fit? Do you think Antony has been an extremely...
  • And how do you measure a good level of technical ability that doesn't compromise ball retention? Maybe something like progressive passing? Progressive carries? You can't play a high line with defensive players that can't win tackles, so maybe a...
  • Play Ait Nouri on the left and Dorgu on the right. Quenda played as a winger throughout his childhood and moved into wingback role for Amorim. What evidence do you have that Quenda is a better athlete? He ranks among the worst players for...
  • Analytics includes all of Antonys premier league games.
  • So that's a no then. Premier league and La Liga.
  • The poster claimed Garnacho was an extremely high performer in all those categories. I compared his numbers with Antony who is far ahead in almost all of them. So if those metrics are being used to measure the player by his logic Antony is far...
  • What qualities do you think Amorim wants in his wing backs that Nouri does't have and Quenda does? What ability does Quenda have that Ait Nouri doesn't? It's a perfectly valid comparison because United ended up vastly overpaying for an unproven...
  • If United spend anything like the rumoured numbers on Quenda it will only show that this club has learned absolutely nothing. The same people who were appalled by 80m for Antony are now ok with 50-60m for Quenda, sheer madness. If you're fine...
  • Ahh yes I'm the one cherry picking stats to back up an argument. I've got an idea why don't we use all the stats you picked and see how Garnacho compares with Antony? Shots on target ...
  • Bruno isn't a winger is any sense. Amad is out for months with ankle ligament damage. Dibling is the type of signing you make when you have a very good team and want to buy a prospect to see how he develops, not someone to join United and make a...
  • You clearly don't know how these stats work. 5% = bottom 5% not top. Messi and Neymar were 99 on dribbling because they were elite. The closer to 100 a a player is the better he performs. All those stats for Garnacho highlight how he's among...
  • I don't disagree with almost any of this. My issue is with where you want to spend the money. Bringing in a striker and a box to box midfielder into a side which can't create chances and has literally one fit winger on the books whose also...
  • Good enough for the worst squad in decades again doesn't change the point people are making that he's not good enough. Well all of the data that tracks his performances disagrees with most of what you're claiming. "Works hard/wins ball back"...
