Louis van Gaal's sports scientists will have gone into much more depth with their analysis than you have. This is obvious, Louis van Gaal has spoken of the in depth analysis he carries out on each player, it is not an assumption when he states it as fact in an interview.
Your analysis does not even control for variables, in sports science this is incredibly important otherwise the data can be rendered unreliable.
-----
Once more you provide statistics without controlling for other variables. Why not stop using statistics when you don't know how?
Also, how do I know you are not making these numbers up? I have asked for sources to verify those statistics yet you refuse to provide them.
----
HAHAHA, you are the one who made a statement and so I asked you to provide sources and you return by saying 'no you find the source'. If you make the statement it is on you to prove it, this is your most amateurish mistake yet.
This is what basically just happened:
(you) 'Off the top of my head these are the stats.'
(me) 'please provide sources so I can verify these'
(you) 'no, you find the sources'.
If you provide those stats to prove a point then it is on you to provide the sources, 'off the top of my head' is not a source and open to immense errors.
Furthermore you need to go more indepth with your analysis, look at Welbeck's total game. Louis van Gaal does not only value poachers as strikers, you might need to educate yourself on his system a little more, his strikers tend to be involved in link up play.
----
You say it is another assumption by me yet I asked you a question. At least you admit Welbeck is poor in his assists, now understand Louis van Gaal does not value only goals from his striker.
It is possible Louis van Gaal looked at this in his analysis.
This further shows he has not done enough previously to justify more time to show what he can do.
----
Louis van Gaal does not care whether RVP is only famous for goals, he cares about what RVP can do and he determined both Rooney and RVP do things better than Welbeck. You see, he said 'record' and not 'stats of goals', a record can also look at other characteristics such as assists, you have now learned when I said 'Record could mean anything' I was not assuming but you were the one assuming, no? I think yes, too many assumptions are not good for your arguments.
----
So stop using other people's statistics, people can get things wrong too....
Louis van Gaal was not harsh in thinking Welbeck is not as good as Rooney, RVP, Falcao or Wilson (potential).
----
Louis van Gaal did not sell Welbeck based only on his goal scoring record, look into the philosophy, he does not use only poachers. He sold Welbeck because he was not good enough to be his striker and his strikers often do more than just score goals.
----
So it's ok for Rafael to start and not play 90 mins but not for RVP? Biased point once more, if RVP is fit enough to play 60 minutes then he should play 60 minutes, you here are suggesting Welbeck should start and go off after 30 minutes because otherwise RVP would not get his 60 minutes.
Louis van Gaal concluded RVP could play about an hour, like Rafael, and he let them both play for an hour.
RVP was fit enough to be selected, Louis van Gaal evidently disagrees with your suggestion he wasn't.
----
You seem to keep ignoring the David Moyes point. The reality is Louis van Gaal was decisive in the transfer window and his assessment of the squad, you are suggesting more time like Moyes gave the players should have been afforded to Welbeck.
Louis van Gaal has shown he is an excellent judge, why should he give a player one season when pre-season is enough to show he is not on the level of Rooney or RVP?
----
You miss the mid-table club point. The point was that at a mid-table club with less ambition giving a player one season is easier, Louis van Gaal must get top four therefore he has less time to assess the squad, if Welbeck is not good enough but Falcao is, then things must happen.
Pay attention to these points.
----
Once more, he has all of pre-season and also training. Louis van Gaal cannot give his players premier league matches just to show what they can do, this is not how you get champions league football.
