It was, as has been stated on many occaisions one match. I liked it on the basis that on that one instance Livermore played well, but that certainly wasn't the case for the whole of the season, was it? We know that because I have shown you exactly what a professional statistical comparison site says, they say that Huddlestone over the course of the season was MUCH the better player, but we both know that. Or at least I do, as do the professionals who put the stats together, unfortunately you seem in denial and a little hard of reading when presented with evidence that makes you look a bit silly. The text message from your mate was an example of the 'quality' of your evidence - ****, for avoidance of doubt. Why use professional stats when you can use a forum with which to base your expert opinion. That's what kids do? **** off idiot, you're boring me now.
Nope, He's still a Brentford player. Bristol have had a bid accepted and im guessing he'll be having talks with them. Hopefully Burnsy will ask Bruce about it tomorrow and we'll hear if we're still interested. The last I heard from Bruce on Gray was after the game on Sunday, Burnsy asked him if the deal is "dead in the water" Bruce said Not yet.
Huddlestone was **** most of last season in my opinion. Very frustrating to watch him slow every thing down with his passing back and sideways
Maybe good news although HITC is usually crap on these things. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/1...ll-out-of-deal-for-hull-citys-tom-huddlesto/?
But at what rate are they amortised? If you pay £9m for a player on a 3 year deal do you write off straight line over the 3 years, amortising £3m per year, or is a different method used possibly some variation of diminishing value? Would the same player with 1 year left on the contract be worth £3m? For ffp do they have set rules for amortisation or can a company choose their own method
9m for Gray would be the 7m + 2m that Brentford originally wanted for us. Reports always include add-ons in the official figure. If we gave him a 5-year deal then that gets amortised at 1.8m a year. I can understand AA not wanting to splurge on unproven talent, but this guy is anything but when he's improved year on year and has started the season on fire.
I more than understand accounting treatment but never looked into it for football clubs. What would happen for ffp if you bought a player on 3 year contract then after 1.5 years you extend his contract for another 3.5 years
Sorry folks, but can someone explain to him that we all use stats, but not just stats? As for this conversation not being relevant to this thread, it would have been if it hadn't been so pedantic about stats, as the nub of it was the relative performances of Hudds and Livermore last season (and that of Hudds in this season) which is extremely pertinent to our sales in and sales out policy - transfers.
