Signings with Statistical and visual analysis

[nasser95]

Is he a quick player, Nasser95?? I just Wonder.

He does seem fast enough. Not at the levels of Hoilett or Phillips but much faster than Perch or Konch

Ok thanks. that sounds good, we need fullbacks with speed. Not sure what Yun is doing wrong,though.

On a second note: Just want to say that Markus Henriksen is rumoured to be on his way to Napoli.

Yun is injured I believe

At the same time, Moyes used stats so prominently at Everton to bring them success. They did everything right with regards to stats. Ultimately, if the manager doesn't have faith in a system it won't work. Moyes did, Ferguson did, Wenger does, that's why stats work for them. Man City have one of the biggest analyst sectors in the UK. Look at the quality of their players and youth academy.

Stats are useful but are one of many factors. Decent set of scouts is more important unless you're buying obvious choices.

For the level they're aiming for and the money they spend Man City's recruitment has been poor imo. Aside from players who are clearly A1 (Toure, Silva, De Bruyne, Otamendi, Aguero) they've signed a lot of fraff... Fernando, Mangala, Milner, Navas, Bony, Clichy, Nasri were all overpriced and/or failed to deliver... Same for Wenger & Ferguson, they're very hit and miss...

Surely you can't call Milner or Clichy failures when they're loved by fans there and are very much considered successes. Look even at Zabaleta, Kompany, Hart, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Roberts (fulham youngster) and so many of the players in their youth setup. Most of it is instigated by analysts.

Think so. I`m sure I read somewhere that JFH is ready to move him on?

I dunno, Milner cost 26M over 5 years ago, that's a lot of money considering he's essentially a workhorse.. Fernandinho was very expensive. Roberts hasn't done anything he was/is just a good prospect..

Donuts get me wrong City made some good signings but considering the money they've spent the squad is poor.. Bought a lot of fraff since the takeover.

Ultimately, I'd say 26 mil is good for 4 or 5 years of football from Milner. Huge asset to any club when he plays. Fernandinho helped them to a premier league title as well so I'd call him a good value player who not many knew. There is plenty of good signings made I'd say there. Alongside that, consider that obviously stats aren't used alone, its down to scouts to then go and confirm that the player is good, etc. So ultimately, there is no reason not to have a big collection of analysts to pull data.

Bradley Dack is a player I would like with us. Plays for Gillingham

Peterborough fans are not even bothered about us landing Dack.

I'll try and see what I can get on dack based on Peterborough forums as well

Difficult as most of my sources don't have detailed info on anything below championship quality.

As I said before though, don't hesitate to ask if you have any player you think the club would be interested in and assuming they are available (Prem, Champ, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A, TurkLig, MLS, Eredivisie, Russian PL, Brazilerao) I'll try and get a profile done on them.
