NUGENT WAS TAKEN ON BY JACKETT AS HIS ASSISTANT MANAGER AS WELL AS A PLAYER WHEN HE WAS RE-SIGNED.
NUGENT IS NOW ASSISTANT MANAGER AT LEYTON ORIENT (who are riding high in League 1 at the mo)

 

Interesting that every manager but Laudrup has bought some stinkers.

Also interesting that the 2 strikers we can see we got most value from (we won't know with Michu and Bony until they leave) were by far and away Jason Scotland, followed by Lee Trundle and Danny Graham ....yet both Scotland and Graham received plenty of stick while they were here, and some still don't miss an opportunity to give them some stick!

 

Surely there should be a multiplier for a higher division. You can't compare goals in the Premier League to goals in League One.

 

Yeah, course...but it's complicated. ..too many factors to take account of.

The key is did they score and did they make a profit.
Paul Connor was a success but Trundle scored 1 in 2 ish and made a clear mil at a time when a million was enough to fund the transfers of Rangel, De Vries, Ash Williams, Bodde and Scotland (did he get Pratley for £50k as well or was that Jackett).

The Scotland business achieved something similar and I imagine Michu will have the same effect.

I'm confident Bony is going to be at least as successful a piece of business as Graham.

 

I think you are right, unfortunately the profit we may see from Bony may not placate my sorrow to see him leave. Such a shame a guy who is such a good finisher has come here and not had the service, if he was here last season he'd have had so many in the back of the net!!

 

Can you imagine Bony playing in front of somebody like Beckham crossing the ball! This guy is easily a 20+ goals a season machine with the right service.

Danny Graham could be going back to the Championship for a relegation battle with Bolton Wanderers;

Pete, Thanks for posting. An incredible piece of skill that's gone under the radar and definitely worthy of a goal.

Rock on, Bony, you're really doing the biz for us.

 

The cross into the box wasn't bad either , it's a pity he wasn't quick enough to get on the end of it instead of it being Lamah ?

 

Wilfried Bony
Cost: £12m
Sold for: ?????
Appearances: 30 (18 in the league)
Goals: 16. (7 in the league)
£s per game: £400k (£666, 666 in league)
£s per goal: £750k (£1.714m in league)
Overall value: We won't be able to tell until he is sold/released but the signs are very good given his current transfer value and how early it is in his Swansea career



£750k per goal now Dai

 

If Nottage Jack is reading feel free to improve on what I've done above...get the impression you do stats, or maths at least, for a living....specifically wonder about how to calculate the worth of individual goals based on prize money rewarded (got a feeling I'd need way too much data for that though).

 

About ten minutes into a pre-season friendly against Reading it became obvious that Wilfried Bony was going to be value for money. On recent form he's looking like an absolute bargain and someone we could easily double our money on.

Anyone still in doubt on any of those statements isn't worth the time arguing with, unless it's Dai in which case the comedy value makes it worthwhile.

 

Which is why people who think Trundle was better than Scotland are deluded fools.

 

Updated the post at the top of the page (thanks for jogging my memory Rhys)

 

Your spot on terror....( I didn't think anyone actually reads my posts?) .I will get on the case when I get home after tonight's game.... And 3 points ( I pray..please God.... i am an atheist, but always willing to make exceptions when required please,please,please...)

Hoping Bonys £s per goal ratio is given a huge boost tonight ( the swans stat police)

Right... Must go now.. Post ya later

 

I think we need to add Chico to the list

 

Of course we read your posts, Nottage. Always informative and good value.
