    Just reading stats for Heider Costa he is a 1 goal in 5 matches his figures are below on the link
    why the HELL are we signing a player with these stats ????? i am sure also dweight gayle would not have cost more than this if we signed dweight gayle for 12 million and give him a target bonus at end of season of 3 million when he scores 20 goals i and keep him on same wages as everyone else am sure he would have snatched leeds utd hands off and i would rather have a player like dweight gayle who scored 1 goal every 2 games last season than costa , yeh his name says it all costa packet absolutely ridiculous 1 goal in 5 games is not a striker sorry , whats your thoughts on this ?

    Must be because Bielsa misplaced your number and couldn't call you to get the analysis he was unable to do. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    How many games we had with 20 plus shots, 70% possession etc and lost because the other team had one shot and scored?
    Stats may not lie, but they do not tell the whole truth.

    He's not a striker, so 1 in 5 isn't too shabby for a winger.

    He's a forward , and by the looks of it he will have to be a striker as we wanted a striker , im sure there are other players to be wingers LIKE JACK CLARKE who has been loaned back to leeds utd from tottenham for 2019 - 2020 season

    So he's a striker Wolves played on the left wing and played up top 3 times when they had injuries.

    Hélder Costa (footballer) - Wikipedia
    Style of Play. Costa can play as a Winger on either side of the pitch, he can also play as a Forward, he is known for his skill and his creativity,mainly as a right winger but played many times for Wolves on the left.

    Eddie Gray who is considered a winger scored 0.11 goals per game, on average in the league, about 1 every 9 games. Allan Clarke who is considered a striker scored 0.43 goals per game, 1 goal in every 2.3 league games both in modern parlance would have been classed as forwards. So 1 goal in 5 for a new player who I believe is supposed to be a winger isn't too shabby.

    leeds need an outright striker though , i think leeds will push him to be a striker but he has not got the scoring rate as a striker
